Brisbane and Getting to Know the Author

As some of you know, I've been going through the busy time of selling house, downsizing and moving from Sydney to Brisbane. Today, having been offline for a few days, I finally arrived in Brisbane in our new place. The pic is the view as of five minutes ago as dusk takes on its hues. I've literally just arrived and set up the laptop on the kitchen bench because the apartment is completely empty.

In the middle of all that, I am also over at the wonderful blog of Karen Lange. Please pop on over and learn a little more about me and my debut devotional, Cling to God.

Now the settling in comes and then you can relax away at your new bay.

You have a lovely view. Hope you get moved in soon. I have your devotional sitting on my writing desk where I can read it before I start writing.

We saw that there are bushfires threatening homes in Sydney on the news yesterday morning. Glad you're safe. Hope the fires are under control. Happy move, indeed!

We have family up here and hubby got a great offer to transfer up to here too, so we thought, why not!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Alex.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

The view has been amazing. So much to see. I feel blessed.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

I'm wondering that myself...

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Many many boxes to unpack. Eek!

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks so much, Hilary

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

There has been much enjoyment... and unpacking.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

The stuff has arrived! So much stuff! Sigh.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

That's so wonderful. Thank you so much, Susan. I hope you gain a lot from the devotional.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Sheena-kay.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Exhausted but full of joy

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

The bushfires actually delayed our drive north to Brisbane. All safe, though, and under control now, so it's all good.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

The add in was all at once and now I need to find places for everything. Slightly overwhelmed, but excited and happy.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks so much, Juneta.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Got it! Only had a couple of bits damaged. That's good, right?

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Thanks, Caitlin. So do I.

Chemist Ken said...

You don't need any furniture as long as you have your laptop, right? They'll just get in the way of the writing.

Crystal Collier said...

I'm headed over to Karen's in a little bit. Or did I visit after she'd posted about you? Goodness, I can't remember. I'm still recovering from last night.

Here's wishing you cheese as you get settled in.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

Wish I'd thought of that before all the boxes arrived

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

I know the feeling

Karen Lange said...

Hope you and your hubby are settling in. Please feel free to stop by and use my internet. :) It's been great fun having you visit this week!
