A great hive of activity here yesterday. Bill even swept the concrete after the boys had gone home.
And this morning they arrived at 7 ready for another big day.
However, we had 22mm of glorious rain here last night and after only 20 minutes of work, it looked like this..........
....so they abandoned tools and headed off and will return on Monday. Way too muddy, sticky, dirty and dangerous with electrical equipment.
Note... The little pile of off cuts you can see behind the blue ladder are left overs that Bill has been eyeing off!!! to go in his shed !!!! to do who knows what!!!
Our little willy wagtail family have also abandoned their building plans! It must have been too noisy/busy for them and they've set up in front of the granny flat instead. We miss them flitting around out there.
We visited a floor showroom in Glen Iris yesterday. We are planning to have a timber floor in our new room so we have brought home some reading material to mull over.
We think we may choose wormy chestnut!!!
It's a mix of all sorts of timber from the forests of south eastern Victoria. The timber has often been affected by fire, drought and insect attack and therefore has beetle marks, pin holes, squiggly worm marks and deep red veins caused by fire.
Perfect!!!( got to love that name too!)
On the way home we called in at my favourite shop and I bought this teapot with it's lid missing for $8.
I went outside with my big umbrella when we got home ( so that I wouldn't get swooped) and picked another bunch of freesias to put in it.
The teapot has a pretty pattern around the rim.
And a bunch of white artificial tulips for $10.
This is the view from our kitchen window this afternoon ..... raindrops and all.
Tonight we are having salmon parcels with lemon and rosemary......
....so I'd better get cracking seeing I'm supposed to be cooking.
Hope you all got some rain last night too.
