Nov 9 - 15: Demolition Zone

2008.11.09
Nov 9: Did a book reading at the Mill Point Book Caffe today and got a great response. Yeee-haaaa!

Nov 10: On the eve of daughter #1's 20th birthday we had a crew around for a BBQ. Didn't get a word in!

Nov 11: The Little Star LOVES Blaze. She goes into gales of giggles when she sees him. So she really loved the chance to get up close and personal this afternoon during a play session.

Nov 12: Gavstar spent the afternoon removing the last bits and pieces worth salvaging from the old house. He brought along his trusty supervisor to oversee operations.

Nov 13: At freaking last! The demolition is imminent!

Nov 14: What a thrill to see the Margaret River Bookshop window chockas with my book!

Nov 15: The Little Star flew like a natural in her first flight to the farm.

.
After 22 months of drawing plans, waiting, submitting plans, waiting, revising plans, waiting waiting waiting, a dream came true this week -- the "Demolition Zone" sign was put up outside the old house.

Also a day that Gavstar has been waiting nine months for -- the day he could fly his Little Star to the farm. She handled it with aplomb.

This week I learned:

* Offer a freebie to an audience and they'll all line up;
* It's not just daughter #1 that can talk underwater -- it's ALL teenagers;
* Babies think dogs are HILARIOUS;
* It's never too early to start safety officer training;
* Good things come to those who harass the city council;
* Seeing a window full of one's book is like being hit by a thunderbolt;
* Act like everything's normal, babies follow suit.
