Kitty-kisses

...all over the car!

Tutti loves to sit on the car roof in the mornings - it must be warmed by the sun.

Googs

The girls (or at least one of them) are laying, still.

I get an egg a day, which is lovely.

Repotting the calliandra hula girl + update

So, this calliandra is not doing as well -


I'm going to have to repot it.

5 Nov 2017: I repotted her today. She did start doing better, with new leaves but I thought she looked a bit forlorn there. Hopefully the pot will suit her as she grows.


Update 28 Nov 2018: I moved the hula girl to the side of the back garden, and hope it gets bigger there.

This (below) was one I saw on my morning walk - like fairy lights!




The same plant, around the block in a neighbour's garden, flowering again 5 Dec 2018:







First red pom-pom flower!

The plant is doing very well here - it's gorgeous! First flower noticed today!

Taffy likes to sit

These are the new chairs - need new covers but for now, Taffy loves them!

I bought these

$600 - for the front

 
Table setting for the back $325 - will be put here (below pic) instead of the green chairs and table:


as will this, as a side addition (small red table), where that broken down grey chair is now (top right, in the above pic). I particularly liked the 'Mongolian' stylised design on the top. Right colours, too.






The table was $40.


Bunks $55 for the spare room (so the girls can stay when they are older, or I can have a snooze somewhere different on a warm afternoon).

These doors for the front (eventually) - 

Leadlight front doors for the future. $200 for both.



Clear frosted glass doors - $130




Double entrance doors with cat door, $150.


Very pleased with these purchases. 
Now have to find someone to install them ha ha (and pay for that!)


Mark and Leslie (Man With Ute) have been fabulous with the picking up and collecting the things I have wanted.




Finally sold the red pot!

To Monica - Ms BMW, and 'Asian style'. Glad to be rid of it - no longer my style. $25 in my wallet.
