The Hedges are in the front…
And the treads and risers are being installed!
I was hoping to get the treads done so we could plant lawn in Sept, but i cant see us making it in time…
Jammy likes sleeping on clothes that are freshly out of the tumble dryer…
The cats have been very cute lately… Some random pics!
The Kitchenette is coming along. Last weekend we got the pizza cooker and microwave cabinet made and mounted. This weekend we got the oven mounted and wired up 
First thing done in there is a puff pastry pizza!
Tomorrow night, Roast!
That looks so delectable! Well done! Share the goodies! =) =) =)

I’d like to add for the record that I didn’t get ANY of the delicious looking puff pastry pizza, it was all gone by the time i got home, apparently Andy tried to leave some for me but it was getting soft so he ‘had’ to eat it. A likely story…

Believe it or not, we have been in Ermington for 1 whole year! Time flies when your having fun.
We went out to our local to celebrate. Twas nice
The plans for year two:
And Hopefully…
and maybe even get the bathroom finished…
Sorry we haven’t blogged in ages. We just suck. Lots has happened… Shutters are done… Pool table is set up in the shed… We got a fridge given to us… I have gone back to Stock Control @ work… bought lots of Japanese Buxus from Grays Online to make a hedge in the front yard… got another 3 pallets of slightly damaged (but free)Treads delivered home which should be enough to complete the retaining wall.
I’ll try not to leave it too long before blogging again!
yay!!!!!!!!!!!
who will feed chewy when we’re gone?

On the weekend Andy and Jonathon replaced one of our windows today with doors that cost just over a $1 each (I’ll let Andy tell you the story about the 75 doors we bought off auction)…pics of our new window will be coming soon, still have to paint it.
Jelly and Jam are now back at home after a two week vacation at Mala and Andrew’s place hanging out with Malisha and co and generally destroying the place:
We also found out how the trip to Sri Lanka went and what arrangements they made. Turns out they had a rough time when my Dad collapsed one night, just when they were getting ready to relax too. So far the hotel reception has been booked and so have the flowers and photographers so nearly all ready for next Feb. Lost of decisions to be made now…
I’ve ordered a new phone too so hopefully should be back on the grid soon.

Hi, is your Dad okay, I hope it wasnt to serious. I guess I better hurry and get my passport. Hope you are all well. Tomorrow Mia and I are going to Isabella School Sports day, Im looking forward to it. Bye for now. DANA
I heard about the well priced (understatement of the year!) windows and doors acquisition, can’t wait to see them! 75 of them! Aww, cute kitties.
Ack, how’s Andrew now? What caused his collapse? Recovered fully I hope? =/
Woohoo for more things organised for Feb. Err.. you’ve “lost” decisions?
Yay for new phone soon. ~ Cynthia xox

Heeeys, yeah my daddy is fine now but gave my mum a big scare, apparently it was a heat stroke because their driver didn’t turn on the air conditioning. Later on in the trip the same car broke down and ruined their whole trip really. The company that gave us the driver will have lost a big sale because we won’t be using them next Feb for anything, of course my mum made sure the owner knew all about it hehe.
Cynthia perhaps it was Freudian, I am quite”lost” when it comes to the decision making.
My new phone hasn’t arrived yet…was I a fool for thinking Optus might be better than Telstra? Oh well, locked in for 24 months now…

Hi Guys,
Ugh, sorry we have been slack with our blogs again! but now its update time!!!
A few weekends a go we went crazy and laid two slabs in one weekend! Thanks Jonathan for the Saturday and thanx Andrew and Mala for the Sunday!
Last weekend Smily got her hair done! She dragged me along so I was sitting in the car waiting for like 2 hours… thanks Smily!
During this week I installed the second tank and plumbed them together! I have the submersible pump installed in the tank, but I still need to hook up the rainbank and plumb it into the house supply. Also started the fence/gate for the side of the house
Amila and Khris got two kittens this week! they are actually Jelly and Jam’s little brother and sister. Unfortunately they only got to spend 12 hours together. Apparently it can take weeks for cats to “accept” new kittens into the family.
Jelly and Jam got desexed on Friday. Poor little muffins… walked around all drugged out all weekend…
We went out and bought them some cat nip to make them feel better. Even though they look like weeds, it must be real, check out how they react!!!
We also got them a cat flap so they can explore the great wide world!
A quick trip to Ikea for some home improvements! Two mirrors for the new bathroom, a new curtain for the bedroom and a plastic bag holder!
And finally we sanded and repainted the swinging chair. I probably should have done it a year ago, but I think the weather damage is only relatively cosmetic…
Hi they are so cute, Love your new oven.
