Kate’s allegedly a human (although increasingly right-wing bigots would say otherwise). She’s definitely not a vampire, despite what some other people claim. She’s also mostly built out of spite and overcoming oppositional-sexism, racism, and other random bullshit.
So she’s either a human or a lizard in disguise sent to destroy all of humanity.
Either way, she’s here to reassure that it’s all fine.

Raaaaaarrrr!
1.1tons (1000kg) of gravel delivered pre-bagged (~55lb (or 25kg) / bag). Lifted 500kg of it (probably a bit more) off the lorry. Just finished moving the entire ton to the back garden on the hand truck by myself. Raaaaaarrrrr! [Tired now]

Oh yes, I’d done that, obviously.
I realised after the last post that I’d not actually finished putting the render on the back of the house. Well, on the corner of the shed/laundry room. Because it needed two coats, and I’d only done the first. So I’ve done that now. And I used the excess to build up a bit more…

Quirks of timing
Last night, as the clocks rolled on past 2, I hauled myself out of bed, jumped in the car, and took myself across the city to my friends’ house, where they were packing up their last few belongings into a pile of (14) cases and bags. Thanks to: a roofrack, enthusiasm, and a lot of…

Bonus Moron
So, I misread something. It may make essentially no difference, or it may put us almost an entire month behind. It turns out that, whilst my friend received her letter giving her the appointment for them to have their visa interview a couple of weeks after their statement of readiness, that process can take up…

Fear is a great driver
So, despite sleep deprivation from being post (very busy) nights, I hauled my sorry ass out of bed yesterday and painted the porch, the patches on the wall that needed touching up, the sink pillars… …and the wall in the laundry room. Today I put a second coat on the pillars and the porch, and…

Hi-La-Ri-Ous
So I just checked and my SSN should arrive within 2-3 weeks of landing in the US. … I have 30 days to get my driver’s licence in Washington State. … I need either an SSN or ‘proof of ID’ – a multi-stage, minimum 2 week process – which involves presenting proof of address twice…

It’s Sunday
I’ve worked two superbusy nightshifts – and last night was just insane. Nothing simple, no straightforward patients, not a single bloody easy thing all night. I was (and am) wrecked. Getting up off the sofa for night-three is proving to be quite challenging. Despite spending some time fuzzling and being nuzzled by next-door’s cat.

I forgot…
that I needed to touch up some of the white ceiling paint and areas above the picture rail. …but I’ve done that now, so never mind, we can take that off the list too. …and I’ve transferred the CDs from the open plastic crate under the chaise to sealed / labelled cardboard boxes. …and I’ve…

Rapid, we hope.
So, my friends who are moving to the US this coming week went from a standing start to packing their stuff into a container today, in 3 weeks flat. Although they have been living in, rather than renovating, their house, which makes that side a little easier. However, in contrast, and meaning they definitely win…

Productive, even with the extra work.
So, I managed to make some extra work for myself. After living with our lovely counters for about 4 and a half years, I put down the – I thought clean and dry – blender top and then discovered it wasn’t. It’d left two water stains on the counters.
