Concertina Child

         

Concentrating on 

repeated images,

slight variations in colour

and 

concertina folds.

Shaping Up

The deck is coming along

with the roof going on in sweltering 45 deg heat through the week.

Just a good paint and a few trims and she should

look like she's always been part of the house.

Now we just need a reliable concreter to move on with the next stage

of building underneath the house.

We thought we had that all sorted, but the world of tradespeople is a fickle place.

Astro Boy

Super cool Astro Boy vinyl figurine

recently received as a gift

from my two lovely daughters.

Makes me happy :)

Stands about 30cm tall.

First Post for 2013 (after a brief blogging hiatus)

Hello dear blogger friends and a Happy New Year to you for 2013.

I am afraid I have been in a bit of a blogging funk of late 

and have not been posting due to frustration with being unable to alter

some very annoying elements of the look of my blog.

Anyone who has visited recently may have been faced with

being unable to read information on my site due to some

awful default colours which I just could not remove/change, no matter how hard I have tried.

I seem to have got MOST of these horrid colours off my blog for now

and hopefully things are a little easier on the eye.

Apologies for the state of things lately.

The installation of our deck is coming along fairly smoothly.

There was a delay with the roof going on, so alas no roof for Xmas.

The old verandah roof is still being held up by temporary posts,

but this old roof will be coming off soon and things will be moving along now that 

the Xmas/New Year holiday period is, alas, over.

Lots of work to be done yet, but we have managed to make

some cosy corners in which to enjoy a good book through the holiday lull

and the house is already much more livable .
