day 34

Woke up (semi) early and made Isaac come for a run with me to Rainbow Park. Didn’t stop, definitely better than the first run I did here 

Tried to facetime my uni pals but I got the time difference wrong and missed the call, so had to wait for them to have their dinners. But it was so nice to speak to them, miss them all lots. It does make me think maybe I should start adult-ing a bit better soon

Cancelled our flights to Costa Rica. Getting a refund which is good but am still sad, would much rather be seeing Ni and Will

Isaac‘s working on the van, he’s re-cutting the doorskin stencils onto some old plywood, before doing the final cut on the nice wood. Cabinetry seems hard, lots of awkward scribing. I stencilled the stencils onto the nice wood. Isaac taught me how to use a grinder (the tool not app)

We cut the mattress so it would fit into the frame and scored the back so it folds into a sofa. Might try and make some pillows from the foam off cut? The walls are a bit curved and not that comfy to lean up against, could be good for a lil lower back rest. This is good, I have some real jobs to do now

Putting the mattress in has made me v excited. I can’t wait to drive off and live in our own little van world (left it pretty late to say, but the van’s name’s Flora. Life is slowly creeping back into the old girl. It now seems wrong not to call her by the name Georgia and I gave her with last summer)

Did a quick yoga on the porch, then went to Nesters to get the last bits for dinner. Made the vegan mushroom pasta thing (Chlo) and I think it’s the best its ever turned out. One pot cooking is the way forward I tell ya. The others are watching Star Wars, but I don’t really know whats going on. Bed time
