Laying it down

So back on the Queen's birthday long weekend in June, Dustin worked very hard to put down the flooring we've had for a long long time now, waiting for the time when we could install it!

But he spent all three days, getting in into the laundry room, the bathroom, the hallway the kitchen and the dining room!

One day when everything is tidy, we'll make a point to take some nice photos for before and after shots!



We were definitely happy to cover up the speckled floor from the 60's that we'd been living with for many months after pulling up the linoleum that was there. Then we even got carpet installed in the lounge so things are really coming together!! Yay!

So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...) "Are you sure? I think it will take me too long to bike because I
