| The new bathroom!! |
my dad and his partner, gail, came to visit for august and september which kept us fairly busy with tourist-like activities and home repairs J i took a few days off when they landed so that i could show them around Melbourne and we headed along the great ocean road for some gorgeous coastal views! it was probably best that i offered to drive as dad spent significant time snapping pictures and ogling the scenery ;) unfortunately, the weather wasn't great on the second day so we had poor visibility for some of the rock formations around the twelve apostles. among other highlights, we headed up to the yarra valley to check out a local zoo filled with native animals, went penguin watching and visited a miniature train show.
in addition to sight-seeing, we spent some time on home repairs. shannon and i wanted to redo our bathroom upstairs as the shower was narrow and uncomfortable to shower in so dad & I spent a couple of days demolishing it which i really enjoyed! it was much quicker demolishing it than I has been putting it back together :) (the bathroom is now a bright green!) we also build some fantastic garden beds for the front yard, stained them and the fences and built sliding pantry drawers which have effectively tripled our storage space! all up, it was a pretty busy two months, even more so for them as they did heaps of traveling too!
the weather's starting to warm up and we've had some ridiculously warm days already! the garden's starting to grow in earnest – we've got broccoli, tomatoes, capsicum, carrots, beans and squashes growing, along with a couple of flowering plants – i'm looking forward to eating some of the fruits of my labour.
take care!
hugs,
