\"ISIQ-0586\"<\/p>\n

“There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.” – Charles Dickens<\/strong><\/p>\n

After six hours in the car, three and a half hours re-designing and taping-out our floorplan, and many discussions with my wife and at least two furious discussions with our bus builder, I collapsed into bed.<\/p>\n

That was my yesterday.<\/p>\n

My original plans included going to the Caravan show at Penrith, followed by some time with my family in the afternoon for Fun Family Friday, and a catchup with my good mates for dinner\/drinks. And then the bus emergency struck. A short 6 hour round trip to Newcastle, things got (somewhat) resolved.<\/p>\n

I was up again at 5am today, sending finalised plans to the builder and getting out to do a delivery for a friend before trying to play catchup on yesterday’s camping show reccy.<\/p>\n

Argh.<\/p>\n

I realised about an hour ago that I forgot – in all that – to send my daily IQ.<\/p>\n

So there’s my simple truth. Emergencies struck.<\/p>\n

I hope you are well. I have recovered. Just. ;)<\/p>\n

With love,
\nIsrael. xo<\/p>\n

PS To those of you who have built a house, or renovated, or remodelled, or something? I salute you. I’m working with about 28 square metres of space, and it’s killing me. A whole house? You must be joking.<\/p>\n
