life is good

After doing the food shoping this morning, and cutting the back lawn after lunch, the afternoon was complete with a dip in the pool, beer on the deck, and prawns for dinner.

lovely.

Australia Day

Happy wet Australia Day...

HOT!

Apparently today is the hottest day of the year (so far - not that difficult given it is still January, and there is still a month of Summer to go!)

Alas it is HOT - so hot that the metal stair rail outside the back door - which doesn't get ANY sun, feels a little too hot to touch.

So hot that I offered to do the shopping - so I could be in an air conditioned mall

So hot that I've taken the side of this PC before it shuts down.

So hot that we can line dry clothes in the play/sun room!

Its hot!

(ok - so it's nice when it is warm, but today is just taking the micky!)

And their off

Bye to the first set of rellies...

(next set due 6th Feb)

mmm -toasty

it is /very/ warm - just waiting for the thunderstorm to break...

Demolition of Number 3 has finally started

Joy - the (partial) demolition of Number 3 (next door) has finally started, at 7am this morning. Power tools at 7.30am, and a JCB arrived (with a large lorry) at about 8am.

Acutally, I say 'finally started' - they actually started taking the roof down on Saturday, continuing to work past the midday cutoff....

happy new year etc

This year we spent the evening at Bradfield Park, underneath the north side of the harbour bridge to wait for and watch the 9pm Family Fireworks.

Happy new year etc to all.
