buildinggracelands: 10th June

Steve came today and measured up the decking. It won't be done for a fortnight but at least things are moving. I unpacked the last two boxes of books and photo albums and am relieved to say that there are enough shelves to hold everything. I also unpacked my Egyptian Gods collection (over 100 models) - diehard followers of this blog may remember my quandries in Stockton, whether to bring them with me; how to pack them etc. I have been wondering just where I would put them and today I set them up on the bookshelves, in front of the books. So, if you want to take a book from the shelf, firstly you must displace the gods! Not too smart but it looks interesting!

Across the street, outside the Lock-Up Gallery, some wonderfully colourful "balls" have been placed over the streetlights as decoration / art. At night they are brilliant. I have some daytime shots here.

Just want it on record that Lester are still rising at 5.45am and having our beachside walk - even in this freezing weather. Both pairs of Lester's walking shoes have worn through and he had to race up to Mountain Designs the other day to get new ones. Can you believe that!

I realised another routine that I have fallen into is the Saturday Morning Stroll down the Mall to pick up SMH, some portugese tarts and a bunch of flowers from the street market; the essentials of life!

It's the Long Weekend. Always freezing and notable over time for momentous events...
