February 2025
February was of course
dominated by the announcement above!
Although we’ve known for a while, it’s considered to be “bad form”
to make any sort of formal announcement until after the first trimester
is achieved. That’s happened, the
tests have been completed and all is well! We don’t know gender yet, but we are
very excited. It meant
cancellation of our holiday, which we had booked for just that time, but
that’s a tiny price to pay.
We spent most of the month
re-doing the utility room. We
needed to fit a new, larger freezer and to do that we had to take down a
wall cupboard ... and to do that we had to install a new base cupboard
which we had to make room for and to do that we had to stack the drier
onto the washing machine. And that
needed quite a lot of plumbing mods. And we did all that during the month. All very satisfying.
Ian did his Morse code and
is now up to a reliable 18CPM which is equivalent to 6WPM (Farnsworth),
Rx and Tx.
Those who know what that means, know! He is absolutely delighted with that and
is now plucking up the courage to go on the air with it. He’s also been very busy with being the
RSGB British Science Week (BSW) co-ordinator which, in the lead-up to BSW
next month, is quite heavy.
Weather-wise, the first
part of the month has been grey and dreary with a lot of rain and it’s been
cold too. The last week, though,
has been absolutely lovely with lots of sunshine (and therefore a lot more
solar power than we’d expected at this time of year).
So all in all it’s been a
busy but very satisfying month.
