The crazy season.

It's the crazy season, with only a couple of weeks to Christmas.

Everyone is finishing up school, projects, sport and clubs for the year. The pressure is on to tick off the Christmas list and check store trading hours. Music and school concerts are on. Work breakups to be attended. Preparation for school holidays. Hams, puddings and prawns to be planned. Tinsel to hang, Christmas lights to see, etcetera, etcetera, so on and so forth.


Definitely NOT the time to start building a house. That would be DUMB.


And yet.......

It appears we like to do things the hard way.


The good news is that it actually looks like Santa is going to deliver us a shiny new concrete slab for Christmas.

Three weeks in and everything is marked out, plumbers have started and my favourite sparky dusted off his tools and managed to put the sub mains in. It's hot, dusty and muddy all at once right now but things are happening.


There might not be any diamonds under the tree for me this Christmas but I'll take the foundations of my own home anytime.
