Louis at 6 weeks

Apparently he's very cute and smoochie!

The guts of it

I arrived home last night to freezing cold, and windows with no cover over them at all. The whole world could look in to watch me watching television!

I got out my hammer and a few nails and tacked up some old curtains to the windows and the sliding door, so I could have some privacy. There was a gap at the top of the wall though, and through the blue grill window, and it was sooo cold. The whole night was one of the coldest I have ever felt, next to the night I spent in a yurt in Mongolia!

Terrible.

I am hoping the insulation and some sealing of walls goes on tonight as I simply could not stand a weekend like that, so cold! Fortunately, although we need rain quite badly, there is plenty of sun expected for quite a few days. That means the project can get completed, and the house will warm up during the day, as well as have heaps of light.

I also feel very vulnerable with all my belongings so exposed to the builders, and the world. Briing on completion!

Cladding goes up

It will all look much better when painted, of course....eventually.

Future path steps

I want to use these bricks, two by two, to make a path in the garden, like below.

I need to fill in the level with new soil and some gravel, but here they are, in place finally. I need to grow more greenery around them too.

Hula-girl flowers for the first time!

So wonderful to see! She's so pretty - the most delicate of pinks. She hasn't grown much since her repot last November. I can hardly wait to put her in the ground and see her grow bigger and lovely.
