Hi Guys!Well it's the first day of winter. Yes it was a lovely 18 degrees here today. Except for every building being damp and cold it's not too bad. I go outside during the day to get warm! You can always spot a gal from Middleton, particularly when she is having a bad hair day. I went to the arts and crafts guild in Middleton and bought some Feijoa Jelly as well as some Mandarin Marmalaide-I have never tasted anything like it-yummy. You will have to google feijoas-I did. learn something new every day! Since I have been basically eating my way around Oz I decided I should become a little more active. Tonight I went to a yoga class. You never know when being bendy or stretchy will come in handy...... The class was neat-the instructor had placed a candle in the middle of the room and there were red heat lamps glowing all around-nice and toasty. I was pleasantly surprised that I could get back up from my downward dog and I actually worked up a sweat doing sun salutations. Oh and did I mention that my friend Pat has got me hooked on the Australian Master Chef program so now I watch telly when I am not busy at quilting or yoga. In honour of my new homeland I also watched the Glee episode with olivia Newton John on it. Come on now we can't sight see and tour around ALL the time. I hope you are all keeping well. I miss and love you all!
G'day eh!

PS A couple of you have asked about the fish measurement station in one of the last pictures. You find them on Jetty's and they have the different fish on them and what you can keep and throw back- and yes they are measured in man inches!!!LOL
Hi Bern! It all looks wonderful and you certainly look like you are enjoying every moment of it! Barefoot indeed! We are NOT having temperatures as warm as your winter here in June in NS! Bazza and I planted our 10 baby trees today and the yard is starting to look pretty good (in my imagination - I close my eyes and I see it in 5 years - and it looks AMAZING!)
ReplyDeleteThe basement reno is DONE! We have to paint the stairs, paint the den and glue the floor pieces together - and that's it! All the mudding, drywalling, floor laying, painting, taping and hammering are DONE! Wahoo!
Love your pictures. Miss you!
