Evening folks,
The days are rocketing by! The word Christmas entered our planning vocabulary today. As did the phrase next week. That is about as far as either of them progressed in the process.
Today's tasks. Susan continued on despidering outside of the house. I painstakingly measured, remeasured and measured again the dimensions for 2 replacement verandah poles. Since they cost $50 each messing them up was not an option. They were both cut to length and the cut outs made for the rails to rest on the top. I think they are right with the proof of the pudding being in the fitting. This is part of the extension of the deck project. Susan started the process of painting them.
After lunch I vacuumed out the back of the house and Susan pulled weeds until the skies grew dark and the heavens opened with lightning, thunder, rain and hail. This signalled the end of activities and we pottered for the rest of the afternoon as the rain swept through. The dogs do not enjoy the thunder and big tough Doogan is a nervous wreck.
Tea tonight was a magnificent piece of fish cooked in foil with herbs. Dessert was banana splits.
Living here is like living in a 5 star restaurant. After tea we watched the spectacular that is Cirque du Soleil on the big screen.
That's about all for today. My tick bites are itching nicely! Good old Itch Eze Plus helps.
cheers Simon
