PAINTING

 

Another week rolls around.

And this week I am going to be painting soffits.

First thing this morning Keera and I are off to buy paint.

Then once home, Lacy is going to join us and she will do some guttering cleaning, while I make a start on the painting.

I'm hoping that I can get it all done by the end of this week.  

I was contacted by some random person on Facebook the other day.  A friend request.  Normally I ignore and delete.  But this time I was like... hmmm.  Maybe I recognise that name?

So I accepted the request, and was immediately contacted by them.

Turns out it was from a 2nd cousin on my mother's side of the family.  Some bloke who knew my Mum when he and his wife lived in Australia some years ago.

We arranged to have a video call on Saturday night.

And then I totally forgot about it.  

So when my phone rang, and it was them, I was like ... oh hell!  

It was really good though, because I didn't have time to stress out about what I was going to say to total strangers.

As it happened, we had a really lovely conversation, they were totally down to earth and I thoroughly enjoyed yakking with them.

ABOVE:  My cousin Laurie, and his wife Minky.  They live in Germany now.

I love that he has a ponytail!  lol

ABOVE:  My biggest stress the entire conversation was my damn phone was low on battery.  Grrrr.  Luckily, we managed to have a decently long conversation, while I plugged it into the power while yakking.

I hope we stay in contact.  You can't have too many family members eh?  😊

Right, I better get a move on, there's a few things to do before Keera and I head out to get that paint.
