Ben 10 and Aliens
Hello,
Today whizzed by. Our tasks for the next couple of days are to varnish and oil the front and rear decks and clean the windows. I started off the washing of the front deck which Susan took over "because you are much better at cleaning the windows than me" I think I got conned there.
Whilst the deal here is we do 4 hours each per day for room and board we have been doing extra so we can have full days off. We were offered one today but declined since we didn't have anything planned. Susan washed the front and rear decks and I completed about 75% of the windows. The ones behind the screens have to be removed to be cleaned which is fairly straightforward. Great working conditions I am cleaning windows weather is glorious, gentle breeze blowing and a view over the valley and the forest.
We watched an interesting program on ABC tonight Making Australia Happy When it comes to explaining happiness 50% is down to genetics, 10% life circumstances such as material possessions and 40% by the life choices we make. Food for thought.
I have started reading the Hawke Memoirs also an interesting read.
Goodnight...
......POSTSCRIPT
Staying here is preparing me for time with granddaughter Abella when we get home in a few weeks. I am practicing carrying a 20kg parcel - in the form of 17 month old Ben - so that I will be in good shape for similar exercise at home. By then Steph will be ready to deliver the new bub and Abella will no doubt want lots of attention.
I am also having fun playing with 4 year old Alex and have learnt all about Ben 10 a current cartoon character.
Simon neglected to mention it was washing day..... ahh the excitement!
Cheers
