Ok, so here is the thing, I can honestly say that we have never slept this bad or this little in our lives, including two pregnancies, two babies, one a colic baby.
It started months ago, first you dread the actual telling people that you decided to leave South Africa and move to Sydney. Then you spend some sleepless nights thinking about resigning, telling the school, telling your kids. Next up, that wonderfull thinking about selling cars, cancelling cellphone contracts and the like, bank accounts, letting go of people in your employment, the domestic worker, the au pair.
It really never stops, and it is a roller coaster from the minute you get on. You will then start thinking about friends, family, the fact that you have no home, no job, no car, no gym.
This of course culminates in a twelve hour plane trip resulting in severe jet lag, this is where we are now, so I was up chatting to people in South Africa at 1 am this morning, and I can see that Gerhard has been pretty busy too.
Here is to more sleepless nights...cheers!
