MORE TWEAKING

 


Poor Stew.

After dinner last night I had a 'small' job for him.

I wanted him to dig up a shrub we had growing on the back fence line, and put it in that 'gap' by the pool fence.

We can, (and did), put anther plant there, as it won't grow big like the other one.  It's trunk and branches would never support the weight of a climbing child.

ABOVE:  Now it looks good again, much better than the two tomato plants in pots that's for sure.


ABOVE: We put the tomato plants where the shrub was, and the chooks too.

I'm really happy I got that sorted, as we have a private viewing of the house tomorrow.

After that private viewing, we will be having a break until January the 5th, when we will have our first Open Home of 2025.


ABOVE:  Maggie, this is the fan we bought.  I would say it is no better or worse than 'other' fans, except that it runs on power or battery.  It is quite powerful on it's highest setting, which would be perfect outside on a hot day.

ABOVE:   OMG I did it!  15 Christmas Presents wrapped, and only 3 left to go.  I have to do a wee bit more shopping to finish them off, then I will be DONE.
Worst job ever invented.

I have done Fabric Christmas Bags before, whoever asked about that the other day.  I have no idea what happened to them.  Probably went home with people, never to be seen again.

I could have done that this year, but I put it in the can't be arsed bucket. 

It is now 11.30 am, and I am thinking of heading off to the shops to find those last three gifts.

ABOVE: And here I sit, down the road, waiting for a private viewing to be over.
I got 20 minutes notice they were coming through!
Luckily, all my hard work every morning pays off sometimes.  The house was ready for showing in ten minutes flat.
And thank god I'd finished wrapping the Christmas presents, and everything was away again.  
I doubt they are our buyers ... they only stayed 10 minutes.  If you are really keen, you stay longer usually.
Now my head is pounding, and I need to just chill out for a while.

    I detest wrapping presents. It takes almost all of the fun out of xmas. I am pretty much done with mine but I need a gift bag. Good luck with the viewing! Ky Girl
