Day 199: Wagons roll

Here's Exile #4 and Exile #3 outside a furniture store a few days ago. We've just found out that our next instalment of ordered furniture arrives on Wednesday. I think we will have two more deliveries after that. Hopefully the rest will be small take-home-on-the-day items. The house is really feeling like home now despite the makeshift nature of some of the furnishings - it's good to be settling in properly to life here.

Today was a day of odd-jobs:

• Downstairs 'bathroom' door - locks.
• Blinds in guest bedroom - fitted.
• Master bedroom door - now closes.
• Master bedroom closet door - now closes.
• Door to third bedroom - now closes.

Not a bad haul for one day.

It's funny the things that you find out when writing a numbered-day blog. E5N1 is 111 days old today. How many parents have marked that landmark the third time around I wonder? It also means that he has been 'out' for significantly more of the Exile than the 88 days he was 'in'. Time has really flown.
