We have some new bits around the house.
Outside table made for us from re-used old bits of Oregon pine by the lovely folks at The Woodstocker at Altona:
Can’t wait until it gets sunny again and we can eat outside :).
Nicer chairs to follow…
Also, yesterday: Solar geyser installed. Huzzah!
A deep, meaningful, interesting picture of the thingy on the roof:
And it works! :D
Plants! Loads of them. New ones.
Ambassador Kosh. Hallway plant extraordinaire:
Ficus. Was unhappy in the front garden, so we put it in a red thing. Now it happy :) .
Frangipani. Came to the house as a leafless stick, from Casa Tanya (thanks!)
Two new climby jobbies – on the tree, and on the pergola (Wisteria o’ Doom! Growing at a sillyfast pace).
Middle of the succulent patch, finally filled: yay!
Close-up of the amazing airbabymaker:
Along the edges of the leaves, it grows little babies. The babies grow roots, then they fall off and plunge the roots into the ground. They grow up so fast… *sniff*
The Amazing Miracle Tree TM:
Hopefully Parfles will correct me if I’m wrong, but this thing is about a year old and it’s already over 2m tall. Holy leafy goodness, Batman!
And now for some furniture.
2nd-hand bench, painted and shinied by Parfles:
Beautiful (and comfortable) bench bought for us by Eck (thank you!):
Screen for outside shower, made from old shutters, painted and installed by Parfles, with unexpected finishing help from Jean, on Sunday.
Apologies for the low-level commentary.
Work crazy!
Me crazy!
Mad people crazy!
It’s crazy!
Another weekend, another green expansion :).
See: the sprouting of many things on the ground!
Laugh: at the cunning use of old burglar bars as trellis thingies!
Sneeze: since you just had a cat sitting on your head!
(that last one might just be me…)
Also, meet Trunky. New deck chair.
In further, awesome, news: stepchairder! Chair and ladder! Combined! More than meets the eye!
1/2 of which is HW pressie from Jess – thank you! : )
Jo on (specially arranged for this shot, long time after they were finished and in use) Chairs of Awesomeness (that Jo painted and Jess’ Ma very kindly upholstered).
DVD rack!
Made by Jo, with minor assistance from me.
Coobs!
