i haven’t been sleeping very solidly for a while now. because of growing belly. so i’m finding a nap is a more and more wonderful thing.
after lunch today, where we met the rest of the noobs, both howie and i were super tired. so we got home and went to sleep, which meant we missed church. whoopsidoodle.

we bought a fridge today. our first fridge after being married for almost two years.
we hope we got a good deal. it was $500 off, and my grandpa has generously paid for it. so that in itself is a good deal.
it’s being delivered on monday. but we probably won’t switch it on til we move in.
next and last objective is a new washing machine. that’s a bit more tricky.
this morning we had an ob appointment. the time we waited was at least three times as long as the time we were in there. all is good. next appointment includes the test for gestational diabetes.
howie was then going to catch the train to hazelbrook to finish off some TEAR videos. somehow he convinced me that i should go with him. and somehow i agreed and decided i would drive him. i think mostly because it’s an hour car trip or a three hour train trip if the connections are no good. so here we are in hazelbrook, working from someone else’s home.
i don’t reckon i could ever be a tradie. making appointments and running late would drive me crazy.
i came home early today, expecting him any time from 3pm. he just arrived.
he doesn’t seem in too much of a rush. seems quite happy to watch the channel 10 news as he works.
and i overheard him on the phone saying he still has another two jobs after this one.
ouch.
after a lot of trouble, we finally have gotten our hands on a working UV light for the boys! picked it up last night and got it going straight away.
and it was cheap as because it’s just a blacklight tube, rather than being advertised as a turtle light. winner!
so the boys shells should be even more happy now.
can’t believe it took so much effort though.
although we haven’t finished our las vegas dvds just yet, tonight we crack open flight of the conchords. woohoo!
howie and i just went for a sneak peak at our and tom’s new place. along the way howie became an rsl member, so he can have his birthday dinner there tonight.
we imagined a bit of where things might go – for the spaces that are “ours”. important matters like projector and couch placement will have to wait for tom’s input.
i’m excited that guido’s room is blue.
it’s such a lovely house. feeling very blessed and looked after at the moment. both from above and from around us.
happy birthday husband!
tomorrow is howie’s birthday so we had a family lunch today to celebrate. here he is with some of the stash
his swans slippers, from debbie and james, are the coolest! they are so warm and comfy and squishy. good present buying.
in other news, we finally unplugged the heater. at about 4:45pm today. so it had been on for a good 53 hours. a bit of WD-40 did the trick. a repair guy is coming on thursday to check it out – primarily to see what’s going on with the buttons. hopefully he will easily and cheaply fix them so that it can be used again!
How Many?
