Yesterday we heard from Powerco that it would cost $2,500 to supply gas to our home. It didn't take a very long discussion to agree that we would stay with electricity for the kitchen. We will advertise for sale the stove fitted for natural gas that we had purchased. Today we are going in to town to look at ovens and cooktops. I'm leaning towards a ( Read more... ) -
Sky pics for Zhenzhi
I haven't posted for a while, I've been tired and just vegging out. Today I had a busy day, and dashed into town to place an order for the range hood, and check out kitchen floor coverings again. I also went to K&D for paint sample cards, where I bought a stunning new variety of Italian Lavender with huge purple flags. As it was a perfect early ( Read more... ) -
Exhausted!
I've needed to go out every day this week, and I can barely drag myself around. Today I have the washing to catch up with, and then hopefully tomorrow I can veg out. I've purchased the leather cleaner and hope to test it today on a small area of leather to see if it is OK. If it doesn't affect the colour of the leather I can see I will get carried ( Read more... ) -

We picked up the dining table and chairs this morning. My brother Nick said the timber in the table top was worth more than the $120 I paid for the table and 4 chairs; hardwood and at least an inch thick. The table is very nice, and a simple design. The chairs need work; they are the type with about 6 upright pieces of timber held together by a ( Read more... ) -
Busy, busy....
I've had a busy time lately. Apart from sharing Les's latest virus I've been organising the final stages of the new kitchen, which I'm assured is now being prepared, and should be completed by Nov. 4th, hopefully allowing plenty of time for delivery and installation. Les will be back from Thailand on November 25th. I can now give my thoughts to ( Read more... ) -
Kitchen Plan
I received the kitchen plan last Friday, and hoped to study it over the weekend, but life got in the way. I finally went through it on Monday afternoon, and decided on a few changes. These will cost a little extra. I emailed the company, and also advised the model numbers of all the appliances. Their reply today indicated that they were unaware ( Read more... ) -
The preparation of the kitchen plan
is progressing slowly. Yesterday I had an email with the plan attached, which of course wouldn't open on my Mac. I had asked for it to be mailed to me. I then had to ring interstate and ask again! I now wait with bated breath until next week. I have to thoroughly check the plan and approve it before work starts on the cabinets. In spite of this ( Read more... ) -
Progress!
After 5 weeks the torn abdominal muscle is healing and I am able to sleep in bed again. I'm feeling less tired as a result, although the itch of the eczema still forces me out of bed in the early hours. I've stopped using the hydro-cortisone cream as it seems to be causing an allergic reaction. After consulting with Dr. Zain I was able to cancel ( Read more... ) -
Visit to GP
This morning I went to see my GP. As it was a lovely spring morning I took the camera with me. The magnolia and camellia are in neighbour's gardens, that I passed on my way to the bus stop.

More of the Melbourne trip.
On the Sunday evening Mark's former wife Rose and his son Luke came for dinner. It was lovely to see Rose, as it must be about 10 years since we last met. It was good to hear about her family and how they are getting on. I'm really impressed that Mark, Rose and Lindy can be friendly; it's not always that easy to do, although the marriage was ( Read more... )
