More of the same, then a Christmas party

Today has been a long day, but a good one. Let's get to it.

Beautiful sunrise this morning

Working on the swing

I woke to a message from Halil saying his car had broken down so he was catching a taxi to borrow Thomas, which was of course OK. The sunrise this morning was very lovely indeed, and kept me entertained while I was doing my exercises. The men were a little late today but got stuck in on the walls and through the day they completed this first layer finally. Early afternoon the windowman came over to measure up for a quote for the door to the cupboard under the stairs and we, once again, took him around pointing out the broken fly screens and windows without tilt and turn for replacing. Let's see if they finally get that done. At the end of the day, just before we went out, Bekir and Halil set to replacing the damaged wire for the swing, putting a strong rope up in its place.

Straight after school we all headed out up the road to our favourite restaurant as they were having a Christmas party for kids and we wanted to take Rosie. It was chaos, but also a lot of fun. Rosie had a great time getting her face painted (twice) and playing games with the clown and also getting to meet Santa and having a gift from him. It was a lot of fun as I say but it was nice to leave and escape the noise!

So there it is - that was the day. Thanks for reading and back tomorrow.
