I ♥ Queensland

by Lia Halsall

Beautiful one day, perfect the next. What can I say, but life is good when you are living in Queensland. What’s not to love about it.

It’s been a month now since I moved here and although I’ve finished unpacking everything I’m still getting organised and settled. Having had to start work straight away I was only left with week nights and weekends to do everything and we all know that takes time. I’ve also been kept busy with replacing and repairing some damaged pieces of furniture from the interstate move. Slowly but surely I’m getting there though and that’s the main thing. I’ve also been buying and ordering new furniture and for those of you who are friends with me on facebook you would’ve already seen the pictures that I’ve posted up. I’m receiving a big delivery next weekend so I’m looking forward to that arriving.

Hubby arrived in country safe and sound and has been working some pretty long hours. Tomorrow will be his first day off since he arrived there over a month ago now. When I put things into perspective, my unpacking our home by myself is nothing compared to what he’s given up and endures every day. It’s been pretty sad over there and here these past couple of weeks which obviously hits home hard. But we do what we do because we love our country and are proud to serve it.

It’s time for another coffee from the newest edition of the family, Breville Fresca Espresso Machine. It was love at first sight, well for me anyway. More stuff to do so I better make a move.

Have a great weekend!

Lia, I can tell by your post how happy you are in your beautiful new home and also the fact you are living back in Queensland again. Would love to see some photo’s of your new purchases.

I’m so relieved to know that hubby has arrived safely. No doubt he would be wishing that he could be home with his gorgeous wife enjoying his day off tomorrow.

How are the fur babies? i hope they have also settled into their new home with their “Mummy”.

We’re all settling in nicely Lorraine. The weather certainly makes a difference that’s for sure. xxx

Hi Lia
Your move sounds like it went as well as it could go! And I know what it’s like when hubby is away, that’s why it’s so nice to have the fur babies around! Good luck with the new furniture delivery! That’s always exciting!
I saw your post of your brothers site……amazing Horses! Absolutely beautiful!
Take Care

Actually it was the worst move in my career and with the most damage done Penny. But no point focussing on that now, what’s done is done. The beautiful weather here makes up for it though. ☀ xxx

I love Queensland too and I will also be making the move ‘home’ from Melbourne sometime within the next year.

Im pleased for you that you are settling in.

It’s certainly good to be back, it’s sunshine for my soul Friday.

Daniel’s pretty tired but it comes with the territory over there unfortunately. It could be worse, much worse. xxx
