Hello fans and new friends! Well, well, well. Our little corner of the Internet has certainly been buzzing since our last post. Thanks for all the lovely messages and oddly keen interest in mine and Harry’s relationship. Not sure why you’re so invested but it’s been very sweet of you all. We’re doing well, still in our little bubble or ‘honeymoon phase’ as some of you have been calling it.
Needless to say Harry did see the last blog post so the cats out of the bag on the whole date night thing and it’s been a source of endless questions ever since. But I’m staying tight-lipped no matter what underhanded methods he tries to get me to give it up. Short-sheeting the bed? Really Haz? The big dufus perhaps forgot that he sleeps in the same bed. Threatening to withhold his cooking was another failed attempt which was simply countered by me threatening to withhold something else… I’m quite sure I don’t need to spell that one out. Needless to say, our hunger has been well satisfied on all fronts.
We’re nearing the end of our first month on the island and what an amazing experience it’s been. Every day presents new challenges and joys. Just yesterday, we were visited by a Peregrine Falcon, stopping by to shelter from the weather on our verandah. Today, the storms abated enough for us to trek down to a small inlet to watch a parade of Little Penguins over the smooth rocks and up onto the sand. It was really quite something.
We received our first supply drop from the mainland, Grant flying over with Alex in tow for a visit and to check-in on how we were going. We got a tick of approval for all the work we’d managed to get done which was nice too. It was great to see other humans after so long, but weirdly both Harry and I were relieved when they left and it was just the two of us again. We’ve become quite accustomed to our little bubble and so the intrusion was a bit of a shock to the system. God knows how we’re going to be in another five months from now!
The forecast for tomorrow is for… wait for it… clear skies! I’m hopeful that I’ll finally be able to treat Harry to that special date night, so stay tuned 😉
Until next time…
Lots of love from the arse end of the Earth!
No Going Back
