Saturday again. Edd is at the market hopefully exchanging our produce for other edibles. We have been far too busy to go shopping and everything in our vegetable garden is eaten at the first possible opportunity. (I grabbed some runner beans today and noticed that there was another lettuce available for tonight.)
We are all so tired. Edd and I have to start physical work about 7am and continue on our feet until 9 or 10 at night. That is why I like the grouting job, I can do it sitting down and the house is a much better temperature than the donga. People say we should take time off and relax, but how? When we have nowhere we can even sit in comfort.
Simon goes into hospital for his operation on Monday and we really cannot think of much else. I keep making silly mistakes like pouring the kids milk into the washing up bucket instead of their feeder and my worst error was not closing the chook pen door well enough. The fox arrived mid day and we spent the afternoon trying to catch frightened hens hiding under plants all over the garden. Some of course were lost and one is in an isolation pen seriously injured.
The house is going under ground well and the earth is within a meter of the roof now. At last we begin to get an idea of how well it will fit back into the paddock. My main worry is the lack of glass. The birds are still getting in through the missing panels and I am worried that they will shit all down my newly plastered walls.
