Last week was busy, finishing up in the garden for council clean up next Monday. There's more to do there, of course, but it'll do for now. Planted some more jasmine in an existing pot yesterday so I hope it'll take well and not annoy what's already growing there. It's like all the blooms are way up high on the wall and there's nothing but twigs at the base...
We got given a piano for free. Had to arrange and pay for pick up but since Lily has been showing interest we thought we better accept the offer. So we got that in last Friday. Had to get rid of one sofa to fit it in but that's life. The woman seemed pleased her late mom's beloved piano found a new home. Needs tuning but Lily is already having fun. For those of you who have never heard of Freecycle, you should check 'em out. Their network is pretty much across the globe so there should be a group near you.
Got a haircut too, the same day I went in to book the optometrist for later in the week. Rob finds it too short but it's so much lighter. You don't realise the strain it puts on your neck. Had it layered a bit too, but just on the low part. It's still past my shoulders so I don't know what he's complaining about, besides, it desperately needed it.
The back's been playing up too so a visit to the osteo was needed on Saturday and I'm going again when I'm back from Brisbane. I don't think I'll ever be rid of this and it's rather depressing.
It was Father's Day this Sunday in Australia. Didn't do much but we had chocolate mudcake, a miserably failed apricot chicken recipe (last time I ever do something from the Coles magazine!) and got the dad some liqueur-filled chocolates and some DVDs (all at special prices). Casino Royale, Dawn of the Dead, Fight Club and Heat. What do you think of my choices? Manly enough? ;)
Started back at the gym this week after a near two-week break. Lily was happy at the creche so that was a relief. My right hip is bothering me today but I'm going back tomorrow morning.
Got all my laundry done yesterday for the impending trip so all I have left to do is pack!
