Frame is going up today on house number one - it rained again last night and delayed putting down the flooring on house 2. Graham is not wildly happy with the framing system as the frames are not marked a-a b-b etc so we can match the ends. However, we have done quite a bit of the jigsaw for today and it really looks like there's a house being built. As it is an entirely new building system, Graham has had some questions but I have overheard him saying to someone that he thought the flooring system was pretty good, apart from the approx 3000 screws/nails we have put in. I even bought a new drill for the exercise and it sure is getting some use.
On the home front, I have learned some interesting things. Sarah is going out on her first leave this weekend, thanks Dave & Jo! Have found the library and met some locals. I have learned things about sniffing paint, disability advocacy as a job, the best place for vegetarian lasagne and of the cat lady who has the most interesting house - it is decorated, entirely from ceiling to floor, with stories of cats and some legends redone with the cat theme in mind. Will post photos soon as I work out how to 'bluetooth' em from my camera. It is truly the most remarkable thing I've seen in home decoration.
Bash, Cam and Tory had a rowdy old time on the verandah yesterday on account of it rained 160 points so he's happy. Don't know about poor old C&T - they were going to harvest some buffell which wouldn't look too promising now. Bash cooked 'em a big fat roast which I'm sorry I missed. I had a stubby of strongbow and a piece of chocolate and went to bed absolutely wrecked.
I'd better go, my 15 minutes came up pretty quickly.
Hey, Jen - I will try to make this as rivetting as possible from here on in.
