IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE...

Our long service leave is over. Our renovations have all but come to an abrupt stop. And we are home in Melbourne.

Home.

No more ocean walks, and ice cream stops. No more living amongst dust and fumes. No more working in two unfinished kitchens. No more sleeping in the same room. No more blundstone boots.

For a while anyway.
