Silver!

Michaela - it has a pool fence in the wrong spot! So yes that will need fixing and we will get on to that. And yeah you better visit! Plenty of room for everyone!!

I'm nearly finished painting the inside of the house, just the laundry to go!!!! Slowly going insane from paint fumes.

Better go and cook dinner.

Did you know you get perfumed paint

Also ceiling paint that goes on pink and dries white so you know what you have painted. i am ready to paint as well just waiting for kids to go back to school next week. Will do granny flat first and set up for Daisy then all kids will have their own rooms again. Lil and Rose have a bunk which i got last year and i detest it, trying to make it etc so will be getting rid of that quick smart. LOL.


All okay here. Daisy's tutor for maths will be here soon she had the worst teacher last year we were explaining the work better than him and I finished school 23 years ago.

Just paid her fees and got her timetable she does not have him this year otherwise I would have have had to do something about it/ She has the English teacher I liked fr4om yr 8. i cannot believe she will be in yr 10

Lily in yr 7 and Rosie of course in yr 2 where did the time go??

I don't know where the time has gone Gina, but I am grateful for the extra year with Ashie even though I worked a lot of her last year before school we still had 3 amazing months together overseas. But fortunately she is one of those kids that has greatly benefit from the extra year out of school.

My house is slowly getting together, only have to tidy up, wash the kids bedroom walls, paint in their wardrobe and then work on the outside. Damien is taking Thursday off and a lawn man that I have used once has cleared his morning to cut the grass and do whatever I need him to do afterwards - like paint the pergola that we have had up for years but never bothered painting. I am glad that I have gone to the effort to paint inside the house because it looks so clean and fresh and decluttered as we are packing at the same time. I'm feeling so excited tonight. I have reclaimed my bedroom, laundry, bathroom and hallway. Simple pleasures.....

Aurora had her Opthamologist appointment today and her eye is improving so she will keep using the patch to hopefully see more improvement in the future. 2 months ago she could just see the first letter at the top of the eye chart and now she can read the first three lines. Yay Aurora!!!

And the Op. will do phone consults with us once we find an optometrist that will do the measurements he needs.

Hi ladies!!

Julie your new house looks fantastic, bet you can't wait to move in! First of all though I hope you get through the painting and the packing unscathed! We recently had the house painted and it was such a stress, I hate moving stuff around for painting!

Absolutely fantastic to hear the good Aurora news! Everything is crossed that her eye's progress goes from strength to strength.

Wow Gina, I can't believe Daisy is in year 10! How time has flown, I still thought she was just starting high school!

Michaela and Jannette I hope you are both travelling well.

Nothing much has been happening here. Josh and Scarlett are finally over their tonsillitis and all three are bored out of their brains but it's been way too hot over here to leave the house. The last week we've had temps up around 43/44degrees ALL day, the other day it was still 42 and 6pm! Next week though apparently is going to be under 35 so we might try to venture out.

Our little town made headlines today in Perth because of our major power crisis! Whenever it heats up our power cuts out meaning that the last week we've had a few blackouts! Our electricity company (we only the one so no choice) has now set up generators and are fixing 6km of underground power lines as a result of mass emailing, TV appearences and a facebook page!

Michelle - I hope that heat let's up for you soon. It's bloody hot here today and we have had to abandon painting outside the house in the front yard.

However, the gardener came this morning and we worked our butts off to do the weeding etc, Damien painted under our new gutters and the house is starting to look amazing!
But even with sunscreen I am burnt and I didn't think to do my back between my shorts and shirt so I have a major strip of burnt back. At least I can't feel it...yet. I have burn cream that I bought last week after I stepped in a bucket of scalding water. I'm over painting and packing and the taste of gatorade.

I am super thrilled that there has been some improvement in Aurora's eye. Crossing fingers for much more.


Michelle we had that problem here a few years ago when the long hot weather truly started. People were getting money back for all the food that was wrecked in their freezers.



It was 36 today 40 yesterday here.

We have the same heat today - it is hampering my outdoor efforts. But we were up early so I finished painting the shutters out the front of the house, now to tidy up and a bit of gardening.
