This is a simple and very short post. Three years ago today, demolition began on the other side of the highway from us.
It started a period of disruption, stress, and constant disturbance that's continued pretty much unabated since then. Almost every goalpost in our lives slid away to the sidelines.
- There was months of demolition noise
- then a new landlord
- then months of repairs to the house
- and also moving major things here and there to allow the block split
- then the second house works out in the new split
- then construction began across the highway
- then more repairs to the house
And in between there were other minor things like - oh, you know, cataract surgery, bladder cancer resection, oh yes and the pandemic, and various other health issues and then COVID - if anyone deserves to win a huge Lotto prize and go on a six month holiday it's us...
But also we've become a lot more resilient, slightly crazier, and - with any luck - the last big disruptions will end with this year 2023 and then things will return to just our normal chaos.
Peace out...
