how was your weekend?

It's the question I ask / I get asked every Monday morning.

Short answer:

Great, got lots done around the house.

Long answer:

Up early on Saturday morning, had breakfast and put on a load of washing. Picked up wacker packer from the hire place (for more paving preparation) and stopped in at Bunnings for some supplies. Back home, hung out washing and set up high pressure hose. Lifted and cleaned 200 pavers. Lunch. Back to cleaning pavers, wrists and back starting to hurt, 400 stacked and ready to be laid. Pulled in washing. Went inside to get cleaned up for dinner out. Home by 9:30pm, got to bed early like an absolute nanna.

Sunday morning up and 2 loads of washing on. Raced to get last bits of crushed concrete packed before returning to hire place. Hung out washing. Start laying pavers (please note, this is my first attempt at it), realised I was paving askew, have to pull up 50 pavers and start on string line again. Lunch. Finish pavers, sigh of relief. Help cut small pieces to pavers to finish front path, looking awesome. Inside to clean up, vacuum house, wash up and mop floors. Am so stuffed, am writing this blog in slow motion. Ordered in dinner and collapsed on couch.

...so how was your weekend?
