CALM DAY

 Today is what I'm calling the 'calm before the storm'.

But hopefully we won't have a storm.

TOMORROW the asphalt guy is coming here to talk with Stew.

We've just heard that he's a real HOT HEAD.  No shit Sherlock.  I've already seen that for myself.

So, tomorrow might be stormy.

But then, 'K' ain't met my Stew yet!  lol

Stew is back at work today.  He's in Rotorua today.  It might be his last visit to the Rotorua office for a while. 

His business team is splitting into two, so there's always half the team at work, and half working from home.  That way if anyone gets the bloody 'rona', the office can still stay open.

So, it will be back to having Stew working from home on a bi-weekly basis soon.  It's just until Omicron has done it's worst, and life gets back to some sort of 'normal'.

My biggest fear is we get another variant of Covid-19 after Omicron!  This might never end.

Some kids start back at school today, Keera is one of them.  Dante and Archer start next Tuesday.  Bex is hanging out for that day I can tell ya!  

I'm looking forward to this weekend.  Mike and Joyce are expected for the long weekend (Yes, another long weekend!), and we will have Miss Muppet visiting too.

We just love it when we get more family visiting.

Much as we love Steve 'n' Bex, it is nice to see others too.

ABOVE:  THIS.  Made me laugh, cos I've actually done it.  

Have you?

Right, time to get a move on, I want to get outside before it gets too hot.

9.45 am:  Three loads of stones are now in the pond.  I've finally decided it's no longer going to be a pond.

It's just going to be part of the rockery.

No more water.

We have had some drizzle! Very nice I must say.

Taking a break for now.  I will go out again later and do some more.

The fake nails were becoming a pain in the arse.

Getting too long to type.  Hindering me day to day, like how the hell do ya pick up pins with fake nails?  

So, I cut them right back and they are workable again.

I'm not getting them back filled either.  I'm growing them out.

So they don't look hideous as they grow out, I did this:

ABOVE:  Slightly less hideous!  Just regular nail polish on the grown out bits, made to look like drips.  Works for me.  I'm hoping as they grow out the existing splits in my nails will grow out too.

I just fed the two goldfish I have in the big fish bowl.

The girls finally noticed them!

ABOVE:  Coco was like, MEH... it's just fish.

Marley?  OMG so inquisitive.  

ABOVE:  She's really intrigued by them.  Came and sat by me, but kept looking back at the fish... as if to say, what the hell are those?

So damn cute.

I'm gunna have to keep an eye on her till she gets used to them now.  She keeps going back and looking at them.

ABOVE:  And.... before I forget again... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Liam.  Nine today.  Getting BIG!

OMG, I am being so lazy!  Sitting here watching Netflix, just started watching 'The Woman In the House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window'.  It's a bloody mouthful eh?

I'm already at Episode 3.  Might be binge watching it now.

3.30 pm:   Brylee and our cousin Danielle came over for a swim.  Put their feet in and squealed like girls (just joking), but yeah.  Too cold for them!!!

Crazy girls.  It's still hot outside.

I decided to make myself a 'WORDLE' HELP SET.  You can probably buy them?  I don't need to obviously.

ABOVE: This works for me so much better than scribbling possible words down on paper!

I got today's word in 3 tries.  I'm very proud of myself, it's the best I've done so far.

I've only played 4 times so far, but I do believe it's going to become an obsession!  

4.50 pm:  And gosh I'm having an excellent day!

I've now taken 6 loads of stones and dumped them in the NOT POND, now rockery.

I've done a grocery shop.

And I've fixed a garden ornament.

I'll show you that tomorrow, once the glue has dried and it can go back up.

Dinner is going to be Beef Schnitzel and baked potatoes, with coleslaw.

8.55 pm:  Dinner is done, it was yum!  Time to wind down for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
