Sunday Up at the crack of dawn to see the family off. It was so early it was still dark! I was up but clearly very sleepy still… After some fond farewells it was time to head back to bed, there’s no sane reason to be up any longer than you need to be at this time of day and and on a Sunday of all days.

Friday Chan – Busy in the morning getting as much work as possible done as it’s another POETS day for Matt and I but far less exciting today. Tonia – So, today is another day to spend some quality time with Mum and also give Anya a bit more of a walk, hopefully a little bit of time off the lead for a change.  We have decided that we are

At around 230km each way she’ll be

Wednesday Matt and I were working again so back to Tonia: Bit of a late start today as once again Anya decided to go for a run after Meow and straight out the door again this morning.  This time the chase lasted longer and Mum came to help. Anya had managed to get into the neighbours garden this time and while it looked like she was almost ready to come

with Tonia and Anya Sunday Back to the world of work and preparations for impending ‘visitors’. Job 1: make a ring that actually fits – priorities people, my family are coming and we don’t want this to look ill considered! The one I have is rather too large and my temporary plaster solution is incredibly annoying, and sticky after a while. It took sometime but eventually we got the size
