22 Nov

Some Sunday a.m. blogtime. Busy day yesterday. Started repainting the doorframes upstairs so off to pick up the paint etc and also prep some stuff as friends Heidi & Leo over for dinner. It was all a fairly tight schedule as Robin had an out game and we got back only at about 7:15 pm or so (won 6-5 but only just…)  – and Bri had to take Chris out to a party (school mates of his: boring party was the verdict when we picked him up later). And H&L were arriving at 8 – so it was a bit hectic for a while. OK evening but all were a bit tired.

Today – finish off the primer layer on the door frames.

Braces Out Yesterday!

Robin and I are now both braces-free as of yesterday afternoon.

We both have (not sure of name in English) splints? Epoxied wire on the back for the next 10 years though. For me it of course just on the lower set  from the 1st R canine – incisors – 1st L canine. Feels a bit funny but nice to have the braces off though!

Sunday Morning

Doing these posts with Windows Live Writer – which is a piece of software on our PC that lets me write the posts offline and post them later (rather than editing posting direct in the blog page online)

Hope the AKL family is all well and the BD boy had a good one!

Here Robs is on the mend though he did not play in the game last night (had 2-3 out w flu). They won anyway 7-3 and Chris, whose team played right after, also won with 10-3.

 

Nice to hear about the new car Mum – send a photo when you can. BTW should I give you access to post to the blog?

November Weather

Bit of a blah old week this week. Robin came down with the flu on Tuesday evening and spent the rest of the week at home sick – fever and all. At time of writing (Friday evening) he seems to be back to being his usual mischievous self.

In addition Bri is also off colour and Steve stayed home from school as well – all with varying levels of symptoms. Only Chris and me been spared so far. Here are the patients on the couch yesterday evening

In the meantime we’re still not quite adjusted to wintertime (waking up at 06:00 and dozing off at 22:00).

In the meantime Steve did have a great time last week end with his birthday presents. Here is a Lego model from Gran & Grandpa.

 

 

Here is the birthday boy and his cake(s) – need 2 to feed the tribe…

Also – a new update to Google Maps means we also have street view enabled for our street. Check it out – it is a recent photo of the house & street.
