Hi, at least you are planning things well, the way you 2 work you will whizz through you list a lot faster than others.
Wayne put the computer and my plasma TV in my bedroom so once I tidy the sleepout ajoining my room I will be very self sufficient.
We had a great amount of tomatoes and eggplants from our garden, plus onions, squash, basil, dill, potatoes, beans and spinach. Soon I will dig up the horseradish to make that up.
It wont be long and we need to get the garden ready for our winter crops. But we have fun, swapping our vegies with other, we get pickled crab, fish, pickled onions, pumpkin and Jo is getting some natural home made cleansing cream. So its worth swopping.
Must go all is well, Thomas is just beautiful. Mia is so close to walking. Bye Mum
Driveway!
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…

Photo frenzy
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.

*laughs* Aww, did Andy nudge Chewy out of the “comfy chair” or vice versa? =) Great job on the water tank! Will it be linked to watering systems? Jam & Jelly are so adorable. ><

Hi Cynthia!
Haha yeah chewy’s used to it. Yup the tank will be linked to the watering system according to Andy, almost everything will I think.

Hey Sumali I need your mobile again cause I got a new phone.
Would you and Andy like to come over for dinner sometime at Blacktown? I’ll try and invite Rhea as well.

Hey Aaron I totally emailed you our number ages ago when you left that other message, I’ll try again now. Sending it to your mlv one.

Aunty Malisha pops around for a visit
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:

Hey awesome lolcats!
You guys have to come over to our new unit at Blacktown sometime for dinner!
Also what’s your mobile number? I lost it when I upgraded to the iphone.
-
Hi, cute kittens, love their names, hope you have lots of fun with them. How does chewy get on with them
-
Chewy doesn’t seem to notice them at all it’s weird, he must be used to having cats around. The girls on the other hand don’t seem to like him at all but that’s understandable…

Weekend Work
It was too windy to work on the gutters this weekend, so we diverted our energy else where…
We picked up the swinging chair from Andrew and Mala’s place and installed in our tree!
Plus we got the cold water hooked up to the vanity!
We also bought a heap of stuff for our new kittens which are nearly ready to leave the litter!

We are leaning towards Sugar and Spice…

oh man, that sink is fancy schmancy! nice to see the place coming along. surprised that you are getting kitties too! very cool.
as a cat owner myself, i can recommend that you guys use Breeders Choice for litter. apparently it’s flushable, which helps with getting rid of #2s. you can buy a 35litre bag of it for $20 at Aussie Pet Supplies [183 Parramatta Rd, Haberfield] which is pretty good value considering they sell the same brand at Coles/Woolies for $20 but only a 20litre bag.
i sound like a crazy cat lady now so i’m going to stop talking.

We’ve changed what we’re going to name them cos Sugar and Spice just wasn’t working and didn’t really roll of the tongue. We ended up making them Jelly and Jam, we’re absolutely loving them, look fwd to a lot of posts on them!
Rhea I plan on becoming that crazy old cat lady one day, nothing wrong with crazy…I need to get some cat practice in.
Haberfields a bit far away, is it close to you? Maybe we should work out some kind of kitty litter deal between the two of us. Speaking of bargains we were going to buy a $60 scratching post at the pet store but luckily we decided to wait and shop around. Aldi had/has them on special for $20 so that was an awesome saving. Oh and that pink hand toy thing really sucks, they don’t react to it at all.Comment by smily — October 11, 2009 @ 5:28 pm

Nice vanity….
Comment by Andi — October 25, 2009 @ 9:50 am
