I had a week off over Christmas as my employer had a mandatory shutdown between Christmas and the New Year. But did I just sit back and relax? No.
Being the industrious person that I am, I helped my neighbour build a new fence between our properties. Two and a half days in heatwave conditions constructing a new fence.
We ship-lapped the palings (ie attached 2 palings and then a third over the top covering the join, and screwed each covering paling with 6 screws. So hopefully the fence will stay in good condition for the next 20 years. A much better job than our other fences done by professional fencing companies - in my opinion.
So now our dogs don't threaten and bark at each other through the fence because they can't see through it.
It was also worth it to stop Karyn complaining that I was just sitting around the house doing nothing. She didn't complain for the whole following week!

Girl talk ....
Di and Donna came over today for a Christmas drink or two.
We were sitting outside chatting, when the talk turned to shopping and the great bargains at the shops. I think that Coco aptly demonstrated my mood.
Ok so far.
Oh no, they're talking about shopping.
My head is starting to hurt. I'll just close my eyes for just a moment.
If I prop my head up maybe they'll think I'm still interested..
