Drove up in the ute again (am becoming very fond of this trusty and very useful ute) - as I was going to pick up the vanity from Terry's place, and I also brought up the bath (which had been languishing in our garage for years) and the 2 chairs which we had bought from Joels (didn't win the Victorian sofa though which is what Justin really wanted)
Anyway, Fraser and Justin strapped in the bath on Thursday night, and we parked the ute in the back, and then Fraser strapped in the chairs for me on Friday morning before I left - which was great - as I had thought I might take them up next time in the passat
Cam's crew was still there when I arrived, and they helped me in with the bath - put it on top of our bed (right side up, as it was pretty dusty inside).
Also saw that there was a hole in the side. Contacted George, and he said it was for the overflow pipe - will have to get one of those
Had a look around at the progress
The bathroom/en suite door was filled in
Lyndon was putting up the frame for the powder room
\
They'd filled in the brick cracks in the back hall (that we were going to use the hesbia system on)
The sub floor for the bathroom was in
And the kitchen insulation was done in the ceiling
Kat had also boncreted all the bricks in the kitchen - so as to minimise dust - yay
I had a quick lunch - and then went to Michelle's to have my haircut at 2.45
After this I called up Damo, to see if I could come to the Surf Club for a pre dinner drink. Also needed to give him back his ties (which he'd used on the jacobbean suite a few weeks ago) and I had also bought some white anchovies for them -as we had discussed them at dinner last week
Arrived at the "surf club" after 5 - my first time as a proper guest, as opposed to a tourist
Damo gave me a couple of beers and we "shot the breeze". The last photo is me crushing a can in the home made device. Nicole came and stayed for a little while, but then went off to Arleen and David's
Stayed an hour or 2, and then back home for some dinner, and watched the final Stranger Things - season 4
Saturday, and did wordle, quordle and the age Sudoku in bed before getting up for breakfast. Watered the poor citrus plants, and went and picked up Terry at 11.30
Loaded up the vanity and dropped it back at the house. Was a lot easier/smoother than getting it there in the first place
And then we drove into Bridgewater - for lunch at the pub
It was a lovely day, and we sat outside in the beer garden. Had a few starter plates ie Pork belly bau buns, baked chorizo with jalapeno aioli, and chicken and mushroom spring rolls.
The food was very good, and it was very pleasant sitting outside looking out onto the green grass, gum trees, and river.
So, had a leisurely lunch, and then dropped Terry back at his place
Went and relaxed in the hammock, put my feet up and read my book
Tidied up a bit here - and put out the old kitchen chairs and the little cabinet for Anne L. Couldn't manage the table by myself though
