A few bricks short of a load...

Sunday, 10 January 2010

You may possibly consider G and I a few bricks short of a load after hearing what we did today... Having stumbled across what we assumed to be a small lot of cement covered bricks on ebay for only $10, 8km from our house we excitedly prepared the little yellow car to collect our new veggie patch path. On arrival it became clear that we definitely bought more than we bargained for. Sitting on the front lawn of the house were 400 cleaned and neatly stacked bricks, and about 1000 more cement encrusted bricks randomly scattered around the garden. Evidently not a job for the little yellow car. We hightailed it to the nearest Budget rental and hired a '1 tonne ute'... Even with this impressive vehicle it took us 3 trips and most of the day in the searing heat to pile the bricks up in our backyard. We now have enough bricks to last us a very long time - though we are of course too tired to do anything with them today. Instead we strung up the defences for the plants against tomorrow's 43 degree heat wave.

I also packed my bags for the first day of bootcamp! I start a 1 month, 3 mornings per week intensive bootcamp course tomorrow to get back into shape for 2010... Am looking forward to the workout, but definitely not the heat or the 5:15am start! Oh well, the sacrifices we must make to attain good health. Oh, and in health news apart from the chocolate thickshake and chocolate chip cookies I scoffed today, the Nepalese cookbook trial has been enormous success :-) Apart from the daal every single recipe has tasted delicious :-)

Fingers crossed for a fire free scorcher tomorrow!
