Spinning around

Another weekend over and of course we didn't get all the things we wanted complete, completed...

It was a busy week leading up to the weekend with saying goodbye to some family, JO back to New York and Karen back to Canberra. And also adding in some late night painting to prepare the master bedroom for the wardrobe.

We also went to the Coldplay concert on Wednesday night, which was amazing, it's coming close to one of the best concerts I have been to, and we all know I have been to a few. It all started with fireworks, giant confetti cannons, giant balloons and flashing wrist bands. Also not to mention at one point I was 1metre away from Chris Martin as he walked from the front of stage to the back, where he did some songs from back of the arena on a secret stage.

Saturday's plan was to dig some holes for the fence we are going to put up on the sides of the house. We hired a 2 person hole digger to make life easier for us and Aaron's back... but that didn't work. We tried and tried but the machine wouldn't click over. So there went that plan. But on the bright side now the areas are ready to go when we borrow the hole digger next weekend.

So onto the other task of building the wardrobe. Its hard when you design for a wardrobe to be straight and the walls and floor aren't even. Dam you 1950's house. Anyway Aaron got all the pieces cut and labeled so it's like our own little IKEA kit - IKOWALD. We are 3/4 through the wardrobe and hoping to have that finished next weekend also.Aaron is a little obsessed with making it all flush, level and even, but I don't think that's so easy with our little old house.

Mum and dad arrive this Friday, winning! So they can help with all these things and more, Woohoo!
