Nice boardwalk near home

This morning I signed my house away.  What a strange feeling...I have to be out by 31 January 2011, but can, of course, go anytime from now.

To celebrate, I bought myself Susan Boyle's Christmas CD, which is playing as I type.  I know I said I'd never buy another thing, but this will be nice to listen to in the car as I go between houses over the next weeks.  Philip wants to borrow my car - a stationwagon - so I'll drive down (with a lawnmower that a friend gave us) and he can use it to move various bits and pieces they don't want the removalist to handle.

I've googled the library, aquatic centre, etc, in Hornsby and am pleased to discover they are only about 4km from the house, as is Westfield, one of those dreadful shopping centres that I don't like a bit, but I suppose I will go there occasionally.  Here's a pic - I'm sure these places are the same the world over:
It seems too good to be true, having both bush and city right on our doorstep!

Yes these barren commercial outlets must be the same the world over but I have to say I have never seen one quite so quiet as in this picture, we are always falling over each other - it is 'orrible.
What a lot of new things you can look forward to over the next months not least seeing your grandchildren almost every day - I can heartily recommend that.
