Woh, that's quite a gap!

So it's been AGES! (well, in blogging terms)

With the house in pieces and our lives under constant demand, I've had very little time to write in this thing.

BUT let me recap some important events over the past week or so:

Nene's holiday
Janene went to Collaroy on Friday for the Women's Bible Convention. The ladies all went in one car. They listened to Chick Yuill's message (6 cds!!) from the Men's Bible Convention last year (which rocked!).

Work
Rural Flyer is back from the printers. It looks GREAT and I'm very happy indeed.

Country Catalogue, March edition is finally out as of today. The lead up to this was mildly hectic and I ended up working until late/early in the morning on Friday and Saturday nights.

Building
Our home renovation project is well underway... the builder, John Parker, had another job postponed, so he has been able to spare an extra week here. John is a nice guy, but probably a bit lonely. His kids are all grown and left home, and he's not with his wife anymore ("estranged" as he described her).

We invited John for dinner one night, and I think he appreciated that. I probably saved him one more lonely night eating a TV dinner.

The kitchen is kinda finished... the worst wall is replaced. We now also have a door exiting the laundry to outside. We have to have a small landing and stairs built there so we don't fall out on our faces.

There are a heap of wasp nests under the eaves of the roof which are proving difficult to get rid of. I've sprayed em a few times and made a dash for it while they got angry and looked for someone to sting.

Kids
Eli has been enjoying school. He still manages to smuggle a toy car in his pocket or somewhere. We've tried to stop him, but now he's convinced us he only wants to take one to play with under the "Peppers" (it's an area where the kindergarten and year 1 kids play - probably under some peppercorn trees).

Clayton is also enjoying his time at daycare. His current habit is putting rocks in his mouth. If you see him with a bulgey mouth, you know he's sucking on a stone.

I can't say much else interesting has happened. Life is really hectic while we're living in half a house - one half in pieces, the other covered in dust.

Intresting stuff will be posted as it happens!
