Back Down Under

I have actually been back for four days now so I am slowly getting over jet-lag. It gets harder and harder though. This time it was also due to the fact that I had to go to the airport the day before the flight and spend the night there slouching in a chair. There is no way I can get myself to the airport from our cottage for a six o'clock in the morning flight. Luckily the airport stays open all night as does the coffee shop.

The flight was great, my seat was on the second floor of the plane in one of those seats where you can stretch out your legs. The service was also very good and I had an empty seat next to me, couldn't have been better really if you just disregard the 25 hours in the air.

So back here in Australia trying to find a place to stay from the end of October. We want to buy something but it will probably be too rushed to find anything so we have to find a place to rent again first.

I had a lovely week down in Grenoble doing stuff that you have to do when you still have a house there and also catching up with friends even though I didn't see everybody unfortunately.

Happy retirees!

I found about fifteen photos of us on my
camera when I got home, I think someone
went a bit crazy with the selfies.

Our neighbors also celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary plus the start of  retired life so I was invited to their lovely party which was held at the Town Hall in Montbonnot.

I think it is me in the armpit of the person in the
grey shirt on the right.
