Tuesday 29th September: Oh, it's tricky getting up since the clocks have changed! Today was dry and sunny but there was a thick cloud hanging over the Hunter Hills so you couldn't see them at all from town.
Edward went off on his own for a piano lesson this morning while the boys and I went out to the house to meet the kitchen benchtop man. He got busy and we returned to collect Edward and got some english schoolwork done.
At 10am we walked to the library for storytime. Bronwyn the librarian had asked if I would read a couple of the books, which I enjoyed doing. Jonathan liked making the linked craft which was " a flower that really grows". We picked up some shopping and headed home. Just as we were going to have lunch the kitchen fitter rang to say he had a problem. One of the screws had come through the benchtop and made a hole in the surface. We headed out to see the problem, and it's clear we need a whole new benchtop. There will be about a week's delay before that can be fitted.
The plumbers had also been, relaying the drain that takes away the kitchen water, but it's not clear if they have finished or are coming back later to fill in the rest of the hole. The window fitters also rang to say they will be coming tomorrow.
In the afternoon the boys finished their schoolwork then we went out to the house again to lock up and feed the animals.
The boys played in the back garden, riding round trying out Peter's new cycle computer.
We have had our house painted two colours. The photos show Jonathan sweeping the kitchen floor, and the blue the boys have had their rooms painted.
