Day 5 at home...it's agony getting up in the mornings as the bed is so warm and comfy, and it's sooooo cold and dark early in the mornings. Indeed, the sun rises at about 7.30 am! Daylight savings kicks off at the beginning of April though so we get a lighter morning but the days will suddenly feel so much shorter. Rachel brought two sets of kitchen people to the house as she is wanting to upgrade the kitchen counters and cupboards - how lovely for us! She makes a fabulous landlady. After lunch we quickly dashed to a $3/bag clothing sale at a church charity shop and found a dressing gown for Aaron, two other tops for the boys, and Aaron's choice of blue hibiscus shirt. No punishment for him if he ends up not wearing it! Dropped Nick and the boys off at home again and went out to the Warehouse, alone, to browse - looking for something specific which I didn't really find, but I do enjoy familiarising myself with what the shops have to offer. Back home I hemmed the tablecloth (using a borrowed machine) which took considerably longer than anticipated. Meanwhile, Shirley and Miriam arrived to sort out some of the front garden. Nick and I are useless garden people so were more than happy for them to bring their expert green fingers in to clear away some garden debris. Nick pitched in as well, and Caleb and Aaron were great with keeping an eye on Peter and Harry.

Your winter will be darker than you are used to indeed. I compared the latitude here and you will actually be closer to the south pole then we are to the north (but not too much). The darkness of the days not only makes it hard to get up but affects my mood in winter. Make sure you get outside when the weather is nice and get some sun - it will help you!
