Well after the hectic day yesterday, i managed to fall asleep in front of the TV, it was worse here than in the UK!
I left Tim to it as he was on the PC messing around looking at bikes i think! ?
I was sound asleep and did not hear the dogs stir much to Tims annoyance as he had to get up and let them out for wee wees 3 times!
I woke at 6.45 am and got up as i have been sleeping in until 8am and then getting up with a headache for sleeping in too long!
Tim put some pictures of the pool up and we are going to take some pictures of the surrounding area so you can see where we are as google earth is not so great in Hervey bay.
I hope you all managed to eat loads and fall asleep on the sofa before the end of the really nice film you wanted to watch! :)
The dogs were leaping about like a pair of frogs so i went out in the garden with them and started watering the plants and tiding up the flower beds pulling out weeds, sorting out bits form the pool etc for an hour or so. Then i decided that i was hungry as we had only eaten once yesterday (even though it was tons!) so i sat down and had some yoghurt and fruit for brekkie. Tim woke up and surfaced looking like he had drunk all the xmas drink!
We spent the whole day sorting out the garden and the house, as i forgot to tell you all some of our chattels arrived from the UK on Thursday morning, there should have been 132 boxes but we only got 88. Which was really upsetting as most of the stuff we wanted was in the 40 boxes that were not here! We think they might still be in the UK!!
So since Thursday we have been unpacking boxes and checking every thing as you have only 7 days to report anything broken or missing! The quarantine guys went through everything opening boxes, but nothing seemed to be missing, but then again with 90 boxes how would you know until you think about using something and its not there!?
So we have my work books which is a relief, and Tims and a few other bits and pieces to make the house look more homely :)
We have been sorting out the rooms with great fervour and managed to open all but a few boxes on the Wednesday to check them all , only three things broken, but they were mine in the first two boxes i opened and i was getting upset at the way the guys had packed my books just squidging them in to any space creasing them up and bending them beyond straightening! So from joy to tears in one day.
We tried to find out what had happened to the last 40 boxes but as it was so close to Xmas no one was really interested!
Today we had very humid weather and we were both dripping just sorting out things, i was grumpy as i get too hot and cant cope as i just want to sleep or go in the pool! But finally after the obligatory shop at bunnings (Tim was having withdrawal symptoms) we got home with more work to do on the house! Then it poured with rain and the water butt Tim had put up was pouring water everywhere! So we were emptying it all over the place and still it was filling up! But messing about in the rain was quite refreshing (i am sure the neighbours think we are nuts!), so we have decided that we need a bigger butt (no jokes about how we could use mine!) so that is the next task to get one that holds at least 2000 gal of rain water!
It is still grey and has got dark quick today but it is quite a nice relief from the hot weather, everyone local is saying how this is the mildest weather they have had at Xmas for a long time!! (thank goodness is all i can say!)
The dogs are now living out side as we have decided that it is better for us, it is warm and they have places to go to keep cool! So the dogs will now be outdoor living!! Roxy is not quite sure what is going on and keeps looking longinly at the back door to come in. But they have their beds and it is quite safe out there away from anything nasty. Strange how it makes us feel terrible, but all the dogs out here live out side and most of the Ozzys think we are mad letting them inside!!?? We shall see if we can stick it out, as it feels all wrong! :(
But today they were both playing in the sand pit and got themselves filthy and covered in sand everywhere! all mixed nicely with slobber and goo! Then came into the house after i had cleaned it and shook it all off over everywhere! That, together with Tim getting up 3 times last night we thought that we would try it!
Gulp! i will have to put my hard face on :(
I am signing off now as i need to do some more work in the house
big love to all
