mundane stuff

Not a lot happened this last week - Paul has finished the fruit garden and made a start at putting a door in to separate the girls bedrooms from the living area (they kept complaining the tv was too loud at night!). We have high cathedral ceilings so he put in the door frame and then needed to brick up above it, unfortunately, he could get bricks to match so instead he has had to knock down part of an internal wall to do so.  The wall was going to come down eventually but not quite yet so outside looks good and now inside is a building site !! Paul's never happy unless he's living in a mess ! No door has appeared yet though !

It's a long 11 weeks of term this time and we're all struggling to get up in the mornings, I'm still the nasty mum and make them walk to school and then the dog and I take off for a longer jaunt on the way back. We do a different route every day and I seen some awesome houses and views. The four of us took Mutley out for a walk down to the beach on Friday and it was gorgeous. The sun was setting and the girls picked up loads of shells from the beach and rockpools. Nakita has found an outcrop of rocks which she believes to be a mermaid's home and she's marked out all the different rooms - I must remember the camera next time !! It was nice taking time out as a family to walk our local area and remind ourselves of what we have on the doorstop. There were even surfers out but I'm a wimp, the water is way too cold for me.

The weather has been really nice again though - a week of 20+ degrees, just one storm which saved the retic having to come on and we got to sit outside for our coffee morning once more. No heating needed at nights anymore and we're due a couple of weeks of this. If this is winter - bring it on, although I do know that August can be bad but I can cope with one month of winter.

Good news re the pool too - the plans are now into the council so we have just 4/5 weeks to wait before the licence will be granted (fingers crossed) and then we can book a date for the digger to start. Can wait for our first Christmas in the pool and Tallulah is already planning a pool party for her birthday (will have to get the pool heated!)
