It is hard to plan though, because work usually dictates the areas people move to, but not in our case. We moved here for Uni & School for the kids.
Hopefully it won't be a bad place for work commuting etc...

Sorry about your FIL. I hope you're all coming to terms with your loss.
Good to read that otherwise you're all settling in fine.
Happy New Year 2011 to you!
Your new life gets better and better

Please send my best wishes to your family for the new year and a speedy settling in time.
p.s.
Ran out of gas halfway through the braai last night.
Guess it's time for a spare.

Re: Alfresco's Blog Update
We tried the kettle braai again today. Managed to cook the meat but there weren't enough coals left over for the toasties . Did those in our $9 toasted sandwich maker. Much more of this and I'll cheat like the rest of you and buy a gas braai But first I'll try picking up windfall wood by the roadside and see if that works any better. Briquettes here are a complete waste of time

A nice gas braai is really handy. Try Bunnings or Kmart.
Thanks BC. Yep was great weather. The views are fantastic. Need a long zoom though to catch the detail on the ground.
The lift is super fast too! 75 floors in less than 43 seconds. Amazing!!!

I have upload some pics of the floods we had here. Our house wasn't flooded. The flooded house in the pics is down the road from us.

The comparison pics show the water level on different days of the flood.
