University Semester Over

I had my final exam for the semester yesterday and now I look forward to all the extra time I have on my hands so I can get back to some blogging.

In the mean time here are a few things I enjoyed on the web this week.

10 Things No One Tells You About Goats

Hope you are all well and I look forward to spending some time reading your blogs over the weekend.

Back To University

Well it is time for me to hit the books again for another semester so for this first week back I will be absent from here for the next week just while I get back into study mode and get going.

I am still studying by distance through Massey University in NZ and am taking 3 subjects this semester: Writing and Inquiry (an academic writing course), Critical Thinking and Psychology as a Natural Science.

I am still working as well so hence I need a week to get back into a routine and working out how I am going to fit it all in.

See you in a week.

Moving, Exams, and Leaving the Countryside Behind

Well it is done.
We have moved out of our house in the country and it settles (the sale is finalised and money in the bank) on the 9th of November.

We farewelled our chickens and bantams who have gone to live with the lovely Liz at Eight Acres. She and Pete kindly offered to take them and seem to be getting  lot of joy just watching the bantam antics and are hopefully getting lots of eggs too.

We have moved closer to Brisbane into suburbia and are gradually getting unpacked and settled in. Some of our amazing friends helped us move and this weekend we are throwing them a thank you BBQ. 
 Jessie is adjusting to a smaller back yard and all the new sights and sound that come from living in close proximity with others.  She has found a few good snoozing spots and is enjoying all the interesting smells on her morning walks.

The new house

The front room is still full of boxes.

Jessie's new back yard.  It goes behind where I stood to take the photo and across the back of the house and half way down the other side

Snoozing with her favourite ball

We still have quite a bit of unpacking to do but that has been on hold as I was studying for my last university exam for the year.  This is now over and I am feeling like I did ok.  Now I just have to wait for my marks.

Studying hard

I am hoping to get back to blogging a bit more now that things have settled down and catching up on what you have all been doing is a priority.
