and look what happens when i go away the forum changes!!!
anyway just a quick update, been here 3 months now and have changed my job again but better place and less work
we are all starting to settle down now the first couple of months were a roller coaster ride, the homesickness kicked in good and proper and we had a few ups and many downs but that is starting to pass
the weather is starting to turn and the warmth is now coming through now, its not how i imagined it to be especially with a 17 year old who left all his own mates at home and everyone does not finish school here until 18 so getting a social life and a job has been hard but now he has made some good mates, plays soccer for a local teram and went for an interview today (got down to the final 3 out of 30)
me and des are still enjoying it although i have put on half a stone with all the good living and the variety of foods here
adelaide is a lovely place very multi cultural and buzzing still to find a decent local without pokies but have found one place which is fast becomming our local (and no pokies)
dont know where i would have been without the adelaide brits over here so if your coming this way you will be welcommed with opened arms and guided into the light
so far the right desicion has been made but only time will tell
