A week without internet. Oh my god. It was terrible. The things these people out in the sticks have to put up with...

Anyway, we're back. On the net that is, not in Brisbane. Though the unit does look pretty good now that it has been painted. And the stairs are stained. That's only about a year after the project was started. They weren't sanded too well but still look much better than they did before.

We do have stuff spread everywhere up here still but we are slowly working out way through it all. And then I'll have to mow the lawn. Not looking forward to that. And then, in a couple of weeks, I'll have to mow it again. What is it with that?

Ever since we saw the place i've had ideas for renovations but I've finally convinced Kel that some of them are a good idea. We can basically add a separate office (and so have four bed rooms plus an office) without actually adding anything to the house. All we have to do is knock out one internal wall, move another about a meter and build a completely new one. Seeing it took me a year to finish the cupboard at the unit that should take me... Hmmm, what year is it?

We've been to Kingaroy a few times and it isn't too bad. We mistakenly wandered into a Jesus shop the other day but we survived that so we should be right now-- we've seen the worst. There was a bit of an episode at the hospital today (when we went to register Kel for the antenatal thingy) but I'll tell you about that next time. Will also tell you about wirk, which starts on Monday at 7:30am. Oh my god.

Other than that, we looked at some dogs to buy today. May be getting a kelpie pup. May not. Depends how we feel in the morning. We won't actually get it tomorrow as we are going to Brisbane...

We've only spent about four nights up here so far. For a while it felt like we weren't living anywhere but when we walked in the other day (after a few nights at Kel's parent's place while we were painting) we both agreed that it felt like home.

That's all.
