Oh Arte I totes feel for you...that was where we were at with our move. kinda backed into a corner as DH was absolutely hating the city. I kept putting off any potential move and tried and tried to make it work while we were there, but in the end, he was so hating it that it was becoming really unpleasant at home...every.little.thing would annoy him (from the way the house looked, to the architect plans, to the bricks, to the kids playing on the grass, to the plants i bought yada yada. it was so gross.

not sure that the move was/is a good idea, but it has saved our marriage for the interim! I like it well enough but i was happier where i was and i have to be careful to not let resentment cloud my judgement on this place (because it really is a lovely town and the house is just sublime).

An emu...that could be cool. one of our neighbours emus got out the other day...they do that apparently. in many respects they remind me of goats. cool, but another child in the house hahahaha
