OPEN HOME 2 PM - 2.30 PM

 

Good Morning!

And here's hoping it's a good day.

The weather is looking fab again.

ABOVE:  We picked all the plums off our tree last night.... before the birds got them all.

I am going to leave them out on our bench today, with a sign saying 'Help Yourself' during the Open Home.

Hopefully some are taken, cos we can't eat them all, and I'm sure not set up for making jam right now.

Any left can go to work with Stew tomorrow, to give to his staff.

There isn't much we need to do for today's Open Home.  We might just go out for a wander around a mall to kill time.

Let's see what eventuates.

11.23 am:  just home from a very successful shopping outing.  We found a gift for Miss Lily's first birthday.

Then went on the hunt for a new drinking bottle for me, one that was thermal, but not with a screw top lid to access the liquid.  t

They are a fag.

ABOVE:  Stew in Rebel, the third shop we looked in.  Rather pricey in there, and nothing that I wanted.

ABOVE:  Last stop, Briscoes. And they had the perfect bottle, at more than half the original price.  SOLD.

Home now, and about to do the few jobs that need doing before the Open this afternoon.

Feeling pretty good today... certainly better than yesterday.  I've not had any pain killers since last night, and they were the only ones I took yesterday, so we are doing really well eh?  Still taking the anti biotics, cos well... YOU ALL TOLD ME TO!  lol

There is, believe it or not, a BONUS to having ya tooth out and suffering for almost two weeks!

ABOVE:  I lost 3.1 kilos!  And I think I can tell ... well in me face at least.  The boobs?  Yeah Nah.

It will happen... I just have to keep trying.

I'm going back to NO SUGAR, starting today.

That should help.

It is an amazingly gorgeous summer day out there... certainly will find us all in the pool after our Open Home.

2.40 pm:  And we had our first ZERO visitors today.  It had to happen eventually.  Our Estate Agent said it was like that with most of her Open Homes today.  People are busy getting ready to go back to work tomorrow, or coming home from holidays... bla bla bla.

Never mind.  We are not worried.  

Now, it is pool time.

ABOVE: A certain wee girl started doing this yesterday, and we got to see it today.

Just days before her first birthday... clever little bubba.

6.55 pm:  Just had our dinner, which was gnocchi and meatballs in a honey/garlic/soy sauce. It was delicious.  I swear Gnocchi is one of my newest favourite foods.  You can add so many different things to it.  

I'm so thankful my appetite is back, because I was running on empty for quite a while there.

And now I am feeling a million times better.

On that happy note, I'm outta here.  We are going to enjoy a quiet evening in front of the telly.

Catch ya tomorrow.
