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…
Both our cats seem to like water, well they have both managed to fall into the spa at some stage… Here is Jammy on a boat ride…
And Jelly climbing the shower screen…

Sorry I haven’t blogged in ages guys. I was waiting until I fixed my puter, but it looks like its going to be a more expensive fix that anticipated, so I’m installing things i need on this puter…
We have started on the driveway! Amila has helped us lay two slabs so far, just 10 more to go….
And yesterday I installed a tread and riser for the foot path to the front door. Naturally I had to make a simple thing complicated by cutting a spot to fit a uni-pit…

Andy got some good work done today, pretty soon we’ll be able to use the rainwater tank which is already full:
Then Andy discovered a new piece of furniture to sit on:
In the meantime I got a fun action shot of Jam:
Got to love action shots, ten points for anyone who can spot Jelly in the same picture.
…and we never did share those photos we took when that building in Silverwater caught on fire ages ago did we? It was a plastics building so lots of black smoke and this is what we could see from our house.

Mal came around to say hi to Jelly and Jam a fortnight ago, they’ve grown a bit since then:
We took a couple of photos…
They seem to really enjoy rolling around in fresh kitty litter, playing in the shower and pouncing on each other:
