  Would you and Andy like to come over for dinner sometime at Blacktown? I’ll try and invite Rhea as well.

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

  Comment by Dana — October 12, 2009 @ 10:30 am

• 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…

• Cute kitties

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!

• how exciting!!!!!!!! have you guys figured out names. name them monkey and pickle hahah!

  Comment by mal — September 28, 2009 @ 11:13 am

• 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.

• Nice vanity….

  Comment by Andi — October 25, 2009 @ 9:50 am

So we woke up to this eerie orange glow outside our window and the first thing I thought of was ‘bushfire!’ but it was just a very pretty dust storm and lucky for us we had all our doors and windows closed unlike some people (fellow renovators) who woke up covered in dust.

You know I never realised how flimsy those curtains are…

Went to Salamander Bay with the family for a sort of long weekend, we took the motorbike up and stayed at the Oaks Pacific Blue Resort which was really cool.

  We stayed in a 3 bedroom townhouse which had a private plunge pool although the entire resort was surrounded by a man made lagoon with little spas and beaches around it, we’d highly recommend staying there if you ever go up near Port Stephens.

We also hung out at the beach and found an awesome beach with dogs that chewy would have loved.

The place was really very comfortable, it had laundry stuff so we could wash our towels during the day. Me and Andy got the bedroom with the TV and balcony which was nice.

We had buffet dinner there the first night which wasn’t as nice as it should have been because they stopped making food while we were there and we had to keep asking for stuff and the dessert was all gone by the time we got to it. Word to the wise, never arrive late to a buffet.

We took Putty Road on the way home which had heaps of motorbike danger signs, it’s nice and windy so it’s popular with the bike hoons. Thanks goes to Mala and Andrew for the awesome short break from work (and working on the house).

It was actually a few weeks ago but little miss Mia Ivy came to see us (and Jojo and Dana too!) and we never ended up taking any pics with our camera. Joanne has been kind enough to send us her photos to share with you all on our blog. Enjoy:

Mia is so welcome to come back any time, everybody loved her (and Jojo and Dana).

This weekend Amila and Khris came round and helped, last weekend Andrew and Mala came and put a heap of hours in. Thanks everyone for helping!

Got our metal fascia cover and gutter. 48m of each. We have about 30m of cover up so far, including most of the hard bits, so the rest should go up quickly.
