There's absolutely NO jobs needing doing around here.
So, we have decided to go out to The Trade Depot and look at Vanities and Showers. We are going to re-do the bathroom in our new home, so we might as well do our 'homework' on what we want now, while we have nothing else to do.
I wouldn't mind looking at lights too, I want a really nice light for hanging over the dining table.
So, window shopping it is.
This afternoon we are going to a little gathering at our new village, so a chance to meet a few of our new neighbours. It's bloody neat how they are already including us in the village activities.
I think I forgot to mention we have already been to a function there? A couple of weeks ago, we went to an evening event. It was quite nice.
*CONTENT EDITED OUT *
Back to today, we won't be spending very long at the village this afternoon, as we have Steve, Bex and the kids coming over for dinner.
I better find a big stick to beat the hussies off with before we go eh? lol
Time to go... catch ya later.
Small change of plans for this afternoon. We won't be going to the village get together. Stew thinks we should just do one or the other, so we choose our family dinner. There will be plenty of time to get to know our new neighbors later on.
Contrary to popular belief, we did not buy anything today. It really was just window shopping.
We have sussed out the shower and vanity we will get.
We have checked out racks for the garage (for storage purposes), grabbed some groceries for this evening's dinner, and come home.
ABOVE: When we arrived home from our window shopping, Coco did this. She's never done that before (the excessive sneezing). We thought it was possibly a reaction to one of the medications? I was going to take her back to the Vet tomorrow.
BUT JUST NOW... Stew went to give her a love, and he noticed a green bit of grass jutting out of her nose! He pulled it, and out came this really LOOOOOOOONG piece of grass!
OMG that is why she was sneezing, not because of new medication.
We both just laughed and laughed.
And I bet Coco is feeling 100% better already.
Why didn't we think to check her nose? Derrr.
Brylee and Dom called in for a visit this afternoon, before they took off on a hike up some mountain. Crazy buggers.
Then Steve, Bex and their kids arrived for dinner.
I cooked nacho mince and we all had it with Pita Pockets and nacho chips, sour cream and grated cheese. Followed by Ice Creams.
A lovely dinner.
It's now late and I'm off to bed, just a bit earlier than my 'norm'.
Coco has had no 'episodes' since we sorted out the sneezing problem! Thank goodness.
It is really cool they're including you guys already... makes transition easy peasy. But yes, might need to get a big stick for Stew the Stud Muffin 🤣
If you put a hanging light over the dining table you will be restricted (in a smaller home) from moving the furniture around. Don't be too hard on the ladies at your new village as these are the people you want to be friends with (and I am sure Stew is old enough to realise what is going on!). Audrey
Lol sounds like my dad. He was a chicken magnet. Took him 1/2 hour to get out of church because of the hugs. Bit hard when both dad and the ladies had walkers lol.
OMG. I would NOT have thought to check her nose! Thank goodness Stew noticed it. I wonder how that happened? Like really.... The logistics of a little dog inhaling a piece of grass so it comes out her nose?
I can already see that this move to the village will be quite interesting and FULL of NEW STORIES. Good stories... Let's write a sitcom about it! I bet it has potential. Good thing you have this BLOG to use as a Diary. Better start coming up with an alias for the new neighbors right now. I suspect you are gonna need it!
Haha I laughed about the village single? or otherwise ladies. You’ll sort them out Chris lol I believe there is quite the pecking order in some of those villages - the sticky beaks, gossip mongers, rumour mongers etc etc but also there will be absolutely delightful people who you will meet and become friends with. Take things slowly and play your cards close to your chest. I’m sure you and Stew will make a lovely new life together.
Parents to several adult kids, and 14 Grandkids (aged 1yr old to 24 yrs old).
