Saturday bucketed down with rain...great...we had an early start today to return the trailer to Reg as my brother needed it to move the final bits and pieces from his house prior to moving.
Called in at DFO in Essendon to talk to the Manager of Beacon lighting to work out what to do about my missed matched crackle colours....while in Beacon, Tony sat in the car with Mia....I got back to the car....oops, Reg's lights don't automatically turn off...flat battery...bugger!....rang Kelly to come down in the Excell as it has jumper leads in the boot....got the car started....so Kell took Mia home with her.
Quick flying visit at mums and said a quick hello to Paul (my step brother) and his partner Stacey who we hand not meet before....
Back to Adrians to change cars, as Reg had had the Getz while we had his car, swapped to the Santa Fe and bought up our Amp, blueray player and speakers to have some noise.
Tony had ordered some stone for the driveway and paths, to make things a bit easier for Monday for moving....it was still raining when we arrived...hmmm...can see why they said it used to be a flood plain around the area, there was water lying everywhere in the paddocks...
A work colleague of Tony's has horses out here, so she called in and started moving the stones as she was already wet, help that was muchly appreciated....we had planned to do it on the Sunday but you don't knock back help. We had planned to do the robes...hah! what a laugh, tried to sort out what was what...okay, where are all the joiners?, the hangers?.....only half the hardware was here....there went that idea.
After Marion left, we set up the music, Tony made a start on the feature wall in the rumpus room, we choose to do it in a Dulux colour called Sea Elephant, a chocolate brown not too dissimilar to a mint slice biscuit., we gave it two coats and hoped it didn't need another.
Once again we had take away due to the lateness of the day.
