Friday, we spent some time finishing the bottom deck area…

in a section under the main deck there had been boards to hold the box of soil that was there for any planting requirements…

when the deck reconstruction was completed, it was decided we would finish this piece…

Friday afternoon a bit of shovelling took place to remove the dirt on the blocks and then the new saw was put to work cutting cross boards and then the pieces to fill in the deck area…

it looks great and the big dirt box can slide in and out easily… it sits back there to keep the soil from getting wet when it rains…

looks great and has finished off the deck build;-)…

yay, always happy when a project is completed without any niggly little bits left unfinished;-)…

finished…

a good friend came by Friday morning with a parcel they picked up for me…

I also received some delicious scones;-)…

after they left, I spent time in the living room reorganizing the space…

tidied and moved plants, rearranged tables and sat and read in the finished space…

the kitchen is finished;-)… I am sooooo happy… my son-in-law has done a stellar job…

the ceiling was scraped, primed and painted…

the cabinet doors were removed…

everything came out, was sorted, and lots of things went into boxes to give away…

the doors were primed and painted…

the inside of the upper cupboards (which were red) were given two coats of primer and one coat of paint… I have been dreaming about this for at least the last five years…

the doors and drawers and front of the lower cupboards were painted…

the cutting board and end countertop got a coat of paint along the edges…

new hardware was installed on all the doors..

and the light switch (which works with Google) and new light fixture were added…

everything is bright and back where it belongs and I love it;-)…

finished…

big girl pants, blisters, Diabetes Walk, finished, planting

up way too early and had a five am hot tub … put out all the cushions so the garden would be ready when I got home from the Diabetes Walk that some of my colleagues and I were taking part in…

 
walked over to the Park and met our group… three were doing the 10 km walk, two of us did the five km one, and one did about three kilometres before getting a bit lost…

It was a beautiful day for a walk and about three hundred people participated in a number of options… we had a great time and saw a few friends doing some of the more strenuous runs… 

this is what we saw ahead of us as we began…

 
the Park is so beautiful at this time of year and we got to walk around the Formal Gardens with their wonderful canopy of trees… had to get a shot of these beauties as we walked by…

  
once we all finished we headed out for brunch and had fun… great to spend time with these amazing folks outside of the office…

got home and rested my weary feet in the garden… sadly I have a few blisters… finally finished book five of Game of Thrones as I sat out there…

kids came for dinner and we ate outside for the second day in a row… still no bugs…

finished planting all the flowers that we picked up yesterday, except for one iris which I haven’t quite figured out where to put, lol…

  
enjoying a few quiet minutes by the pond before heading in… think a hot tub is in the plans for a bit later…
