The last exterior cladding board went up. I finished painting the exterior of the house this week. The plaster board is well under way with all the ceilings are done.

I have used all the leftover insulation on the inside walls of the bathrooms to help dampen any late night toileting stop coming through to the bedrooms. Another bonus is this stops wastage and it going into landfill.

Sue (step mum) pointed out my work of art is actually a work of art!

Painted exterior. Early or late walks with Gem! The lantern worked well to be able to see her on early morning walks.

I had an epiphany and realised we forgot our anniversary. Life has been so hectic I totally forgot. It’s not the first time and I am sure it won’t be the last. We don’t need to celebrate we try to appreciate each other every day rather than once a year.

Early Sunday we hop on a plane to Australia. We are here for a couple of weeks to look after Bette.
