from a travel perspective, shannon and i headed up camping to a place called kahuna for the melbourne cup long week. we spent three days relaxing, reading magazines, swimming and sunning ourselves next to the river. i've never done so little but it was a very restful and much needed break for both of us!
we didn't finish the bathroom until mid-october with an entire weekend devoted to priming, painting and doing the trim. whilst it looks great, if i'm to be completely honest, it's still not finished! the grout applied by the tiler hasn't dried or sealed correctly and so he's having to come back and re-grout the entire floor L and the toilet we bought had a leak which caused staining and water damage in our ceiling on the floor below. we're dealing with the insurance company which is taking some time!
otherwise, we've been doing traditional life stuff and getting ourselves ready for the christmas break! we've bought all our presents and they're wrapped under the tree which is awesome as the shops are ridiculously busy with people and i don't handle the madness very well J we also celebrated our first year anniversary at the new house – it's hard to believe that a year has passed already! it's true what they say – time speeds up as we age :)
we're heading on a driving holiday after christmas, driving 18+ hours to queensland for 11 days which i'm excited and not excited about… that many hours in the car sounds very daunting but it'll hopefully not be too painful!
wishing everyone a happy and healthy christmas and all the best for 2015!
hugs,
s
