Busy day around the house

Well Ben was in the "maintenance zone" today so he raced off to Bunnings to buy some things like:-
  • door knobs for Dom's room - it hasn't had them for nearly 12 months since we had it built in!
  • bits and pieces for the french door which needs to be repaired, the wind nearly snapped it off it hinges yesterday!
  • light bulbs
  • Bamboo fencing for our back fence - so we're not looking through a metal fence and it makes it feel more "tropical"
  • Ben also bought a planter box for outside of the studio
  • Bought some bamboo plants, some bromeliads and some black pebbles
He also had his gym mates come around to help him go and collect his Ganesh statue which must have weighed about 100kgs!

Ganesh means - Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshipped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth.

After all that, Ben had to fix up the french door, which became really bad timing because we were meant to go to the Breakfast Creek Hotel for Tracey's lunch catch up, but since we had the door off it meant we couldn't leave the house! The children were a tad bit feral too and Dom went to sleep at 1pm so we just couldn't make it.

We were also meant to go to the dog park with Craig & Denise and their kids and dogs, but it was crappy weather - windy and a little bit raining so we decided we'd do it another day!!

So then Ben decided to put the bamboo fencing up in the backyard - to give it a more of a tropical feel I guess. If we ever get our Balinese Hut it will look great out in front of the bamboo!

I put Dominic's cot, change table and pram on ebay too.

So all in all a very successful day.
