Wow, quiet around these parts.

So update on my side, my Dad is selling his business in RSA and my folks are emigrating to AUS, they should have their permanent residency visa's in around 3-6 months but will move in around a year from now. They've already purchased an investment property here as part of the process so that is well underway. Being an only child this is great, easier access to all my inheritance, lol.

Will be awesome to have baby sitters again, haha, and also to have my folks out of RSA so I don't worry anymore.

My side, mountain biking is basically my life now, addictive and fun sport. AUS rocks, life rocks, no complaints at the moment. :)

Things have changed - a friend of mine has been stuck in Sidney and cannot get back to Brisbane. But then she met a guy from Kenya - they fell in love and now she is moving to Sidney.

I had covid. So did hubby and my eldest son. Sadly hubby didn't make it but Stephen and I did. Life has changed a lot.

Yeah all good, and started new job earlier this week as a Solutions Architect for Santos, which is a big oil and gas company here and the biggest company in South Australia, loving it so far.

So sorry to hear about your husband, that is crazy! My dad's business partner passed away from Covid, really makes you realise the severity of the situation once it hits close to home. Wife and I have both had our 2 doses of Pfizer and currently zero cases here in SA, so hope that we don't ever experience it.

Folks have their PR visas now, Mom is arriving end of February 2022 and Dad about a month after, 2 cats in tow, haha.

Wait, how did I miss this?!?!?! :shock: Holy smackers. My condolences.

I had COVID as did my wife. I got over it in 2 weeks, she was down for over a month on an oxygen machine here at home. With me tending to her.
Thank F*** for WFH permanently!

How'd you go about getting your folks PR visas? I'm tempted by the thought and terrified by the thought of what it would actually take to get my mother to move house, let alone country.

They had PR before I even did, around 2009/2010 I think. They then decided to stay in RSA because my Dads company was doing so well, then their visas lapsed after the 5 year period. They now applied for "Resident Return Visa's" but had to prove ties to the country so bought an investment property here in ADL, listed me as their only child, Bob's your uncle, PR granted again 3 months later. My Mom arrives in 5 weeks time and my dad a month after that, super excited!

The alternative if more than 50% of your Moms children live here is viable but very costly, around AUD$50,000.

I am really so happy for you. It will be so nice to have them get to know your kids. And I can only imagine how much you miss them. :D

I want to play the game in Firestrm's sig.

Also, I miss this place. It's like this site is haunted by the ghosts of people who are still alive.
