Our past week

The past week has been really busy, this "reno" stuff does take its time, but we are getting there - sort of!! This week we were greeted by some of our neighbours, on Wednesday we arrived home after a very busy day of shopping for - "should we buy that tap, or this one", and so on, to find a very nice bottle of red wine and letter from a group of neighbours in the adjoining street, Frank called one of them and had a long chat - he finished the conversation with sooh much local knowledge. Then on Friday evening, Carol, our next door neighbour held a delightful cocktail party for us to introduce us to some more neighbours - a truly fun evening to say the least. This morning we went for a long walk, however on leaving the house I looked up and there were the Hot Air balloons - I took a couple of not so good shots (palm tree is on our place) and put the camera back in the house, had I taken it with me on our walk then I would have been able to get some beauties, as they came in very close. About those taps, the Brig made a decision this afternoon that he could change the old taps for the new ones, a plumber was definitely not needed!!!!. Well, he had an excellent start, and changed some, then whilst typing this there was this horrendous noise - a damn waterfall had hit the bathroom, anyway water went everywhere - something went wrong, and I am not asking what, but I am sure that after the clean up, there will be a phone call to the plumber!!. SUCH FUN!!
