I have a permanent date with Kathryn Ryan on RNZ National 9-12pm. THIS sounded amazing today - we are very lucky we live in NZ. http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/201788671/old-ghost-road-trail
I have to be better at taking breaks, when i don't have any kids with me like today and yesterday i tend to work straight through - no lunch - no stopping. super unhealthy! So tomorrow will be better I've got Mac Attack with me because its not a kindy day - which means morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea breaks - plus probably a trip to the dreaded supermarket. eeeekkk!!
This edging is looking TIGHT!!!

| BORING! sanding back and scraping window |

Stopping all done. A big big sanding day tomorrow. Lucky for me Reilly has gotten a massive vacuum. industrial sized, and it hooks up to the back of the sander - this means that (fingers crossed) 75% of the sanding dust is going to get sucked up up up and away - and not get its gritty self in my eyes! Its a beast of a thing and sounds like a rocket engine. Meanwhile - i had to replace the disc head on my orbital sander - got a bit carried away being distracted, tired and hungry - totally stuffed my sander :( not happy!!




One of the most fulfilling things in life is building or fixing something with your own hands, that would have otherwise been thrown away. Though it's a lot of hard work, it's definitely very rewarding. Now that my wife and I are in our 60's, and have lived in the house we built 45 years ago, I don't think twice about calling up the experts to come do it for me! Enjoy your youth!
