Big Swim

We did it! A team consisting of my Dad, friends Campbell & Brian, & myself made it - we swam 19.7km in a relay from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island in WA. We took 8 hrs & 24 minutes and feel right proud of ourselves.
When I can get some pictures that don't show us looking utterly shattered & in cossies, I'll post them.
It was one of the most challenging physical things I've done (apart from having children) and very rewarding. Thankfully (??) the last 1.5 km was against the current and I can safely say it has ensured I will never want to do it again.
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes.

Stairway to....... more space!

Maybe now they can get upstairs more easily we'll see even more progress.

On the inside


More has happened on the inside over the last 2 weeks, and it is hard to show. We now have the ducting for the air-con (wish it was working) and all the gyp-rock installed. This week the roof on the ground floor will apparently be replaced. Of course, rain is predicted all week.

Happy Birthday 6 yr old!




Everyone had a ball. I can highly recommend Northbridge baths for a kids party in summer! Thanks to Susan for the lovely pictures again.
