The sun's shinning!!!

OK so it's still a bit cold but the sun's shinning and that kinda helps to get the A into G!!!!

You can see by the attached photos mum's place is now to roof height... she was a little worried about whether it was going to be big enough ... she didn't think she cud fit her bed into the bedroom!!! But now that the walls are up she can see the place is going to be plenty big enough (not sure it's big enough for my craft room !!!! Only joking mum!!!)

I am soo jealous ... mum's view will be the best of all of us... she can lie in bed and see across the whole valley as well as along the main road... Our house is set too far back to see the same lovely view!!!

The Lounge window on the left, bedroom window on the right.

The patio doors ... leading out to the pool deck (that's not there yet)

Back door on the left, side window into lounge next to that, bigger window on right - kitchen window.

This week they should start delivering the bricks for the main house ... Bruce the Builder reckons 2 weeks and we'll be to roof height on the main house ... these guys really know how to 'move their asses' when it comes to brick laying!!! The idea is that we want to try and get the roof on before the rainy season starts - end of August !!! ( keep your fingers and toes crossed that the money lasts that far !!! lmao)

I have to tell you about my phone call this am ... well first my conflab over the weekend with one of my bestestest friends Nan ... Kelsey and I are going to visit Ben, Nan and the kids for the next school holidays (end September). Now some of you who have been reading the blog awhile will have seen the kinda neighbours Nan has ... she is the luckiest person alive, she lives on a Game Reserve ... one of the few that actually has THE BIG FIVE (Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Wildebeest) !!!! We chatted about all the lurverly things we gonna do while we're there , Nan's a 'virgin scrapbooker' and we are going to get our hands into some of my stash ... and of course the fact that she has such wonderful ... PHOTOGRAPHIC opportunities I am sure you all gonna get jealous !!!

She phones me this morning at 7.28am to tell me that she almost ran over a mummy lions tail... that's how close she was to her... if it hadn't been for the lions 'warning growl' she probably would have opened the gates without another thought and been a morning snack for the pride sitting just outside her front gate.... (how fab is that !!!! no silly! not the fact that she nearly got eaten but the fact that she is so close to nature in her little piece of paradise... lmao how do you explain to the teachers "sorry we're late today miss, but a pride of lions was at the gate and we couldn't get out !!!! )

Oh I can't wait to visit ... and of course to see you all, Nan!!!!(lol)
