Last week......

7 days to go. Now things are moving. Plans and lists can at last be finalized.

I have spent several beautiful days in the garden.  The weather is glorious. Should I prune the roses this early?  Is it too late to fertilize?  (I never really know when to do it anyway).

We seem to be spending a lot of time with the children. We went to Melbourne to see Todd and Charli,  Fin has stayed overnight regularly. Mace seems to be at home a lot, eating with us.  He has a new smart phone so he rings from work  at lunch time.  Thankfully Kim is able to watch his usage!
Trevor has finally had the guitar lessons - a gift 2 years ago about to expire!  I have been to a cooking class which was also a gift and would have expired while we are away.

Lovely things continue to happen inside our home.  We have had new blinds installed downstairs;  all the door handles are finally on;  our new airconditioning system (reverse cycle) downstairs is also proving worthwhile especially as the weather is really quite cold.  I don't want to leave this yummy place!!
