QUOTES

 Well, I'm going nowhere today.

Instead, I've got two carpet companies coming to do measure and quotes.  I have a third company coming in tomorrow as well.  Three quotes is par for the course eh.

Kinda exciting now that I've made a start on getting this sorted.

It's still going to take 2-3 months until it all happens with the carpet though.

We are getting the interior painted first.  Talking of painting, I will put the two new colour samples on a wall today, so we can 'debate' which one is best.  Or if we need to get more samples.  Far out, it's such a process!

And it's made so much harder when there's SO MUCH CHOICE!  It does my head in. 😒😆

But for now, I best get a move on, can't be in me nightie when the carpet peeps arrive.  Not a good look.

ABOVE:  I've not had a chance to check the news yet.  I wonder if there was any damage done overnight, with the forecast HUGE ocean waves expected to pound areas around Wellington?

9.20 am;  OMG... FREEZING!  Frost this morning.  It's only 10 degrees C in my house!  So, the heat pump is ON and I've got me thermals on until it warms up!

Looks like Wellington didn't get battered too badly by the stormy seas.  That's so good.

Though, they do expect more today.

I'm about to put the paint samples on the wall somewhere...

10.40 am:  The first carpet company is here measuring up.  The second one is due at 1 pm.  I've locked the dogs in the garage, Marley is going ballistic!

My house is finally feeling a bit warmer.

Brylee has been away on a little trip.  She flew to Wellington, then her cousin D picked her up and they went up to Palmerston North.

Today they are travelling up to Tauranga.  I was a bit worried because of the horrible weather and snow closing the Desert Road yesterday.

But, seems they are doing well... and are not too far away from Tauranga now.

ABOVE:  Brylee thought the snow was beautiful.  She probably has no memory of being in the snow as a little girl, so it's nice she got to see it again.

It's nearly 4 pm, and I'm just doing boring shit like finally getting the washing done.  I've had towels hanging outside for about a week!  Every time I thought about bringing them in, it pissed down with rain.  So, today has been fine and they finally got dry enough to bring in.

It's incredibly QUIET on here.  Is everyone that busy?  Or is this post just incredibly boring?  😏😆😅

I know life is very quiet right now, but hell, I'd rather that than stress and drama.

I'm really enjoying the peace.

MARGARET:  I've not had any quotes submitted yet, so the cost is ???  Not much idea really.

DOGSTARS:  Yes that's in the North Island of New Zealand.  We are a good three hours drive from the closest area that gets snow.  In our South Island there is snow virtually everywhere over winter.

9 pm:  Well Stew was a very happy man this evening.  I made him nachos for his dinner... with a side of mushrooms.  

I didn't have any  as that would have given me dreadful heartburn all night long.

I'll have some for my lunch tomorrow.

Watching TV, can feel the house cooling down.  Totally expect another frosty start tomorrow.
