New taps

My personal fear is always plumbing issues. Well our toilet was stuffed and one sink was draining slowly the water was brown and our shower taps were leaking. Eep! Lucky for us a lovely Scottish bloke came and sorted all that out in an hour! Brilliant. And we got new shiny taps and shower head to boot. So feeling better now that's done and the roofs fixed and I'm almost done fixing the front door. I swear it is never ending. I only wish I had never ending time and money to sort it all out because I actually enjoy doing it. Next project either outside or laundry room I think...

Amazing Stirling range flower

I thought the purple spines were the flower but the ends opened up!!! How amazing is that?!? So beautiful

Beautiful native flowers

Flowers are here! Top one is a ground cover with amazing flowers. Next one is a rare flower native to the Stirling ranges north of albany. Then a rose cone flower that I find particularly enchanting and finally the incredible blue flowers native to albany. I love the plants here.

Tomato planting season

It's yet another wet weekend. Boo. I did get a bit of gardening in though and planted four heirloom tomato varieties. I have two Black Russians, two tigarelle, two mortgage savers and two yellow cherry. I also planted two Roma's, two grosse lisse's, and two beefsteaks. I hope they do well!!! I also put in some dahlias for some colour and took a pic of the tiny baby limes that have started to form. Yay!

Mt Melville hike

Nat and I went on a wonderful hike this morning up mt Melville. So beautiful! And Miski loved the walk and the beautiful views from the tower. And look at the crazy phallic rock we found. TGIF Yay weekend!
