BACK YARD

 Today we are working on the back yard. 

Ripping down the posts, concrete edging etc.

We might have a big load ready for the dump by tomorrow.

I will make sure Stew paces himself, it's going to be a stinking hot day.

My arm is still sore, so there might not be much I can do to help, but I'll do my best.

I'm going to get out there soon, while it's still not too hot.

Catch ya later.

ABOVE:  Stew mocked me last night.

I had said I didn't want to 'clutter up' this bench top, many times.

Now I've cluttered it up.

WHOOPS. 

But it's so pretty!

12.56 pm:  Been a busy morning.

Stew went down to the supermarket to do 'his' normal weekly shop.  Mostly snacks, diet coke and personal toiletries.

Then once he was home I went down to Nick Scali and paid the balance of our new lounge suite, as it is supposed to arrive at the end of the week.

Then I've been fluffing around in the house, just doing the washing etc.

Stew is out in the yard.  Luckily we have some cloud cover today.

ABOVE:  He is taking down that section of fencing.  Then ripping up the grapevine, concrete edging and all the stones.  Grass is going there instead.

ABOVE:  Of course, when I suggest these things, I think it's a simple job!  Yeah right.  Poor man is going to take days to get it all done, even with my minimal help.

We will lose about two shrubs.  One tall tree is staying and having grass around it.

3 pm:  And Stew's been digging, chopping and clearing for about 3 hours.  He's finally stopped for the day.

SBB's came over for a swim and chat.  

ABOVE: 4 shrubs ended up getting removed.  One tall tree got to stay as it will look lovely with lawn around it.

ABOVE:  Just the old posts and wooden edging to remove from the old trellis now.  There's quite a bit more to do, but we can pace it out over 2-3 weekends if necessary.

Dinner tonight is going to be something simple... just not sure what yet.

Won't have to cook tomorrow.... Yaaaa!

Steve is doing Lasagne for all of us.

All the green netting that was on the trellis got balled up and put in a cardboard box out on the grass verge with FREE written on the box.

Went in minutes.  BOOM.  Good deed done for the day.

11 pm:  a bit late.... but here it is.  It's been a quiet evening.  We had an easy dinner, just meats, coleslaw etc on buns.

Watched some TV.  YouTube etc.  Time for bed.

Catch ya tomorrow.
