Bricklayers put hebel blocks in place for the garden beds. Skirtings and cornices and general patching were worked on by Jim the plasterer and Greg and Richo. The joinery team installed the stair shelves on the bottom stairs and the huge bookshelf (which we absolutely love) and some more kitchen cupboards which will surround the fridge. We received the built-in wardrobe plan which is fine.
I packed up more stuff at Stockton in the morning, before manning the desk at the surgery in the afternoon. I've obviously strained a few back muscles that I've not used in a while but I will soldier on: no sympathy here! (This is a test to see if Lester reads my blog. I suspect he doesn't!) After work, we zoomed out to Good Guys and bought a wall mounted TV and a bar fridge and we went to my fav shop - Howards Storage World and bought more of those sucky bags which enable you to store voluminous amounts as shrunken bits. Also arranged for them to come out and measure up wine storage racks.
Just had a good conversation with Rowan and Sammy in Thailand and earlier with Liam, who is at NSW Uni on a five day intensive course. Also been in contact with Kiz, Jac and Bern about the renos and other important things like Tropfest, the breakout in the Middle East, Mossie Belle (Liam's horse which is having her first run next weekend), the new house in Thornleigh, carbon tax and earthquake survival. Rowan was able to tell me that Kristina beat Barrellofarrell in The Debate. Oh darn! I missed it.
