MORE COLOUR!

Yesterday we bought a new clock for the lounge... it's a 'Haw Coo' clock! Sounds weird eh? Instead of a Coo Coo Clock with a bird coming out on the hour, ours' has a donkey!
I thought this was totally appropriate seeing as we have a donkey across the way who hee haws sometimes!

OUR 'HAW COO' CLOCK


Also yesterday I found this really cute little plaque for the lounge too:

It has a 'nautical' theme too.


ABOVE: from this angle the lounge finally has some colour....

ABOVE: from this angle... it does not. I am not sure if I need to make new cushions or not... I might just get a colourful picture at some stage. Maybe I can even paint it in the Art Course I am starting soon!

Today ... no plans as yet, maybe just lazing at home for a change.

ABOVE: a quick movie of the clock in action.

Stinking hot day... lay in the sun ... and the paddle pool.. sooo hot we just couldn't do anything. Really don't have much else to report so...

End of Day: a blissful weekend ... did lots of NOTHING. Kids are already moaning about having to go back to school tomorrow. Poor little buggers are probably going to melt in their classrooms. nite nite.

  9. LOL on the clock. It would probably drive me nuts after awhile though! My dad used to have a cookoo clock and my oldest would always run to see it when it started going off.

  12. Your house looks really cool, I like the fish above the TV.
    The clock is very cool too! Here we have chickens and roosters running around and I am becoming able to identify the rooster by his cock-a-doodle-doo!

  13. Oooohhh ... love the clock. Infact goggled it, and saw you can get other animals in them too - but sadly, I couldn't find any on NZ websites. I reckon my brother would love one of these for his next birthday present. Can you let me know (please!!) where you got it from and approximate cost. I'll be up in Auckland mid- year for a conference but could perhaps get a friend to get me one before then. I also love the candles - very nice! :))
