Life continues to be very comfortable in our new space. We are still awaiting the removal of the green outdoor carpet and its replacement with timber decking. Steve has moved on to other jobs and has made a few tentative dates to do the work but so far, no luck! Winter makes the usage of internal spaces quite interesting and afternoon walks pretty exciting. The other day I walked Sally up to the park and saw 20 dolphins, one whale and a complete rainbow - all in twenty minutes. Pretty spacial.
We particularly like the ethanol fire on these wintry nights. It is most effective, however, it uses more juice than we were led to believe.
Our wonderful downdraft extraction fan in the kitchen bench were loopy a couple of weeks back. It developed a mind of its own and would rise roboticaly out of the bench randomly, day or night. I wrote to the manufacturer in America, received a reply within 24 hours. An Australian contractor in Melbourne sent a replacement part and his brother, who happens to live in Warners Bay, to install it within a week. Not bad service. It seems that there is a common fault where the mechanism picks up radio vibes from elsewhere which was setting it off. We wondered if it was the lift in the AMP Building next door!
Yesterday some cushions arrived. You may recognise that they are made from the same silk fabric as the bathroom blind was made from in Stockon. I like left-overs.
