Another Busy Week

House Update

The remainder of the Cabinetry (under the builder's contract) was installed this week, including the curved stone Kitchen benchtop in "Mangrove", which blends in beautifully with the natural colours of the site: The rest of the appliances were also installed: Most importantly, Mike was keen to check out the new Smeg gas cooktop, where he is bound to spend many an hour to unwind from the day's work!

Upstairs, the vanities and shaving cabinets were installed in the Ensuite, and the main bathroom: The small coffee making area outside the home office also had the benchtop and little sink installed:

For the first time, we got a glimpse of the Laundry, which we had redesigned during the year:

With the fernery outside, it looks like it will be a pleasant place to do chores!

Unexpected Visitor

While packing up at the rental yesterday afternoon, we had the back doors open, and the local Blue-Tongue Lizard wandered in and started helping himself to the cat food in the Kitchen:

If you notice he was heading towards the dishwasher as we were trying to take a photo of him, and before we knew it, he had flattened himself and slipped through the small gap under the door!

So we had to pull the front off the dishwasher and entice him back out again with the cat's meat.

He was a beautiful specimen, and Mike bravely picked him up (with a towel) and safely returned him to the garden.

Cook Community Awards

After 25 years of collecting and delivering bread to the poor (including us!) Granny and Poppa were recognised by our Federal Member for their services to the community.

Both Jess and Jake have given them a hand at times over the years.
