MORE PHOTOS OF ME HOUSE ....

BELOW: The dining 'room'... one end of the lounge really.

BELOW: The Lounge:




The following three photos are of the Kitchen / Family Room:






OK, that's enough of me house... what 's on today?

- Kids to school, yep just like 'normal' isn't it??? LOL

- Try to get into the garage today to do some sorting... I really don't know where to start !
- I have a man coming to fix one of the Dish Drawers (dishwasher)... the account goes to the previous owners of the house.... as arranged.

That's about all.... it really is so much fun having lots to do! I am busy and happy.... and still plowing through all the blog entries I have missed! Starting to see an end to catching up....

UMMMMM.... I did buy something else yesterday! A gift for Stew for Father's Day! Well.... OK.... I fell in love with it so bought it....Stew likes it though! I will put a photo up in a mo.....

There he is... a Blue Glass Gecko! He's by the front door... and he's beautiful.

So far this morning I've managed to find all the linen and blankets and sort out the two linen cupboards... I'm darn wrapt with how much room I've got! Photos tomorrow! (bet ya can't wait!) lol
I also had a visit from my Aunty up the road, who came to see the glass doors with the frosted decals on them.... I did this to stop us just walking into them when they are closed! You simply couldn't tell if they were open or not otherwise! SEE?....

I think they make the door look nicer somehow.
Right ... more stuff to do....

This afternoon has been busy:

- unpacked almost all of the pictures... have to find walls for some of them now (can't fit them all up!)

- Electrician arrived and fixed the dishwasher - and showed me how to use it properly... nice man.

- Visited by our immediate neighbour with TWO BOTTLES OF WINE! As an apology for their burglar alarm going off constantly all day while we were moving in (they were on holiday). How nice. Funnily enough her husband is a 'Stew' too... AND he loves bloody rugby! No doubt they will become firm friends.

- Griffin lost another tooth, he lost one on Saturday too, so he's looking rather 'gappy':


And YES, he has a grubby face too.... I so couldn't be bothered washing it. Derrrrrrr.

End of Day: wooooo hoooo I got done all I wanted to today! The linen all put away and all the pictures unwrapped ... THAT was a mission! The packers sure wrapped the pictures up well.. it took me all darn afternoon to get them open. Tomorrow's task will be to think about where to put them!

NSV: I am feeling great! Getting lots of exercise, not overeating and being quite good! nite nite.

  12. Great pics. Decals look great. Our sliding doors all have hexagon shapes on them to warn people they're about to walk thru glass. A factory addition I believe. Is that an Aussie tv program on the telly?

  19. Your house looks great! I love that recessed lighting. Re. lynda's comment: I'm guessing the decals say "Don't walk into the door you crackhead" in Chinese.

    Griffin is such a cutie!!
