It’s now July and we are still not in the ruddy house yet. Will we be in the house even by September when Jane’s wedding takes place? We keep going up to the house to do bits and bats but apart from a siesta this afternoon, where I accidentally fell asleep on our new bed, much to Elayne’s annoyance, we are still living ‘the good life’ in the caravan. The weather has been kind to us recently so we have slept well at least.
No activity on site today at all, despite Dario saying yesterday that he would be up ‘tomorrow‘, to which I said Domingo? and he said “si“, to fit the glass to the front door and the dining room doors. Being Sunday we fully expected him to arrive with wife, kids and cousins in tow. We will sometimes sit here in the caravan working or doing something and then we look up to find Jose or Dario plus family and kids arriving to take photographs of themselves stood on the veranda in front of the house, bloody cheek.
I was saying to Elayne yesterday that I am now really sick and tired of the whole project. I just want everyone to go away and not come back. Leave us in peace to get on with living here in our house by ourselves. Then I have a drink, cheer up a little and think that it can’t be too long now, surely, can it?
This is the 301st blog since we started. Since the 9th of September we must have published perhaps 270 blogs. As I write the blogs in MS Works and then transfer the days etchings to the real on line blog, I then return to MSWorks and reduce the writings to 1 point size to save them. I have just started on page four of this works document and the date at the top of the first page is 9-9-2006. Not a bad 270 blogs worth on three pages. I can of course take any particular section and blow it back up to twelve point to read it again as well as searching the archives on line. I have just tried an experiment and blown the full three pages back up from one point to twelve point. It blew up to be a document with one hundred and five pages, needless to say I reduced it straight back down to one point again.
