I always thought that the Sabbath day was for resting. Wrong! Today we have been working on the building site ie the new house. Mick helped Vylic to level the floor in the garage ready for concreting so the house can be made secure when all the windows are in. There is a space between the garage and the fence which gives access to any undesirables so Karen and I carried some of the spare bricks and stacked them in the space to block it off. These bricks were not...

Nothing to report today except a lovely Chinese lunch in Bunbury after going to the new house again to do some measuring. The photo is of an Australian plant that is widespread in parts of the country. It was called a 'Blackboy' but that is now not politically correct. So the name has been changed to Grass Tree!!

Across the road are the sand dunes and then the sea which today was like a millpond and many shades of blue. If it was my house I would never tire of the view. It was much hotter today than it has been lately and Perth was supposed to be 41C and I think here it was probably 38C. This means being inside with ...

I think this week will be just relaxing in Busselton with the rellies! Mick is helping Maureen and Vylic with organising and ordering things for the house. So there might not be anything to report. This morning we went for coffee and cakes with some friends of Maureen. This afternoon Maureen and I went to a new shop that has opened in Busselton. It was wonderful and I was in my element. There was a wonderful array of craft items including loads of material. I b...
