Finally an update

My previous post was... *gulp* ... 40 days ago.

(Which means I have posted f'k all in September)
(Obviously)

AND

My previous update on the picture page was... ehm.. can't remember really.
So, as an October Resolution... (eat that Bolsheviks!) and because tomorrow is James' birthday:
An Update!

:-)

The progress on the renovation of the house is visible, but it's going slower than we expected. (of course)
My other half's fears that it won't be finished before New Year need to be suppressed with gentle force, and less gentle, hard labour. Budgets getting tighter, items vanishing from the wishlist/to-do list and non-responsive contractors scourge the plan of our dreams...
But,
(Fortunately there's always a but somewhere)
generous parents, supporting uncles and very helpful cousins tug us through this new experience of making something from... well, something that was already there. (but not like we wanted it to be)
A big thank you to all of you who're helping and supporting us; I'm sure that without you we'd be in deep sh*t by now ... :-)
(Now we're just up to our ankles in it :-D)

Pictures of the progress are pending... sorry...

I did put new pictures of James online though, check!

Have a nice weekend!

Indeed,
but soon the rebuilding process can start, so then the changes will actually be visible... Hopefully that'll encourage us even more :-)
