What did Sweden do?

I have just had my bi-annual stop being a slacker, or I will be disappointed in you pep talk, which I always enjoy on the back of whatever life-crisis has precipitated it. The upshot being that I’m supposed to be working. In reality I’m going to the gym a lot and trying to think of things to claim I have been doing when boss gets back from a conference tomorrow.

Pity? lol.

Typical Saturday morning in ralph-land:

wake up at 5:30

do dishes or laundry or whatever until 7am

go to dump, go to farm to pick-up produce, go grocery shopping.

back home around 10.

work with brian until 7 or 8 in the evening.

eat something (if I'm feeling up to making it)

go to bed.

wake up the next day. pretty much repeat the process.

It's definitely healthy that you always make sure to fit a bowel movement into your Saturday morning ralph, but did you really have to let everyone know about it?

That's a grueling schedule, for sure. Still, at least you and Brian can unwind with a few lengths in the swimming pool at the end of the day.

Healthy? That's the only one I take each week. [Frown]

Not that kind of a dump you moron. The kind where you take your trash and recycleables and such.

I like to think of Brian and Ralph working out on some barbells in their newly built garage.

You don't want to be flouncing in your new garage, ralph. That's bending talk.

Are you sure that's a garage? I thought it was the moose stable. If ralph's collection of cars are going to go in the stable, where is the moose going to swim and bounce?

I've been reading the Little House On The Prairie series of books to the boys recently and we're up to On The Banks Of Plum Creek now. They're so jammy. They live in a dugout house! I want a dugout house. The way it's described is just like this:

 -

...which doesn't look all that comfy actually, but in France they have troglodyte houses in some places still, where most the house is a cave, but with a nice sensible front door and windows and a front garden. I want one of those too. I bet Gordon Brown's introduced a law against it though, to protect Bruttun and Bruttush Vullues.

You're going to need some pretty tall chairs to reach those outdoor tables, ralph.

Otherwise, 9/10.

Oh goody! I thought you had had time off to work on the house. At least I hoped so.

It's looking good. All that room.

Heh. It's really Brian you want. I'm just dumb labor -- he's the brains behind the whole operation.

So far we've spent just over $30,000(US) to get us to this point. Just a few hundred $ over budget. Not bad.

That's just the building. We had already bought the land.

Essentially, it's been 30,000 to go from this:
