We're going to re-construct parts of our house this year and the coming year, starting with the windows this month. We finally know when they will do it, which will October 13 to 16. So while we're at home during the day, we're sleeping and eating at a hotel https://www.hoteldenhaag.nl/kamers-suites/luxe-kamer-kingsize-balkon/ . Absolutely not looking forward to having a whole construction crew in my house, but grateful for the opportunity my husband pampered me with to stay in a hotel during the worst of it (he allowes me to stay in the hotel most of the time 🥰) . I feel very blessed!

Next year the walls will have a make-over, and after that the kitchen. Now that part I AM looking forward to, as he will let me design it!

We want pictures :)
Before & after and of the hotel of course
 
My "TV" is whatever app is on the phone and some don't let you pause the commercials but they will tell you how long they are. The other night I had 3 minutes to burn and overheard an add saying Gusto TV was celebrating some Latin countries whatever holiday and they proceeded to list countries. I heard Venezuela and perked up since karadekoolaid is there and he offers up some cool dishes. I downloaded the app and it's pretty good. I'm not wanting to run out of lunch ideas for the Groomer Girls and this app will help.

Check it out. 👍

One time when I was visiting my dad and was making my bed, I accidentally kicked the old cast iron bed frame they had. OMG, my big toe, second and third turned red, my forefoot swelled, and I could barely walk. My stepmom's PA niece thought bones were broken it looked so bad and sent me for x-rays. No bones broken, just massive soft tissue damage. 💩 happens.

From the chooks point of view, it makes life easier because they now lock up after evening meal, but for the next couple of weeks, getting up at 6am is back to before sunrise.

I don't mind it, I understand why it is done and it definitely makes a difference. 1,000km North of here doesn't do it, so Queensland although in the same longitudinal lines as we are, will now be an hour behind (my university is in Qld).

And obviously the further south (in my case) or better stayed the further from the equator, the greater the affect is.
