As my mum said, it's better to have a gap than not come back to this at all because how much I've missed.
So what's been going on?! Mainly the work on the garden/mancave.
On the Saturday which is where I think I left off before, me and Ant woke up thinking we'd just do some more bits on the garden and it wouldn't be too bad.
Well as we literally sat our bums down on the chairs in the kitchen to eat our bacon sarnies and have a coffee, the door went.
So here's the pic I took 2 seconds before the following pic! We had to move all of these materials from the drive, through the house and into the garage/mancave, eeeek.
It was a bit daunting.
We quickly ate our sarnies and go to work! It was honestly about 30 degrees.. so hot.
Things were heavy, oddly shaped and slippery. So some were seriously hard to manoeuvre through the house.
Our neighbour, Joy, came out and gave us loads of support at different points, bringing us ice water (which was seriously needed) and a spray bottle to cool us down. She's lovely.
We took many breaks as it really was hard work.
Look at the best 'tan' I'll ever have too!
To be honest, we weirdly.. enjoyed it. We had such a laugh with each other and it was exercise so I guess you do feel good don't you? I burnt over 1000 calories (I turned my watch onto exercise and paused in the breaks).
We took a little break to the skip.. we realised it was getting late and we needed to do 2 trips so it was a mad rush but we managed it! Again it was a lot of effort, as it was heavy garden stuff.
Then we got back and tackled the hardest bit which was carrying the OSB which is thin wood slab things! I dunno.. but they were long because you had to do 1 at a time between 2.. there was about 70!
We finally showered and got changed.. we planned to go to the local-ish pub which is really nice and food is amazing.
Antony made us walk.. I wasn't too happy about this as I was knackered from the days work! So was he.. it was a regretted decision. So we stopped to get a drink half way.
We finally got there and had way way too much food.. got an uber home (thank fk).
We got home and did our usual sit on the floor with a kit each and speak to them as they're our babies, haha.
Sleep time finally!
