Evandale Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Had a master craftsman in today to measure up for colonial shutters, not cheap but a great investment. A trip to Bunnings , must say the women shop assistants are proving as knowledgeable as the men in DIY shops these days.. most impressed! Picked up some some home cured smoked bacon from my butchers and placed my Christmas order. For some reason, some courteous drivers around , always makes a pleasant change! Forecast -3 tonight so might be a trip to Ben Lomond to play in the snow this weekend! How was your day? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I swam 1.5km so feel a bit weary now but always try to get some exercise in on most days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I must say Evandale the staff at your local Bunnings are obviously a vast improvement on the ones we have. They are in my experience next to useless...and to my way of thinking very vague and disinterested. With very little knowledge sorry to say just what i have found. The only good thing about my day was the G& T i had when i got home. Bad day today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Just got back from a great evening out with friends- found a new red wine from somewhere south of Margaret River so we had a couple of bottles (shared!), feeling very mellow and happy .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we are just fortunate in this neck of the woods where jobs are like hen's teeth! The G & T sounds very acceptable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainR Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I was provided with a surprisingly delicious Russian breakfast on the ship I piloted this morning, a pleasant surprise at 6am which slightly made up for working nights. Also managed a trip the gym in the afternoon, was absolutely knackered dragging myself to the gym but came out feeling wide awake (which isn't ideal when I need to sleep before another night shift). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toots Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 My little dog had a black raised spot on his muzzle which I was a bit worried about. Vet has cut it off and it will be examined to ensure it's nothing nasty e.g. skin cancer. Vet did say though that it is probably nothing serious so that's a relief. Tests will be back in a couple of days but I'm sure all is OK. He also cut one of his paws on a bit of broken glass. Didn't seem to cause him any pain - didn't even limp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobj Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Larder was bare as we went camping for a month. Grocery bill was only $106 for a week for us two. Cheers, Bobj. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
