This morning was exciting, as we discovered that we had access to the back yard. Although there is still a lot of cleaning up and filling in of trenches to be done the job is virtually completed. We both feel so happy that we will soon have our home and yard to ourselves, and that there will be NO MESS! Also, Les found that his tax refund had gone ( Read more... ) -

We went off to the supermarket today to stock on some things we needed, including icecream. It was a cold morning with the thickest fog we have had this winter, so waiting around for buses wasn't a great deal of fun.

Fortunately we don't use that access very often. Still to come is the extension of the ditch out to the street, and then, finally, across the rear of the ( Read more... ) -

Trip to the Blue Mountains
I managed to escape from steamy Sydney one day and take the train to Katoomba. I have a friend living there and arranged to meet up with her for lunch. I only just managed to catch the train, as even though I had allowed adequate time, or so I thought, by the time I limped through from the Eastern Suburbs line, quite a long walk, then went to the ( Read more... )
