Jill and Gerard's Seachange

The Ultimate view

The day today has gone by so quickly, but the ultimate was for me my morning walk, although I did not really feel like going as I just wanted to sleep!! But I went up and around the hill, I was disappointed at first no sign of the swans and their young ones, just some hungry seagulls and a larger gull, got a great photo of it!!! What good is that cause I don't know how to get it to you!!!! We moved on a bit further, that is Milly and I and I saw one swan family near by, took some pics and then saw more in the distance, also the larger family were close by, took more pics while Milly squirmed under my knees as she wanted to chase them all. Got talking to a regular lady walking by with her dog "Tara" who we see every day having her walk past our house and Tara's mum was the one practicing her golf the other day. Well Milly got quite aggressive with Tara and Tara bowled her Mum over!!! boy what a fright, anyway she picked herself up o.k. so hopefully she will not be too sore tomorrow! Heading back and also at the end of the walking track I looked over at the swamp area and noticed a swan family!!!!!!!! yay!!!, I hurried home with Milly and got Gerard to come with me through the long grass and came face to face with Mum, Dad and 6 little'uns. Just gorgeous, of course they wanted to leave, but had to go past me to leave the swamp area. Boy was I rapt!!!! Got a lovely pic, would love to show you!!! No time at the moment to try posting again now as it is past midnight.

Took Mum into Bairnsdale today to look for a blouse to go under her pant suit to wear to Laurens wedding in October and also found some shoes for her. Gosh she has lost so much weight no fat on her at all, so skinny! I also found a lovely bright coloured shirt, but unfortunately it was not "big" enough for me and they do not stock any larger sizes "DAMN" I could have spent a fortune in that shop there and then if only I was 2 sizes smaller!! Oh well look at it this way, I saved heaps of money.....

Have spent the evening sanding off all the little stoppers that go on the handles for my printers shelves all 40 of them and also the name plates, just need to straighten a few. Now on to the drawers to get the Marveer on all over and clean out the small partitions.

Am having someone out from Spotlight on Friday to give a measure and quote for some of the windows in the house.

Morgan the kitchen man is supposed to come by tomorrow, Wednesday to finish installing the kitchen, while Gerard and I put down the new carpet for the Purple Palace. Oh by the way it is Purple!!!!! It will be a lot of work, taking everything out and putting down the carpet and then bringing all the stuff back in, but will be worth it.

Also Pat the painter called by to see if we had decided on a colour for the inside of the house. He plans to start painting in the first week of October, only two weeks away, so he is going to have a plasterer call by to give us a quote on finishing off the plastering and where the electrician left holes from the old lights!

So things are starting to happen again. Can't wait til it is all done.

Well I am off to bed as it is past midnight and am feeling weary!

Night night for now

luv Jill
