Re: Three years in Adelaide
Thanks guys.
Yes, it's a Stiebel Eltron and yes, the Rangers were playing the Blue Jays (I supported the Blue Jays!) It was a close game, but Rangers won after three and a half hours.
I asked why the game was so short, and the Texans were confused; they said it had been quite a long one by baseball standards. You should have seen the looks on their faces when I told them that a test cricket match runs for 5 days...
Here's Pup modelling a pretty handmade ensemble. It was a present from my Texan hosts:
Still a little bit big for her, but she's steadily growing into it. Notice the Texas Rangers cap!

This was our bargain of the last 12 months: a Miele W830 washer for $290! 
15 years old, but still in fantastic condition. Incredibly economical and washes like a boss.

Great thread Vash, congrats on the three years. Your daughter is going to be a heart breaker. 
I love the big Texan house but not the tornado shelter Hope your wife is still loving being here and hasn't had homesickness too much.

Thanks MP. Mrs Stampede's brother visited us earlier this year, which helped a lot. We are hoping to visit the UK for her parents' 40th anniversary next year.

Re: Three years in Adelaide
I just googled mapped Port Hughes and then had a wander as you do. Next to the Kangaroo Island ferry line I found this. Any idea what it is?
