More from Melbourne

Things are moving rapidly in Melbourne. We move into our new house on July 21st. It is in Essendon very close to where my father and I use to watch the Bombers play every Saturday afternoon. The children will start school at Essendon Primary School on July 14th and will look resplendent in their black and red uniforms. Hannah will go into Grade 2 and Sam will be in Grade Prep (equivalent to kindergarten in the US). Sam will face the bigger test because he will be in school all day for the first time and all his classmates will have had six months of school already. But we think he is up to it. I will post first day of school photos in a couple of weeks. We have also agreed to buy a car. A Mitsubishi Lancer. Sam is very excited because it has a spoiler! We are buying it from Rachel's boss and I have to go to Sydney to get it.

The children are having a couple of days with their grandparents in Drouin. Rachel and I had dinner last night at the Italian Waiters Club, and followed up by having a glass of red in a comedy club on Bourke Street. The comedy was awful, but the wine was good.
