Wave ta-ta

One of the most important things to do when moving to a new place is deciding where to live. We're currently in the eastern suburbs, in Randwick; BG's a few minutes away in Zetland and his girlfriend Louise is also a few minutes away in Maroubra. Today we decided to go explore the suburbs on the other side of the Harbour Bridge, in North Sydney....St Ives to be exact. Apparently alot of the South African Jewish people gravitate towards that neighbourhood but we decided to check it out anyways. Wow....they have real houses there...like big ones...with gardens....and some of them even have long driveways.....and best of all...NO WALLS WITH ELECTRIC FENCING!!!!! It's a really nice area, very quiet with lots of trees but a wee bit out of our budget but at least now we know where to aim. St Ives is a mere 20kms (give or take) from the North Sydney city centre but it felt like it took forever to get there. But the drive was not in vain as we found a South African butcher who sells boerewors (SA sausage) and biltong (dried meat) and dry wors (dry sausage). It also sold Mrs Ball's, Five Roses, Raj curry powder, Aromat, Chappies, Safari dried fruit, Ouma rusks and the ones that had me the most excited....Astros and Chockits!!!!!! But I held back as it's only a couple of days since we left home. After this long trek out there we have come to the conclusion that we'll probably stay in the Eastern suburbs as it is much closer and more accessible to downtown.

Anyhoo....the whole point of today's blog post was that while we were deciding what to do and where to go, Justin started waving!!!!! Mum was ironing and waving at him and he eventually just copied her actions so it's not the perfect wave and it's definitely not the Queen's wave but it's so cute.
