I did really well last night with the table top:
It's getting there! Bloody hard yakka though! It was probably a rather large first project ... but I am loving it. It's hard on the hands too... they are really dry and feel ikky.
Not sure what's on the agenda today, maybe that drive around the coast I mentioned yesterday, dunno! But you can be sure I will have a nice day, I usually do now! Being all together again is so nice.... even if Stew's farts nearly kill me! ha ha ha.
TODAY :
We drove to Clevedon, where they have a weekend market....
Where we bought some home made jams and a water feature thingee,
Then we went a bit further along the road to the coast, to a place called Kawakawa Bay....
Where Brylee and Griffin got wet, and Stew and I got eaten to death by sandflies...
Then we headed even further around the coast road to a Place called Kaiaua where the kids got to play on this....
AWESOME PLAYGROUND, and Stew and I gathered rocks for the water feature to go in the garden.....
The kids playing in the playground.....
Teddy 'posing' by the seaside! LOL
This is a log I parked me bum on by the beach, I thought it looks quite neat.
After all that we continued all the way around and back to Auckland... a lovely day trip!
NOW? relax till dinnertime! ....
End of Day: fed the family, worked on the mosaic some more.. now off to bed. It's been a long but lovely day. nite nite.
