Brrrrrr

Well its been a very busy week in our house. My daughter and I have been busy making cards for a couple of birthdays in the family.   My baby boy turned 18 (so i suppose its probably time i stopped calling him that).  He also passed his driving test on his birthday so we are all very proud of him.  Travelling around to work and meet his friends will be so much easier for him now and his dad can have a day that starts with a 6 rather than the 5 it had been starting with. 

Most of last weekend was spent going through some of the specifications for the renovations.  Its a big job working out how many of this and what model of that we want.  I think we sussed it although i am sure we will be needing to go through it all again for a final check.

As for the house at the moment!!!!!! Who ever thinks that a wood burner alone can heat a whole house obviously hasnt EVER been in this house.  We have had a few very very cold nights and our bedrooms have been so cold it felt like we were sleeping in the fridge.   I am not one to wish the year away but this year i really am looking forward to spring and the days and more importantly the nights being a little warmer.

When we came home yesterday the council had chopped a dead tree down on our nature strip and left the logs for us so my son and I spent and hour moving them all into the garden.  We need all the logs we can get as we seem to be getting through tons (literally).

The paddock had such a heavy dew on it and was so white my three year old was amazed.

The dog has had the best idea and has spent most of her day sleeping in front of the fire.
