REPLACING THE LIGHTS AND A 60 YEAR MODEL.

MY HOUSE HAD SOME VERY STRANGE LIGHT FITTINGS, I THING THEY WERE ALL REPLACED IN THE 60'S THEY WERE A BIT ODD BUT I NEVER GOT ROUND TO CHANGING THEM BUT WHEN MY SON WAS DOING HIS RENOVATIONS HE REPLACED ALL HIS  LIGHT FITTINGS SO HE GAVE THEM TO ME, THEY FIT THE PERIOD OF MY PLACE. THIS ONE I WANT TO REPLACE WITH  THE SHADE IN THE NEXT PICTURE. 

SO THATS ALL READY TO BE PUT UP NOW.

THESE ARE THE GLASS SHADES ON ANOTHER ONE,  I THINK THEY ARE VERY PRETTY BUT THERE ARE FIVE OF THEM IN ONE FITTING, TOO MUCH  LIGHT SO THEY ARE VASES AT THE MOMENT TO HOLD FAKE FLOWERS YOU CAN'T USE REAL ONES BECAUSE THEY DON'T HOLD WATER. 

I MADE THIS IT'S A BIT ODD TOO BUT IT GOES WITH THE CURTAINS.

AND I MADE THIS ONE TOO, IT DOESN'T GO WITH ANYTHING BUT GIVE A NICE BLUE GLOW WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. 

THIS ONE IS VERY ODD BUT I LIKE IT.

THESE ARE THE OTHER THREE, MAYBE I COULD PUT CANDLES IN THEM.

THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WHEN AL TOGETHER.

THIS ONE WAS REPLACED A FEW WEEKS BACK.

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THIS ANY IDEAS.

THIS IS THE 60 YEAR MODEL IN A BEST AND LESS CATALOGUE I GOT IN THE MAIL TODAY, I THINK SHE LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.
WE HAVE JUST STARTED GETTING FATTER PEOPLE AS MODELS AND NOW OLDER ONES IT'S ABOUT TIME  AS WE DO ALL COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES AND AGES AND IF THEY GO FOR FAT OLD MODELS I CAN SIGN UP.  

I DO THINK THIS IS A CREATION AND A HALF WHAT DO YOU THINK.

Toadstools and cats

MORE RAIN BUT NOT SO MUCH THIS TIME, WE ARE HAVING A WEEK OF SUNSHINE OR SO THE WEATHER BUREAU HAS PROMISED, THE DARTS MOST HAVE LANDED ON FINE THIS WEEK BUT IT'S LOOKING GOOD SO FAR.

SO I'M TAKING PICTURES OF MY LITTLE TOADS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR, THE SUN KILLS THEM QUICK SMART.

OUR LITTLE STRAY HAS HAD US GUESSING NOBODY WAS SURE OF HER SEX, SHE HAS BEEN WITH US 8MONTHS NOW AND NO ONE HAS GOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO TELL BUT SHE WAS UP A TREE THE OTHER DAY SO WE HUNG AROUND FOR A BIT AND DISCOVERED SHE A HE. MY FOUR CATS ARE ALL GIRLS BUT THEY ARE ALL DESEXED SO NOT A PROBLEM.

HE IS A PRETTY BOY AND THE EYE MAKE UP IS LOVELY.

KIDNEY NOT TOO SURE ON HER FEET SHE IS GETTING OLD NOW.

OH BUGGER IT I WANT SOLID GROUND AGAIN.

THATS BETTER.

COME ON MUM MAKE THE BED SO I CAN SETTLE DOWN FOR THE MORNING NAP.

GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE.

I NEED MORE DRAGONS THIS ONE GUARDS THE SPARE BED AND THE CATS DON'T LIKE HIM SO THEY STAY AWAY.

LOOK AT THAT SUNSHINE NOT SEEN THAT FOR A WHILE.

MY LITTLE TREES THE BANANA BENDERS DELIVERED HAVE PICKED UP, I WAS WORRIED THEY WOULD FEEL THE COLD TO MUCH, THEY WERE LOOKING A BIT SICK A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MUM. IF YOU ARE TAKING PHOTO WE WILL BE IN THEM JUST SHOW MY BEST SIDE, IN KIDNEYS CASE IT'S HER TAIL.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE THIS POOR FELLOW GOT SUNBURNT HE LIKES THE SHADE BUT I DIDN'T THINK A BIT OF SUN WOULD HURT HIM AS IT IS NOT VERY STRONG THIS TIME OF YEAR I WAS WRONG SO HE IS BACK IN THE SHADE NOW.

A COUPLE DAYS OF RENOVATING

IT'S BEEN A BUSY WEEK, THE BANANA BENDERS HAVE BEEN DOWN ALL WEEK AND TRYING TO GET AS MUCH DONE IN THEIR HOUSE DOWN HERE SO THEY CAN RENT IT OUT, I LIKE THESE WINDOWS BUT THEY ARE FALLING APART SO THEY ARE REPLACING THEM, THESE ARE GOING TO A NEW HOME DOWN ON A FARM. A FRIEND OF OURS WILL REPAIR THEM AND REUSE THEM, THEY ARE LOVELY WITH MORNING SUN SHINING, THIS IS AFTERNOON SO THE SUN IS IN THE WRONG PLACE TO SHOW THEM IN THE BEST LIGHT.

THE FIREPLACES ARE PRETTY GOOD TOO, THIS PHOTO NOT SO GOOD.   

THIS IS MY LIGHT NOW, NOTICE ALL THE WALLS AND CEILINGS ARE WOOD STRIPS AND WERE LETTING IN THE COLD SO THEY HAVE REPLACED ALL THE WALLS WITH PLASTERBOARD.

IT'S A DOUBLE FIREPLACE THIS IS THE OTHER SIDE.

THE BACK YARD HAD NOT BEEN MOWED FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND WE HAD SO MUCH RAIN EVERYTHING HAS GONE WILD, MAINLY THE GRASS.

WE KNOW NO ONE IN THE AREA BUT IT TOOK THE BEER FAIR ABOUT 10 MTS TO FIND A BLOKE TO GOSSIP WITH, MEN THEY ARE CHATTY THINGS. 

HE HAS A YUCCA SO I WILL KEEP A EYE ON IT TO SEE IF IT FLOWERS.

I LIKE HIS ENTRANCE, MY SON BUILT THIS COVERED GATE BUT ITS NOT A VERY GOOD PICTURE.

THERE WAS 21 SHEETS OF THIS STUFF AND IT WAS HEAVY, I WAS FEELING MY AGE BY THE TIME WE WERE FINISHED CARRYING.IT INT THE HOUSE. 

MOST OF THE WALLS WERE UP IN A DAY AND THEY STARTED ON THE CEILING THIS IS A PLASTER BOARD LIFTER AND IT MAKE THE JOB MUCH EASIER.

YOU LOAD IT UP .

AND TURN THE WHEEL AND UP IT GOES.

IT WAS VERY DUSTY SO I ENDED UP OUT IN THE GARDEN PULLING OUT WEEDS AND A GENERAL TIDY UP.

THE BEER FAIRY CAME OUT TO TAKE  A FEW SHOTS OF ME WORKING, SAYS IT RARE, HE 'S A BIT OF A SMART ARSE.
