Too Much time and none of it Free

Our House warming gift from Scott and Amy
cant wait to fill them with Ice Cream when the girls get here

This morning I woke expecting to meet the carpenter at 10am but I guess he had other ideas, so eventually he arrived way past 11am and I was chomping at the bit to get out of the house, he and Nelly turned up and she set him to work, around the back of the apartment so that all his dust would not mess the house hooray.  Nelly bought with her one of the Mezuzah for good luck and blessings on the house, I thought it was lovely, she was a little worried that I wouldn't like it, but I did so all was well and my house will be blessed.


When they left it was after 12 and not only had the carpenter turned up but also the men to measure the garden for grass, so sometime in the not to future I will be getting my astro grass, which thank the lord will hold down the dust in the garden.


I locked up and headed to Vulcan junction on the bus, I needed to pick up the mat we had left in the BBQ section on Saturday and collect a few other things for the house, the bus journey was arduous through Hadar which is like all the rush hours rolled into one road, the road works seem to have been going on forever.  I eventually changed buses and headed for Vulcan on the second bus.  I bought the mat and other things in Ace and then did a quick scout around another of the shops before heading back up the hill.  Natalie was arriving after 3pm for her first visit, the wine was in the chiller and when I arrived home My Beloved was already home, he had come home early to sort some more of the lights, this turned out to be a mammoth task for the main kitchen light and he eventually finished before supper and after Natalie had left.  We had passed a lovely evening chatting and Natalie has promised to come over on Tuesday and phone HOT and give them a piece of her Israeli mind because our hot is not set up properly and is not doing as it should.


Supper was a quiet affair of lentil soup, made with brown lentils chicken and onions and a jacket tattie on the side, em emmmm lush, did I mention the tatties here are heavenly.


Tomorrow is Hebrew day and having done nothing with my books since before I was ill I know it will be torture.........
