House update and poor excuses

The brick work is almost finished and we are very happy with how it is looking so far. This week the walls inside the house should be started and the doors will be put on the outside - then we won't be able to go inside the house when it is all locked up. It will be very strange and I expect annoying too that we will not be able to see how it is going inside. We are so used to be able to walk all through the house (and through the walls before the bricks went up).
Well, it has been too long since I have written on here and I must apologise sincerely to everyone who has been checking for updates over the last couple of weeks only to be disapopinted - in fact, I would understand totally if no-one reads this until an email is sent to announce its publication on the site. Things have been even busier than usual over the last few weeks. We are trying to get some jobs done around the house that need doing before we move in - this mostly involves a lot of digging and moving of dirt. On top of this there are two major festivals in Adelaide at the moment so there is a lot to see and do. If you are not familiar with the Adelaide festivals please visit www.adelaidefringe.com.au to get an idea of the events that are happening. Check out the "Garden of Unearthly Delight" - it is such a fun place to spend time at night. There will be more posts about our festival experiences in the coming days (weeks or months should probably be inserted as the time counter here). They announced that the Fringe festival will become an annual event (before it was every two years) so anyone thinking of visiting us (this is particularly addressed to our friends in Japan) -late February / early March should be a really good time to experience Adelaide - and the weather is perfect at this time of year too.
Don't forget there is plenty of room for people to stay at our home - it has been designed with 4 bedrooms so that our out-of-town friends can visit in comfort ............hint, hint, hint : )
