Slow & Steady.......






Well, we have been working our butts off on the house, and am looking forward to painting the exterior and getting stuck into the remainder of the interior. We have decided to leave the rest of the garden until the spring - too much stress over the cold winter! The bathroom is the big one due for major overhaul over the winter. Until then, here are some photos of our efforts so far (yes Alyssa, I do read your comments!)

Indie's Back!


Well, Pip & I ventured into Albury this weekend to see the latest Indiana Jones Movie "Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It was quite a movie! I guess you always have some trepardations when revisiting something you loved as a child, and this was no different - there were moments when you just cringed, and other moments that were pure Indiana! We both decided that anyone who is a fan of the original films should definitely see this one. It has been so cold here in Bright, almost snowed the other day, and every morning is spent de-icing the windscreen before you can drive! we have our school fete on tuesday, so it will be very interesting to see the dunking machine in this weather. Pip has started to car-pool over to Mount Beauty with another Bright-based teacher, turns out it is saving him about a full tank of fuel a fortnight! We consulted a painter about how warm it has to be to paint the exterior of the house, and he thinks we will be fine in the middle of the day, so the next couple of weekends will be painting - yay!
We have booked our tickets to Queensland for the June long weekend and are looking forward to meeting up with Mum & Dad Nevin in Toowoomba for a concert!
