Right now I am all cleaned out. We have spent the day finishing off loads of half finished projects, so we have filled holes, painted walls, chopped up trees, cleared the garden and cleaned the house from top to bottom. I take great pleasure in cleaning bits of the house that were clearly never touched by the previous occupants. I have gone through many cleaning wipes and I look forward to enjoying sitting down and admiring my nice clean house.
Today we are feeling very proud of ourselves. We have ordered our first compost bin to recycle all our kitchen waste from here. Apparently it takes 6-12 months to turn into something good enough to actually use…. I’ll have to make sure I don’t get bored trudging to the bottom of the garden with my vegetable peelings and egg shells!
Robin finally put the washing line up so at last we can hang the washing out. This is a good thing and was one of the reasons we wanted a house with a garden.
This is the poor hedgehog we found underneath our rotten old shed. We deposited him in the park at Ally Pally this evening. Robin spent the day pulling down the old shed and rotten tree with the help of some friends. Now we are left with a(nother) big pile of garden rubbish to burn - then we can finally start planning the new garden 
I received my first swap today - all the way from Tasmania! The package was great, lots of stickers, a cute bookmark and notepad. I’ve sent three swaps off to my partners around the world. I hope they like them.
Hooray, almost the end of my first day being 30. I had lots of presents including a nice new handbag and necklace. I had lunch with my workmates and saw Spamalot this evening. Exhausting.
