nice times but no john
i am trying to be a better blogger and so i am hoping i think of something to say before i sign off. work is a bit quieter this week which is nice. its nice mil and martin are here. the birds are nice at the moment as chipper and chatter. there are port lincoln parrots, major mitchell cockatoos, black cocatoos with red bits, babblers who babble and look at themselves in the window reflection. they hit the window so hard i woke up the other morning thinking it was john french trying to wake me up to go running. i felt really bad that i had slept in again (as i did so ofeten) and it took me a bit to realise john wasnt waking me up. that made me feel less guilty but also sadder because i really thought john was up for a run. anyway mil adn martin werent all real impressed by the chatter and stuff either but it is pretty cute. anyway the birds are all pretty nice but john for a run would be better.

Well, need I say more! There I was, doing my laps in Alice Springs swimming pool and I get to the end of my 16th lap and there’s Mil on the side of the pool having just arrived in Alice. I guess she knew where to find me. I was very surprised. They arrived a lot quicker than we thought. I think they get on the road earlier in the day than I normally do. Any way, it’s been just lovely having them here. They arrived just in time for Keith’s birthday so Mil baked a cake because she was home in the day. She and Martin also scrubbed our kitchen clean. It feels so lovely having them here. Tonight Martin wanted to go into a bike ride around ALice as part of a protest against the ALice uranium mine so we joined him for that. Then Mil and I rode home along the bike track. It took abit longer than we thought and we did the last couple of kms in the dark. But that was OK. Keith has learned not to worry abut me on that bike track any more.

well i am replacing my last post with a multiplication in the desert. the second cabin has now been delivered and is sitting next to the the first one. it all looks beautiful. stella and I were thinking of swapping with mil and martin. we live in the cabins they live in the house. actually there is still a bit to do but it sure feel better being on the site. the crane guys were just magicians. ended up being a very tricky job but they just sorted stuff as they came to it. we are going to pour the footings early next week. getting the building before the foundations makes every thing back to front with transportable cabins.
we are really appreciative of the love and work put into these cabins by student builders and feel very privileged to have these buildings. they sit very happily in their setting and we are looking forward to them coming to life.
