I like the painting where it is.
Update 7 Sept 2017:
I sold that painting, and here is a photo of the house now.

Chookie girls down on the farm
Well, it's more of a 'small-holding'! But here are my girls this fine sunny day.
My preciousssss...!
The passionfruit vine #1 is going well this season. Lovely flowers throughout and fruits ripening! I feel so happy about this.
Aren't they lovely?! It's so exciting to grow things!

Tutti too!
Little Tutti had a ball outside this morning when I was out with Trent, who was putting my tumble compost bin together. She's a darling kat.

Out back (Vinnies special)
Bought a great porcelain bunch of flowers that I found at Vinnies, Coorparoo.
It was $40 but I got it for $30. Great bargain! It sells for over $100 AUD on ebay. Mine has no chips or cracks which is fabulous - a cracked one on ebay was only worth $50.
It's called Old Country Roses - Centrepiece Basket. 10 inch by 6 inch.
The 'replacements' page lists this pattern as being made from 1962. The roses were made and attached by hand. They were out of stock of this item, with no knowing when they would get more, so it must be popular. I can't find it on the Royal Albert Australia site.
My friend Emily said 'it makes me happy to look at it'! Exactly!
I have it outside on a french garden table, where it gives me joy all the time. It will need a wash or dust fairly regularly, as the busy road drops black grit over everything all the time.
The hanging candle thing (top right) was given me by Mary Harlow, with whom I work at Coorparoo.

Sweeping
Regular weekend task - lots of leaves from the house next door, but it's kind of ok. There are many birds which sit and sing in those trees and make my weekend quiet very enjoyable.
Views from the top
I had a very pleasant guy come from Advantage Roofing come to inspect my roof. I even got up there to take a look myself.
Some pics from up there: (things, though run-down, do look neat and I'm pleased about that).
That's Ian Williams, the roofing guy. Pleasant chap.
And what did he say about my roof? Well....
