MORE PROGRESS TODAY

Well... today Stew is going to work on tidying up around the pool... putting pavers from the new fence down to the pool gate and a few other things.

Meanwhile, I will get the housework done.  Washing out, bit of dusting, bla bla bla.

Then I can 'supervise' Stew outside!  lol

4 years ago when we were looking for a home here in Hamilton (but ended up in Cambridge), I drove past a home that was clearly a 'leaky' home.  It looked really sad.

And I just noticed it again... cos it's just down the road (not on our road).  

ABOVE:  Now it looks ten times worse!  This house looks like it's still occupied too.  OMG ... it must be so damp in there.  Poor bastards.
I can't believe it's still standing actually.  It has big cracks in the walls!
THIS is why so many people won't buy a plaster home, and why it took us so long to sell our's up in Auckland.

Lesson learnt though.  Brick and tile every time from now on!  NOT that I want to move again.  I'm so happy here.

Griffin is moving home today.  Let's hope that goes well and he sorts his life out.

And on that note, I'm off to get some washing on.

ONWARD...

We went out and bought a couple of plants for the big gap over by the pool.
Now Stew is putting some succulents we already had in those two pots by the BBQ table.
Then he's going to move the fruit trees and boronia, so we can put the trailer back by the new fence, instead of in front of the Studio.

And it's another scorching hot day.  I can't bear to be outside.

12.36:  Got the trailer moved.  Got plants/pots sorted out.  All down to Stew.
I just feel sick if I go outside for too long.


ABOVE:  Potting.  Getting little jobs done.

Ages ago I was given a bike to use by my Uncle.  I used it a few times, then Brylee used it for ages to get to school and work.
Then it got no use once she got a car. ... of course!

So, today I decided to put a 'FREE' sign on it and put it out on our grass verge.

And within 10 minutes... this happened:

ABOVE:  I watched a car drive by, swing around, out jumped the boy and off went the bike!  Yes!  Paying it Forward.

Nice feeling.

I cooked a pork stir fry for dinner.  It was revolting!  No marinade or flavour in it... first ikkk meal in quite a while.  The only nice part was the onion rings I baked in the oven.

I doubt much else will happen this evening... so I'm signing off early.
Catch ya tomorrow.  
I will be blogging ... even when hardly anyone pops in to say 'Hi'.
