House sitting finished, 'Clean up Matata' done and time to hit the road properly again. Yeah. I shouldn't sound so positive as there are some benefits of house sitting.
Number 1, it's a great opportunity to do some maintenance on the vehicle, underseal done, inverter fitted to power/charge tools and oh yes the all important shelf/slot made for his lordships whisky bottle. But secondly and most importantly it's a good time to reflect on why we chose to live on the road in a little black box. It sure makes me appreciate our simple, minimal, nomadic life.

April Fool

We've moved!  Well really, what did you expect? How long did you think 2 people could occupy a space of less than 50 sq feet (4.4 sq m) for? It has been nearly 10 months you know!

At least now we've got somewhere to hang our paintings and display our expensive ornaments.

Shame about all the cleaning though.

1st House Sitting

First 'House Sitting' or should I say 'Garden Sitting' as we had no access to the house. It was good to have access to the pool though.
Note to self if we ever do house sitting again in summer there must be a pool! Indoor heated pool during winter now that could work too!!!

Loved the animals but couldn't eat a whole one. Fortunately they could and we didn't have to eat our leaving presents on the last day (one whole baby rabbit each). It's amazing how animals sense things. I recon Lexie and Snuffy (dog n cat) knew we were leaving and so did the chucks. After 10 days of patiently feeding watering, cleaning out their cage and talking to them they eventually decide to start laying on the last day. Oh well at least we got one egg each, however small it was. It's the thought that counts.

So back to our number one POP in Thornton now and time for Lexie dog to have a rest. Told you no dog was going to out jog us especially one with legs that short. Sweet dreams Lexie.
