stunning critter...

"my girl" the light of my life :*



Tash at her finest!!

us....yup...we're idiots! ha ha

thought i'd put a pic up of Damian and I from time to time ....oh dear.... :-)

the price of beauty....

here's some pics of the car pre paint and in bits...sigh...it looks so bad at the moment and i think to myself what have we done....but i reassure myself that it's going to look and sound a million bucks when it's done...

learning to drive

tash having a driving lesson in the carpark at work, i had my hand poised over the handbrake....just in case O.O

PS
this isn't the monaro, it's the terribly practical wagon :)

our monaro

our new car - cv8 monaro....now in a million bits being resprayed and rebuilt as a show car O.O

weekend whirlwind

how fast do the weekends fly by...seriously! we moved boulders most of the day at damian's parents place and built a stone bridge so the tractor can cross the gully - not a huge bridge but still very heavy going regardless. the photo doesn't really do the size of it justice, the bridge is deep and wide enough to hold the weight of the tractor without sinking!...we are pretty chuffed with our work - Yipyar!

then off to the dayboro show on saturday arvo with tash for a sideshow alley ride or two and some games and really bad food (dagwood dogs) Aine had most of mine so she was a happy wolfhound!

sunday we broke out the bbq despite the threatening rain and had a great lunch with my folks and damian's, then a walk around the property, some heavy drinking in the arvo with a movie then bed. aine is still really tired this morning, she's getting old (for a wolfhound) and had to take a break in the middle of her brekky, the poor old chook - as we left for work today she was still getting solar powered on the veranda *.*

that's the condensed version, i'm at work rebuilding computers (mini industrial players) and have to run....

more later

peep-ers

i'm now bespectacled...due to longsightedness (is that a word?). i like my new specs...mum unsurprisingly wasn't fussed cos both pairs are black...that amuses me no end, seriously was i ever going to get any other colour!! but from a purely vain perspective i think they're cool and so does damian and tash...and even better - i can see normally again - YIPYAR!

.....con't

an old house or shed on the edge of this would be unreal

somerset area late '07

i love this place in all kinds of weather...mostly tho when it's drizzly or foggy and cold

friday on my mind

at last it's friday...it's been a big week, we've spread ourselves thin between work and family...end of financial year and school holidays...oh the horror!!

i'm looking forward to doing a bit of cleaning up this weekend and doing some painting...actually i think it'll turn out that Damian will do most of the cleaning, and i'll make a mess painting.

we moved into my (late) uncle's old farmhouse last year and we've been doing a little bit of renovation, just when time permits and nothing mind boggling. we ripped out the old kitchen and put in one from ikea, stainless steel bench top and black laminate cupboards under, way cool! i love ikea's modular furniture...we painted the walls and put up timber blinds and that's about it so far...we're down to painting the laundry/toilet and bathroom....the laundry is my mission tomorrow...hopefully i might have a little helper too (tash) that's if she's not off with Aine making mischief.

then i'm hoping for a bbq dinner and some wine or rum or something else to make me squiffy...

sunday remains unplanned so far, maybe it'll be a clean up day or maybe/hopefully we'll go for a drive....i'd like to go to somerset dam again...haven't been in ages and it's full now. it's also been drizzly this week and if it on sunday then i might get some nice foggy photos aaahhhhh

off to think about a packed lunch for sunday.....
