New Years Day

After having such a productive day yesterday fixing all the available cladding to the end of my shed (just never got around to doing it) they were sawn ready just needed a bit of good weather and the inclination. I also fastened the facia boards to the far end of the shed, yet again made […]

New Years Eve 2023

Invited to our neighbours’ house for a party we had an absolute ball playing games, drinking and eating in great company. It was midnight before we had time to blink, we were having so much fun! I had set my stall out to watch Denver verses the Chargers so it felt a bit rude to […]

Not because I had to

We went to help a couple of people that fo to church with Jamie today who were threatened with eviction if they did not sort out their house which had been deemed a fire hazard.From what I gathered the Mum is  a hoarder and the daughter struggles to break the cycle or maybe part of […]

Talked until my throat hurt

Not literally, but nearly I love having Sean Williams as a guest at our house because he is such great company. I have so much incommon, and it is always like we’ve never been apart, and talk constantly until I drop him off back at his mums without taking a breathe. That to me is […]

Double doubles

Went around the board on double doubles (hit the double with two darts out of three) took me about hour and a half which I thought was pretty good considering that six months ago no matter how hard I tried I could not hit double two to save my life. I love throwing darts, and […]

Christmas Day 2023

“He did it again?” Yes after meticulous planning I yet again made her squirm… We had a great day that began at 7am when both children crept into the bedroom all excited to “see if he’d been” We did the traditional I go down first, setup the laptop so Grandma can be part of our […]

Christmas Eve 2023

A couple of errands in the morning, but the afternoon was all about traditions and getting ready for the big day. Jamie toiled all day with baking and cooking and prepping finally sitting down about 7pm to do a new thing Reagan thought of Family Secret Santa. Lincoln made Reagan a Christmas tree farm (Taylor […]

P5 Christmas party

Having spent the morning getting sorted for Christmas I met up with my walking mates at Jakes house for an early afternoon drink. I was back at home by 7:30 and the plan was to go out for a drink with Jamie but she was not that keen when the people we were supposed to […]
