G'day all! I may be a bit excited. We have keys! Keys!  About to be changed keys! We went up to our "new" house this evening and looked at what we want to do before moving in.  Painting is the main thing. But what colours?  DH is really keen on BLACK for the living area!  Lovely leaves and stone. Nothing to do with our "new" house. His proposal has been vetoed.  I have this power.  I want something light and bright because the room is pretty dull - we have a massive Douglas fir in the front yard but it is on the north side so whilst it dulls down the light, it doesn't actually shade the house.  The room is currently brown. The bedroom will be a range of blues because we will keep our fish wall.  I am not keen on stapling felt to the lathe and plaster wall, however.  Am wondering if we will just use dots of sticky stuff. Little Lady Liberty at Alki Beach The study?  Dunno.  I am still keen on light/yellow...

G'day all! Do you ever wonder if you'll ever get there?  Or where "there" is for that matter?  I'm told "there" is wherever you want it to be, but some days I'm not sure what I want it to be.  There are so many options! Thank you for the birthday wishes.  I had quite a pleasant day :-)  I met up with a fellow Aussie and we wandered around the market room of a local knitting conference.   We had a good natter.  I may have bought some yarn there. I started knitting some of it immediately but the idea didn't work out so I have two balls of yarn again.  Knitting is good like that - if it isn't working out, you can pull it out and start over or just leave it to marinate in stash for a while. Unsuccessful knitting I thought it might work but nope. That evening we went out for dinner with some friends, then home for cake.  I found a completely gluten-free and vegan bakery/cafe (not that the vegan part is important for ...

G'day all! We are waiting on some big news.  Waiting is tedious.  I thought we might have some big news before I blogged again but alas, no. Autumn leaves are falling It involves LOTS of paperwork and no it isn't a baby.  You guys should know me better than that....  Anyway, we don't have an answer yet, so I'm not saying anything more about it. This is such a cute little tree. This week has been busy, between the paperwork, trying to get work done, and screwing up my taxes (Oz taxes - I put the wrong figure in the wrong place in the online tax system and couldn't figure out why my numbers were all wrong but of course since it said this I believed it because some days paperwork and computers flummox me so then I had to do a heap more paperwork to try to fix it up and the printer of course ran out of ink and I had to do a special trip to buy more ink, etc, etc....). For some reason this pic isn't rotated.  Odd, eh? Today/tomorrow I turn old...
