Mind & body.....!


Details...sitting in a basket at the side of my desk along with 'The Australian Oxford Dictionary' and 'The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia'..a very well thumbed Oxford French Dictionary and The Penguin Thesaurus, a mother's day present from Aimee ten years ago. The Firm resistance band..well, it's good to stretch the muscles now and then also oui! This is what I've been up to for the past week, what about you? Floor going in on Wednesday (check out the original circa :) 1980 floor below, erk!) tiling..who knows when, but it's all good.. getting there! Hope that you've been well, I've missed you!

  6. I have missed your photos. It is kind of fun to tear things up but then you have to install the new stuff.

  7. In six months you will have forgotten all the mess and stress but then you will get a book from the shelf and it missed being dusted after the renos and the memories come back.

  13. You go Grace! If you want a job done well (or at all) then do it yourself !
    What? You don't want to keep the 80's floor??? ;)
    Just perused your previous post - isn't King's Park just the best place!
    (Glad the storms have gone)
    Have a great week!

  14. A 70´s floor I´d keep - an 80´s uhhhh. Out! ;-)

    Awww, Kings Park didn´t give me permission to install our love-lock. Do you have any idea? The Bell Tower is no option, they sell their own locks...

    Wishing you fast progress with your kitchen, oui, Grace!

  17. We did the big remodeling job four years ago, after 20 years in the house. It's miserable not bit you will be so pleased when it's done.

  25. Those tiles look similar to the ones in our house when we bought it. In fact there were 7 different patterns in the whole house. It took 3 or 4 years before we renovated...Phew! Looking forward to seeing the photos of the renovations.

  26. Well you asked what I was up to so here is my last year in renovation wonderland. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfbyte999/sets/72157631797327957/

  27. My dictionary and thesaurus is sitting on my desk by my computer too! Unfortunately, my strechy bands are hanging on a bedroom door knob and have gathered some dust lately. I really should get those out and put them to use. Good luck with the kitchen....keep up the good work and you will get there.

  28. Grace! You look really elegant. Careful not to drop that big hammer on your foot. It is all going to look great when it is done. (I totally forgot today's theme day. Car accident. We survived. Car didn't. John's back still straight so far:) and we are ok. When we get a car will be back blogging.)
