"Daddy's crying"


I was driving the girls home yesterday when our two year old asked me if Daddy was home. I said he would be home at dinner time. Then I added "He's very worried about some things so you'll need to be gentle with him. How about when he gets home you give him a pat and say "it's OK Daddy".

To which our daughter replied "Daddy's crying Mummy".

I responded that Daddy doesn't really cry, but if he did then he would be crying today!

We've had one or two issues with the new windows which have all been delivered now (although at least they look great and the service person has already been out to assess, they're just waiting on metal for replacement parts and the front doors which apparently is a couple of weeks away).

We also had some delays on the plastering in the bathroom which means it can't be waterproofed til later which means it can't be finished before we move in. Which is in less than two weeks!

On a positive note, most of the scaffolding was able to be removed today - yay! That stuff is expensive.

 There must be someone out there who wishes to score a really cool home theatre system, worth a couple thousand, and has something equally cool to swap for it... Please get in touch!:

Hooray! We did the first swap!

A lot has been happening at the McLaren building site, a lot to celebrate. We've moved across our beds to the main house, still cleaning up concrete dust and plaster dust from some of the rooms, still unpacking, still waiting to hear back from our mortgage broker on the results of a bank application, and have got an employment contract confirming I'll start back at work in July (if not before by mutual arrangement). And, we have made our first swap!

It's (not) getting hot in here...

We're very pleased to find amongst the hot and sticky weather we've had over the past few days, inside our little minor dwelling has been comfortably cool. The inside temperature only changes very slowly, despite what's happening outside. I can put our little bubba to bed at night knowing she's not going to wake up cold in the middle of the night, because it will be the same temperature in the morning as it was the night before (or maybe 1 degree less sometimes). That is gold I tell you! Absolute gold! From someone who, up until a week ago had not had a full night's sleep since before the baby was born (July), she's only now starting to sleep through the night. If I now had to deal with hot days and huge temperature drops at night, I'd still be getting up to deal with that. So we're still sleeping in the unfinished minor dwelling. Our quarters are just clay bricks, concrete floors and roof (and we do have insulation in the ceiling). There ...
