Our man is really enjoying all this water! He loves being so close to the ocean and river. The beautiful climate suits Rob so much and he is always game for a swim or kayak. He is really enjoying spending more time with our boys and their relationship is growing. They adore their dad and hang on his every word. Russell asks what time dad will be home most nights now and so looks forward to our family meal. Yesterday Rob took his second kite surfing lesson and came home exhilarated and exhausted! His ribs were bruised from being dragged and bashed along the beach. His arms were sore from pulling at the kite but his smile was plastered on his face along with all the salt. He still dreams of owning another yacht and watches them sail out across the river wistfully.
Rob has done really well socially here. He has made some great new friends and has reconnected with the SACS old boys in town. He is always meeting someone for a drink or a coffee and seems to be networking really well. He still misses his friends and family quite badly but generally is so happy with his decision to be here. The wonderful lifestyle this city offers is perfect for him.
The house purchase has been brilliant for Rob who cannot wait to get stuck into another renovation project. He is scheming and planning and getting really excited about the upcoming DIY.
Rob is settling well at work and is starting to see the results. He doesn't need to work as hard as he used to in Cape Town which is great for now. He is thrilled that there are lots of opportunities here for his skills as this is a real booming economy with lots of major projects starting up soon so we will certainly always be able to pay the bills. For now we are both enjoying the fact that he is home every night and is so much part of our every day life.
I would love him to write on the blog but it's not his thing. I have to settle for him reading it from time to time for now.
