So, on Friday we were handed the keys to our new house. When I say we I mean Michael as it was too late in the day for me and Kez to go out (she still sleeps in the afternoon). He put on his painting clothes, loaded up the car, picked up the keys and then went straight there for painting!
We basically have/had Friday, Saturday and Sunday (with church Sun morning) to paint the house before the moving in of everything on Monday (tomorrow here as its already Sunday in Perth). Yesterday I spent the day there with him painting. I sat either on the floor or on an office chair with wheels most of the time. Last night both of us were exhausted, I was fast asleep somewhere between 9pm and 9.30pm, only just lasting that long!
Living Area, sans furniture of course and pre-painting.
I took some pics of the painting (above) but also of some of the native flora and fauna (well, if you count chickens!) around our new house. I’ll take a proper shot of the front later. So, here’s the shots, I love the native Aussie garden we have going there:
I can’t remember what this tree is, someone enlighten me!
Beautiful bark of the white gum (so much painting inspiration here).
Gum Tree
Red Gums
Mandarin Tree Fruiting
Our new chookies! We’ve called them Pippin and Frodo.
Honkey Nuts
Very wet Wattle
Another type of gum tree
And finally, the front of our house.
