To friends and family back home, it looks as though the original mid-November date for moving back is now a little too optimistic. Although we would obviously like to get back as soon as possible, completing the paperwork over here is a lot more complex than it should be, and a few other factors mean we are now looking at coming back some time in December. Luckily we have not bought plane tickets yet, so there is no financial hangover attached to this change in plans. Whatever date we finally arrive, we’re both really looking forward to seeing everyone (relatively) soon.
