Things! Stuff!

Hi. Um. I'm good. How's every one?



We went to Fairbridge and had a great time. Food was awesome, company was fantastic, and the solitudes equally wonderful! Learnt a lot about holidaying with kids (bring a heater at all times) and the weekend was a huge success. I am realising only now just how stressy I was getting, since most of it is gone.
:-)

Vinnie managed to spray spray and wipe lavendar at his eyes at Mum and Dad's place. Mum washed his eyes immediately with water, while I read the back of the bottle which said to do exactly that. He has no sign of irritation, swelling, redness or uncomfortableness, so he should be fine.

I'm now 21 weeks pregnant, and seem to be very self-contained at this point. I don't think I'll be posting much in the future for a while, but I am still around reading everything. Not a lot has been happening other than I have been focussing very strongly on my budget and finances, and we have started off the paperwork to extend our houseloan to get our asbestos roof removed and replaced and the electrics done while the roof is off. Oh, and we bought a black volvo with black leather interior as it can seat 7 people in it and it was the right price. We're very happy with it. :-)

I feel content. Pikelet is being a Miss Kicky, I am sure Vinnie never kicked every bloody hour on the hour as well as whenever I think of him/her in between. I am exhausted and happy, less stressed than I have been in a long time, and so glad I got to see some of my friends over the weekend in such a beautiful setting.

I'm thinking about running a bigger Fairbridge next year, with maybe two or three cottages. I realised recently that in a couple more days, it will be 11 years since John and I snogged on the kitchen floor in one of the cottages at Fairbridge, and look at where we are now. I keep all my diaries and stuff, so I am sure that if I looked hard enough, I could even find out which cottage we were in. :-)

Glad you had an awesome weekend and that you are feeling much less stressed - Fairbridge does have that effect, quite unlike a lot of other places... I'm always thankful that you introduced me to it.

Shall we do lunch or something next week while I'm not working?

Yeah
:-)
Mum is on holidays, so I told her tonight I have nothing planned for the next two weeks, so she gets first dibs.
:-)

But yes, that would be lovely.

Makes sense - let me know what time you have when and we'll figure something out :)

Spraying yourself in the eyes with spray-and-wipe sounds like such a Wile E Coyote moment.

Even trained professionals do it. Hmm. Is this airbrush blocked? Hmmmm. It doesn't LOOK blocked. Splut! :-)
