My Place To-Day...

Well Christmas and New Year have been and gone again, now it is time to get back into the swing of things.

No travel pics today...lots of work happening here now it is easier to get inside work done due to most of the big jobs being done.

Moved all the furniture out of the front room and we are putting down the floor...finally.

...Only to findthe hardware shop has run out of the timber I'm using!

Fair Dinkum!!!

So this means that the house remains a jumble with furniture from the front room everywhere as it is still snowy outside so we can't put things on the verandah...

Lots of little jobs for Imre over his next 8 working days...

The chimney check up man came a few months back and said we have to put a metal door in the chimney in the bathroom, to clean out the soot falling from the chimney.
That chimney is the same chimney for the kitchen stove I use every day in winter, so it is important it gets done.

Then take the doors off the cupboard we made in the old bread oven that was there and straighten the front of the cupboard, as somehow we missed getting it straight in the first place!
...and do the same in the chimney over the shower cabinet that we inserted into the other fire place in the old kitchen, now bathroom!

Then he can put shelves in one of the 3 robes that were left here, so I can use it as a linen cupboard...

Then make pelmets for the front windows...I don't like the open curtain rods in there...

Then complete the front 3 fly screen trims and fit them to the front windows...

Then  put in a new power point and run a pipe for the drainage in the bathroom for the washing machine...it's in the kitchen at the moment...

Fix up a special weather cover from the outside for the air vent into the cellar to stop the snow and rain blowing into it.

...and a bunch of other little jobs I'll find as we go along, no doubt!

Lovely snow in my own backyard!

Right up to the front door...

It comes so quickly...

...and blows right onto the verandah!

Then we had a 5 hour blackout which was quite romantic actually...in the winter with the fire going and all!

I was lucky as I had a lot of candles around from Christmas!

Imre starting the final push of the big jobs...

Check out how big a ding in the wall where the first board was to go down... Imre had to cut out about an inch of timber from the first floorboard.

Dog has started jumping up on my knee now she feels more comfortable.

Try and get a pic of me ??? Nooo way human!!!

Getting there, board by board...

Now to the cat! Oh dear...do not bother me please...

OK, here...is that good enough for you human lady???

2nd big snow fall...

The deeper, wider marks in the snow are from dog...she is so little, her legs are not long enough to hit the ground through the snow, so her belly drags and smooths the top snow and the fluff on her legs makes really wide trenches...Funny little thing she is...

Up the road from me at the Hungarian Revolution monument, on my way home at 4pm ...

The path to the bus stop at 1pm...

Local church...very European...

The bus stop on the other side opposite the pretiest bus stop in the world...The PO is just at the end of the nice wall with the snow on top of each post...

The bus stop opposite the PO...

A bit of a mushy mess out there...

It still looks nice down that road...

Cat having her lunch in the sun, out of the dog's way!

Getting ready to go after her food. All these pics loaded backwards...worse luck...

The snow was breathtaking this time. I'm going to see where I can find some snow shoes, those big flat tennis racquet things...

Had to shovel the snow all the way around the house and out on the footpath...my great big corner block footpath...

You can see her little foot prints and the hair/fur drag that she makes! I wondered what it was at first.

A great field to go snow shoeing on...

She loves fossicking in the snow. She is becoming more energetic every day. She stays in her bed throughout the day when inside. Then I let her out for a few hours/ to all day depending on the weather...She is getting into a routine. When I bathed her, she did not move...she loved it and just sat/stood there like a statue...If I remember black dog, Bear, did that too. It is probably that breed...she is of the same brand I think.

.

So cute...Still haven't got a name for her yet and neither have I visited the neighbour re her ownership...

From the woodshed...

A few weeks ago...Haven't seen chem trails for months over here...

Between the 2 snow drops...

Heading to town the other day...Practicing with the new camera/soon to be phone.

As the sun sinks in the west, (well, almost the west)...This is about the shortest day of the year..

Another sunny day comes to an end...

The first night after I found her...

Time for a snooze...

She is stepping out in style now...more confidence too...

So, goodnight all...

Fat n' happy, I'm asleep now...

 OK, I'm off too now...it is so nice to be able to type without cutting and pasting w s x y and 2...You have no idea how many times in a sentence you use the letter S...Amazing.

Anyways, that was my first week back and on the job for this year.

So, with Tuzep not being able to get the floor timbers for the next 4 weeks, next week will be the first of those 4 weeks of getting many little jobs done.

That will finalize a lot of left over or forgotten little nuisance jobs. It will be good to get them out of the way finally!

Hope you all have a great new year...
Stay healthy, fit and happy,
Love to all,
M xxxx
