Moving Weekend: From CBD to Cottesloe

On January 21, we packed up our gear at the Mounts Bay Waters, loaded up the rental car, and drove out to the apartment in Cottesloe. Without all the furniture and other usual paraphenalia, it was the simplest move we've ever made. A few suitcases, a few bags of groceries, and we were done.

Here's a video of the view from the livingroom looking out on the tennis courts. The beach is one block away on the other side of the tennis courts.

One of our first visitors was Ned, Harry's son's family dog. This impromptu visit (he let himself in) was a very good thing because I was by now in terrible dog deficit. Ned is a "good dog."

One of the challenges of the Cottesloe apartment is that it doesn't have air conditioning....yet. The first time we looked at the apartment, we told Georgia that our only concern was that there was no air conditioning and we were concerned that Chris wouldn't be able to sleep in the heat. Harry and Robin were already thinking of installing air conditioning, so they quickly arranged for an installation. The earliest the AC company could come was February 14. And, unfortunately for us, the following weekend a 40 year record-breaking heatwave hit the coast.
