The highs today will be finally (all going to plan), getting the makings of our lounge barn door!
Stew and I will be heading into Hamilton around 9.30 to meet up with Steve. We hope to get everything we need from Three Brothers in Te Rapa, then come home and build a door.
I am expecting Steve, Bex and the kids to stay for a couple of days. ALL. GOING. WELL.
The lows. Well things went a bit pear shaped last time they were here, nothing I will talk about on here, but I'm hoping that things go smoother this time. If not I am probably gunna have to change something.
We also have Jacqui coming to stay tonight, so every bed/room will be occupied! Yaaa, love a full house.
Lacy is starting to get used to being shunted into the sewing room! lol
She's probably got another couple of months here before she starts looking seriously for another abode. Luckily she's not too horrible to have around.
Well... unless you count in the morning. She ain't a morning person, not. at. all. *smiles*
Oh cats! I got sent a couple of lovely photos from the girl who took our dog bed! Seems she has two cats, and one of them took a severe disliking to sharing it's bed with the other cat, so that's why she wanted another bed ... for her 2nd cat.
I was recently also sent this photo:
It's little things like this that make my day!
ONWARD...
Oh whoops! No updates till now (3.25 pm).
Oh well, in my defense, I've been busy.
We meet the kids in town and got the barn door hardware... came home then Steve and I went and got the timber for the door.
$600+ later and we went home and had lunch with the family.
Then we got visitors, so I sat down and was sociable, while Steve made a start on the door.
Poor dogs are feeling it.
In fact, he's taking Brylee for a drive in her car, she's driving. Let's see how his nerves are once he gets home. lol
I have a really nice rich beef stew on in the crock pot for tonight's dinner. Having mashed potato and veges with it... I'm a bit sick of cold meat and salad!
11.pm: And dinner was delicious. Followed by a neat evening playing cards. Now everyone has gone to bed and I won't be up much longer either.
So HAPPY... today has gone much better than I expected. No lows. Phew!
So nice to see people enjoying your products isn't it! That kitty is too cute too.
ReplyDeleteHope u got all supplies for door and all goes well with installation
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool to see your hard work appreciated and loved and on the other side of the World. You deserve the accolades Chris. I planned to sew for the rest of the week but hit my 2 little toes and even walking is painful. My whole foot is swollen but they're not broken. Have got my unemployed again son doing jobs for me at least. Well see how long that lasts.
ReplyDeleteThat cat looks so happy in it's new bed. Wow your table runner is on the other side of the world-how awesome is that. Hope the lows become highs and all goes well over the next few days. The look on Brylees's face is priceless!! No sharing between Marley and Denim then.
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy day and a mixed bag re unexpected vizzies, sometimes those days go better than our well planned days dont they??
ReplyDeleteand so neat to see where the items you do,, end up.
Love the view from where the cat bed went as well.
Enjoy your time together and love the way you share the ups and downs of life .with photos n all...
Sharing is a gr8 way to be able to look back too and remember bits of our days,, we often forget in the rush of life
Cheers
What card games does your family play? Ours plays Smear at every gathering and it's stressful for me because they are SOOO INTENSE! They have a fit if you play the wrong card! About dog jealousy - our dog barks when my son and his GF hug. It's like "don't touch my boy human"! Silly animals!
