I got up and was at the desk around 7.45. I set to work, I had lots to do. We saw the girls off to school, Jessica drove them as it was pouring down outside. I had morning meetings, did some of my work, I paired with Jemma, I met with Kristy, I had another meeting. I had lunch and then moved beds, I hurt my forehead, got a bump and bruise to show for it. I got back to work and frantically tried to finish all the things. I got most of it done. I wrapped up after 8h of work. We had afternoon tea. After fika we cleaned more of the house. I made dinner. After dinner Bryan came over to mind the kids while Jessica and I drove to the airport. It was raining, really quite heavy. We had plenty of time so it didn't matter as such. We arrived in good time. At the airport the plan was "arrving in 30min" for about an hour. All up they were delayed by an hour and a half, but they did touch down in the end which was god. We met parents and drove home and had cup of tea. We got to bed around 1:30. It took a while to go to sleep.

I got up at abut 7.20 and got to work as I knew I had an early day today. I had many many reviews to do, and I did not do them. My last days before leave has been focused on other things. We had morning meeting and then it was time to work on my stuff. I had lunch with Jessica and Scout and then went for a walk in the light rain. I returned to work for a short meeting and then continued my actual work. I wrapped up work after 7h30m and walked down and picked up Frida. It was raining so we walked home in the rain. Evie was at a friend's place today so Frida and I had fika alone at home. Jessica and the girls came home and we got dinner started, I helped Evie make space in her wardrobe and then had a shower. After dinner it was normal evening routine.

I got up and was at the desk around 7.30. I had a truckload of things to do so I got started. We saw the kids off for school and then it was meetings for me. I had morning meeting, then one other meeting. I had a bit of a gap, I then met with Swedes for a little bit. I had lunch went for a walk. I came back and met with Milly. I then had a brief moment for my work before I met with Sam. I then had a meeting with Sarah and Martin. From there it was a mad rush to get as much as possible out before I wrap up for the day. I wrapped up shortly after 15.30 having done a smidgen more than 8h of work. We had afternoon tea, I then went for a walk and spoke to Buzz on the way. I came back and helped with dinner. After dinner it was pretty normal evening routine. Last minute things that need to be done.

I woke up pretty early and so was at the desk around 7.30. I had lots to do, short week and last week. I set to work pretty much right away. We saw the kids off for school, early day for Frida as it was Band today. I had morning meetings. After that I worked on my thing for a bit. I had lunch and walked while talking to Paul. I came back and had a 1:1 with Yinran, but it started late as we had arborists out to give us an idea for some of our trees. I went back inside and had my meeting. I then met Ben for a bit and finished my day, almost, by meeting with Jemma. I did some work on my own thing, and then went and made tea. I did not manage to finish the tea before I had to walk down to pick up Frida. I attended a meeting on the way down taking my day total to 8h40m. Frida and I walked home. At home it was pretty much a rush to get everyone ready for the evening. Jessica dropped the big two off for music night, and then came home and soon enough the rest of us left. We attended Music Night at Blaxland High. It was good. We came home around 21.30. We had a compressed normal evening routine before bed.

I woke up with the alarm but it felt good to just turn it off and ignore it. I got up around 8.30. We had breakfast and then got started. We had morning tea and then got laundry going and general work happening. Before lunch we went up to Blaxland t see the state of Vinnies, it was closed despite their website saying it would be open. We came home and had lunch. After lunch I cleaned more blind while Jessica pressure cleaned outside. With both chores done we drove to Penrith and shopped for dinner as well as a few other bits and pieces. We also had fika while out. We came home and had a bit of a rest. We made dinner. After dinner we were done for the day and did not do anything more, just normal evening routine.

We slept to about 8 today. Frida was up early wanting to search for eggs. We got up shortly after. When I got up all eggs were found and we had breakfast. After breakfast we wandered over to granny with a fresh cake and had morning tea. Back home again I went out and continued my stump removal. I stopped when battery ran out and came in for lunch. After lunch I went out again and completed the job. After that I got the pressure cleaner out and cleaned bricks. I came in and we had fika. After fika I cleaned a blind. With that done it was dinner making time. Jessica made dinner while I did other bits and pieces. We had dinner and then it was pretty normal evening routine until bed.

We got up around 8 or so today and had breakfast. After breakfast we all went out to Penrith to get some plants. While out we had morning tea. Back home again I dug out around a stump in preparation. We had lunch. After lunch I got the chainsaw out and started working on the stump. It took me most of the afternoon to cut it down further. We had afternoon tea. After fika I did some more work on that. I also tried to drill new holes in it but ran out of charge in the drill. I mowed a bit and rested. I came in and showered. After showering and shaving it was dinner making time and parents talking time. After the call it was normal evening routine.

We came home and hung laundry, inside as it was supposed to be rainy today. We spent the day tidying up, cleaning and otherwise making the house more presentable. I spent a good bit of time outside putting mesh around the compost to prevent vermin from getting in, again. We had lunch. After lunch it was more laundry and more of the same. I baked a cake for afternoon tea. After fika Sofia and I went to Blaxland to buy some things we were missing. We came home and we made dinner. We had pizza made in the pizza oven, they were quite nice. After dinner it was normal evening routine.

I had lunch with Jessica (and Sofia, who came home from school). Jessica and I then went for a walk. Back home again it was more meetings for me.
