Across to Ann at Help, I'm Stuck.
Why not pop in and join up ????
I know that today we have been in our new home for 3 weeks.
3 weeks of waking up to views like this.
Except on days when it was all misty and then we woke to this.
I know that the cost of the roof to cover this deck is going to be ridiculously more expensive than I had anticipated - thinking about it now I probably should have got a quote for the roof before hand - not that it would have stopped us buying the property but it just would have prepared me for when we got a proper quote to get it done ! It's a big deck so I knew it was going to be expensive, I just didn't realise exactly how expensive.
I know that I am hanging out for the end of today.
I know that there have only been 5 days in this work week but it feels like there have been a gazillion, or at least 8 days, since last weekend.
I know that I will just blink my eyes and Monday will be here again.
I know that I feel sorry for A having to work again this weekend.
I know that he is frustrated at not being able to get stuck into what needs to be done around the house and garden.
I know that I am hanging out for next Friday even more than I am hanging out for this Friday to finish - and that is because, from next Friday we are on leave for 2 weeks ! YAY
I know that I am looking forward to 4 days in Melbourne.
I know that I am looking forward to 2 games at MCG.
Have the BEST weekend !
What do you know this week ?
Have you joined in with Ann ?
What are you waiting for ?
TFTD : I will accept everything I am, and everything I am not.
What a glorious view to wake up to! Does it feel weird to have just moved in and then going away for a break? It's been a rough week for you, so I am happy for you that it's finally Friday :-)

It probably will feel strange - it still feels strange driving that way to get home every day !!!!
ReplyDeleteWe were supposed to be in Perth now on holiday - organised before we sold our house - then when we got a contract on our house, we canned the holiday to Perth because there was no point in going all that way for 4 days but we could make it to Melbourne for 4 days and catch 2 footy games while we were there - bonus !! So that is how it came about - am wondering how K will manage in the house by herself for 4 days given we are on a much bigger property and our neighbours aren't as close anymore.
Have the best weekend !

Love that view! And yes adding a roof over a deck can be expensive. But it will add lasting value to the house and create an addition room outdoors. You have so many things to look forward to. I can't believe how fast each week seems to fly by and I still can't believe we are in April. I hope you have a great weekend. x
ReplyDeleteFor sure it will add heaps of value and so much more entertaining / outdoor area. I'm with you on how the weeks are flying by - before you know it you'll be Mom to three !!!!
DeleteTake care of yourself and have a great weekend !
Me
Thank you so much for linking up, I know how busy you are!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving your view, I would love to wake up to that!!
Enjoy Melbourne!!
Don't stress you will get everything finished eventually!!
I know we will get it done - I just don't have a lot of patience !!!!!!
DeleteThanks for hosting - have the best week.
Me xox
Unfortunately it's always more money than you think for structural things around the home - we have had that experience before ourselves. Enjoy your time in Melbourne!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirsty. Yes, isn't it amazing - no matter how much money you think something will cost - it always seems to cost more ?
DeleteHave a great day !
Me
ohhh I coulda come to Perth to meet you too….bugga.
ReplyDeleteThose views are great, and the added extra space once its covered in will be a bonus, and if you are like us it will be the most used place in the house….
I will definitely let you know when we are going to be there and hopefully we can arrange a great blogging meet-up.
DeleteAbsolutely once the roof is on the outside will be utilised so much more than it is now - it's just too hot out there during the day even though we are in autumn !!!
Have a wonderful week.

Have a great time in Melbourne! Where are your happy #? I went looking and couldn't find them. Great deck with or without a cover!
ReplyDeleteLOL not sure where you are looking - it's on twitter not instagram - BB don't like Instagram (or is it the other way around ????) Can't wait for Melbourne - while I would like 4 days of relaxing, in theory it will be 4 days of rushing around like headless chooks trying to do and see as much as possible in as short as possible time !!
DeleteHave a good one !
Me
Wow, that view is divine. Our wonderful bush outlook was a deciding factor in buying our house and we are so grateful for it.
ReplyDeleteIsn't a great view amazing !!! I know it's still early days for us but I just love sitting and looking out over the deck and having my breakfast in the morning (or any other time of the day for that matter !!!)
DeleteHave a wonderful week.
Me
I know that I am in love with your view so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThank you and me too !!! I love just sitting either inside or outside and looking at the view - I haven't got bored with it yet.
DeleteHave the best week !
Me
That view is amazing! What a way to start each day looking at that. Enjoy your time in Melbourne!
ReplyDeleteMelbourne! Well isn't that just lovely. Hope our weather behaves itself - two games at the MCG? Who are you going to see? Have a great time, drink lots of great coffee and make sure you get to some fab restaurants xx
ReplyDeleteThat view is incredible! We moved into our new place three weeks ago too! (I didn't have to go through the stess of buying and selling though - just renting). Hope you have the best time in Melbourne.xxx
