Far and Away

Yes @Zoe7 .... very busy with family and friends. Legal emails arrived today too, butJ can't do anything with those until next week anyway, so have parked them .....

Lovung hearing your news with the garden and attic, and of course, furbabies ❣️

Great you have parked those up @Faith-and-Hope and can concentrate on spending quality time with your family and friends

The attic is foing to take much more work than I first thought - so will need to be a longer term project. That also means all my school stuff will need to remain where it is for the time being.I will have to move some of it soo though as I need a manual for a refresher course I am doing in a couple of weeks ...and of course it is on the bookshelf in the corner of the room behind everything

It will be amazing when it's finished @Zoe7 .....

Can you make a beeline through the boxes to get to the bookshelf ?

Maybe tArgwt a corner of the attic at a time, anetake the boxes up progressively as you complete 1 m x 1 m sections ?

it is a bit daunting getting a big job like that done. Thinking of it as a series of smaller jobs might help.

I am excited for you.

@Faith-and-Hope happy to hear you are having quality family time 🤗❤️

@Zoe7 💜🐕🐈🐾💜

I am going to need to do it a bit like you descrbed @Faith-and-Hope Mainly because I won't have the money to do it all at once. I will not move anything though until I have all the sub floor layed, a section of chipbard put down and at least one wall plastered. I can then move things up there and do the rest of the floor and other walls progressively over time.

Unfortunately, the way I have stacked all the boxes there is quite a bit to move. I can get into the bookcases by only moving about half of it though so that is one of my jobs for today. I still have quite a bit to do outside so moving the boxes can wait until this evening. It is a beautiful day today so a day outside will be lovely.

Aside from gardening I also have some things to repair so am going to get that all started today too. I am putting off visiting my parents and sister - looking after me and what I want to do first - but will call them later to see how they are doing. I will likely go to see them tomorrow if I make a dent in what I want to do myself today.

I hope you are spending more quality time today with family and friends and your day is filled with happiness and light.

Getting myself through a shower and off to church this morning, then out with family and friends across the day.

Still an oven over here !!! I am looking forward to going out with wet hair, for as long as it lasts ....,

I have been tracking the temperature over there @Faith-and-Hope and really feel for you. It has been way too hot - hard to enjoy everything in that heat but I hope you can manage to stay as cool as possible and enjoy your day out and about with family and friends

I just ran my carpet cleaner for a time to see if it still trips the fuse box. Had a feeling that water might have gotten into the electrics and that is why it kept cutting out - seems like I might have been right as it is working again. I will get the rug out to clean tomorrow morning so if it does happen again I can borrow my Mum's when I go to see her.

About to head outside to fix my front gate - need to cut a rotting piece out and replace then re-attach the latch - not a really big job but will take time.

Will check in throughout the day and see how you are going

Enjoy your day @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope 💞🌷💪✔️

@Faith-and-Hope Have done the first part of the gate but need to wait for the glue to dry to sand, paint and re-attach the latch. That won't happen until later this afternoon. I am not sure I have any paint left the same colour though so that may need to wait. As long as I can get the latch back on today that will do for now.

Whilst I was outside Toby was sitting at my feet supervising then next minute he was gone. I found him on the road so he must have gone through my neighbours place. I panicked straight away but luckily there were no cars around. I have to put up that temporary barrier again but now everything is cleaned up along the fence he could easily climb over in a couple of places so he will have to stay inside from now on when I am in the front yard until I can fix the fence - not something I really wanted to do straight away but may need to make it a priority now.

Hi @Emelia8 sweetheart have been trying to message you on this today,

just to tell you Clawde loves you, really loves you, praying for you that your going great my dearest dearest friend

Im sorry @Zoe7 about the hurtful comment from your Mum, and even worse, how she tried to turn it all around and blame you. 😔

@Faith-and-Hope sounds like another lovely day for you with family and long term friends. You arent going to want to leave WA when the time comes to do so. 🌺 But then again, leaving that extreme heat behind will surely be a blessing. ☀❄🌞

@Shaz51 have you grown webbed feet up there yet, in the path of the cyclone? Good news about quote coming in for house demolition. Hope its a reasonable cost. Do you know what a reasonable cost would be? I would not have a clue.

Hi also @oceangirl @Meowmy @Former-Member @Clawde @Anastasia any any others around.

Emelia 🌷
