ANOTHER SHOPPING DAY

While out shopping at SPOTLIGHT, Lachlan (the party animal) and Corey decided they'd try on a few hats and glasses. I, as usual, had my camera in my bag so snapped a few photos.

HOLIDAY TO ADELAIDE AND GLENELG

On 28th August, 2011 John and I flew to Adelaide where we'd booked into a lovely big hotel overlooking the beach at Glenelg - The Stamford Grand. It was lovely and we were really pleased with our room and the balcony which we hadn't expected to have. We hadn't been to Glenelg for about 27 years and noticed a lot of changes but it still has so much for visitors to enjoy. Each morning, we went down for a buffet breakfast in the Promenade Restaurant - what a feast was laid on every day. We made the most of it, as you do, which meant we were never hungry at lunch time. I can't think of anything they'd forgotten from what was on offer and the service was impeccable. Each and every member of staff we encountered were so helpful and really looked as if they enjoyed their job. The view from our balcony was lovely. The Jetty used to be so much longer with an aquarium and salt water swimming enclosure as part of it but in 1948 there was a freak hurrica...

INCY-WINCY SPIDER

Hello, this is my first Blog.......until a few months ago, I'd never even heard the term so this is all very new to me. It's still very summery here in Victoria, Australia where I live even though the calender tells us it's now autumn. Last night, this is what we had on the wall of our house, a large huntsman spider - thank goodness it decided not to make it's way indoors or the family would have left in a real hurry. The Commonwealth Games finishes on the weekend but it's been a great time for Melbourne with lots going on in and around the city. As a Scot by birth, it was great to see the Scottish team in their kilts and even better to see them winning so many medals.

WHO NEEDS A BRICKLAYER

My latest project has been fun and very rewarding. If a grandmother can build a retaining wall with this system, anyone can. No mortar needed, just a bit of muscle power to lift each block into place - they're very heavy. I now have muscles I didn't have before!!! If you can get the first course straight and level, you're on your way. I started off with a string line and a spirit level but eventually just did it by eye as that seemed to work best for me. Once my arms have recovered from all the heavy lifting, I'll remove the shrubs that are behind the wall now and put in top soil to bring the garden beds up to the level of the top of the wall then I'll plant it out. Right now, I'm enjoying just looking at what I've done - the rest can be completed once I've recovered. - HAPPY EASTER -
