Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)

Oh...you are not kidding! I have (seemingly) acres of tiles to mop! Drives me mad. Mind you, I cannot live without big, open spaces, or big windows. Necessary for my mental health.

The other thing I like to view is Baptismal Fonts. To know your ancestor “got its head wet” right here is mind blowing.
Kind of like graves. You wonder who stood right HERE witnessing the event.

Lower left window...possibly another slim nosed grey dog, looking out over a vase of hydrangea flowers?
Other than that, I expect we are down to lady bugs or butterflies...🤔

House guest announced yesterday that they were staying another night and would proceed home late today. No problem really, but we had plans for today ( visiting a Vintage Caravan gathering).

Maz, do you commemorate Anzac Day the same as we do for the armistice in November? We went to the war memorial and viewed the wreaths, then watched as those taking part in the parade assembled. We didn’t stay for the parade, as crowds were getting a bit thick for comfort ( I wore a mask). The best ...

Funny thing is, I had to reach for sleeves this afternoon for the first time in 7 months. That meant a trip upstairs to a wardrobe where I put my Winter clothes.
