No, I haven't fallen off the perch.....



Michael playing with the pegs


But the humidity has been a bit rough - and although I know we need rain - OMG not quite a whole week of rain!!!!


Hot and rainy and humid is how it has been for the past 2 weeks. I have been busy too.


Sue, Julie, Me & Julie



I had dinner with some of my girlfriends from where a used to work (about 12 years ago or so). We had Thai for dinner and then went to a coffee shop for dessert. YUMMO. We try and catch up a few times a year and it was great.




The dirty dishwasher - all clean now though


The kitchen is going in on Monday 1 March!! Very exciting. We needed a dishwasher and wanted one of those Fisher & Paykel 2 drawer ones. At $1800 + for a new one, hmmm - no $$ left in the budget at ALL for that. So I let Greg handle that (as I have done everything else pretty much!!).

He got this one above on Ebay for about $335, which is a pretty good price. Older ones were going for over $400. It did have a chunk out of the top of it (Greg has fixed now and you would never know), and when we got it home I noticed that the top drawer didn't close properly. Not sure if they sold it this way (probably) or if it happened in transit (not likely) but we downloaded the service manual and it was a very easy fix (thank goodness).

I scrubbed it when we got home - it was absolutely filthy dirty disgusting!!! Honestly, how can someone sell something that repulsive?? I nearly heaved when cleaning the filters (don't think they had EVER been done). Errgghh it was foul.

Anyway, we have tested it and it works fantastic - and is sparkling clean now!!! Gotta love a bargain eh.


Mum, Dad, Rich & Nat.............then Nat, Marty, Damo (Alex BF) & Alex

This Sunday it was lunch at Yum Cha for Mum's birthday (which was on Sat 6th Feb). Yum Cha didn't disappoint as usual!!! Yum Yum Yum

Alex, Greg, Michael, Jemma & Me!!!

The sun has finally come out today, not sure for how long but it is still mega humid. Hope the rain stays away as our yard looks like a jungle................
