Update on the house renovation and Angus comes to visit.

The tenants are moving in in fact they have except the people, the bathroom is having some problems.

But not a lot to do just fiddly things.

The bath didn't set so here is the son mixing a new batch of cement to have another go at it.
Not a lot of garden left but these are doing well.
and so it the ginger they thrive on no water or any attention, this is not eating ginger.
The bath sits on a bed of cement.

This is the strip drain in the shower, I think it's great you wouldn't notice it if you didn't know it was there.
the bath getting ready to be bedded.
the loo window, I glad he kept this he will paint it, but I do think a opening window in the loo is kind of important.  
The bath with it's weights.
New power switches
the floor has lots of dust but it's japan black when clean.
New doors and handles.
The view from the side windows, well thats as far as he has got with the renovations at this stage.

 There was a heavy fog this morning but I'm out of town a bit so not so bad at our place.
 I've been doing some improvements in the top garden.
 this part's not done yet .
 my poor herbs all finished will have to replant.
 This is my latest garden creation will show you when I've finished, not sure what it is yet.
 Angus is visiting for a week his people are on holidays visiting the maybe in laws.


 No problems with the cats, they were here when he was a puppy and lived here and he knows they are to be ignored and respected but Drummy is another story, Angus hasn't had anything to do with a strange hen who thinks she is boss so they have some time together and some apart.
For some reason this photo has come up last it's the second loo at my son and daughter in laws house as you will notice this window doesn't open so you don't use this one if you have been eating something that doesn't agree with you.

A week in the sun and a catch up.

The new bathroom in my son and daughter in law's house, they took a few more photos
but they all came out sideways or were so dark I couldn't make them out, almost finished just taps and vanity to go in now.






I was given this fellow from them, he is a beauty but will put him away on a softer spot in the garden as he will break if knocked over here.

And this vase which is now inside as it is a thinner china and will break very easily.

 I went shopping with my friend after bingo on Monday, this material is most likely going to be a new quilt cover or maybe curtains or maybe I will cover the small lounge with it, I just liked it but not sure what to do with it yet.
 All those bit of material in the cupboard beside the books are all bits I liked but didn't know what to do with, a weakness of mine.


 Just a few garden photos in case you forgot what it was like and with days like this I'm outside most of the day, if this is Winter, Summer this year will be hell.


 Poor herbs, all pretty much new ones will be planted this year.
 The jasman is flowering only a month early but the spring is very early this year, we are already had a few bush fires on the outskirts of Sydney let hope it's a wet spring as the winter has been so dry bush fires will be very bad this year.


 This was a lovely red sunset the other night but by the time I got the camera it had started to expand and lose colour but it was still pretty.
 The other morning I sat outside with the twins to have coffee, they have a meet and greet every morning.  
Firstly they ignore each other.
 This lasts for a few moments, then a bit of a chat.
 Then a spot of grooming.

A kiss or two to finish.
Well that was my week .
I've had lots of trouble with my computer this week, it's very slow and played up a bit so I've not been on it so much so you will have to excuse me if I've not visited so much, I thought it needed a bit of a holiday.
