Some pottering about the house.

Replaced some more lights - what a difference a simple pendant and shade makes. We removed the dusty broken heater from the dining room and cleared out the fireplace. Now to place perfectly cut logs of wood or nestle candles decoratively - as you do when it's Spring... Well, I guess when winter rolls around we'll be set!

JD bought me a squeaky old blue bike on ebay.

He has visions of buying two or three knock about ones for us and friends "cruise down" to the beach.

On Sunday, I snuck off to the Finders Keepers market. I dragged a friend out of bed to come along (thanks SW). None of my own pics of the market to share but check out The Design Files wrap up - too many talented people, cuteness overload.

Tonight, a quiet night in.

A friend has lent me the box set of Love My Way - 2 episodes in and I am completely in love with them all. We don't have Foxtel (cable tv) which is probably a good thing.

Some spring cleaning - council rubbish collection. Lets hope I don't go wondering and bring road side rubbish home. I spotted a pallet on my way home yesterday... Hmmm, so very tempting.

I know I have gone on and on about velvet sofas, chairs and the like, but here's another one.. Beautiful mid century shape, ample size, cute buttoning, ribbed lines. Oh yes and throw in the lovely jewel coloured cushions too. Don't worry, I will shut up about them eventually...

Perhaps the day I get ever one.

the weekend

Lake Eildon was lovely. So serene..

No TV, no internet, not even a radio.

It was exciting to see that the water levels have risen after many years of drought. The weather was beautiful but not quite hot enough for swimming, so we skimmed rocks instead.

There was so much wild life, I don't think I've seen so many animals at the one time outside of a zoo. We went for a morning walk and watched the kangeroos run across the hills. A fat ass wombat slowing making his way home. Echidnas, lizards... Kookaburras calling to each other.

Plenty of card games on the verandah which over looked the hills.

I attempted home made pizzas to much success. We finished the nights with glasses of red wine and crackling fires, marshmallow sandwiches.

Back to the big smoke!
