Home project time

The hairless one wants to mount the TV to the wall. Only hitch is that it has a ceramic tile covering the fireplace surround where the thing is going to be installed, so that complicates things.

Adventures with the hairless one

It’s been an interesting week here. Lots of dog walks and trips in the car with our noses out of the window. The hairless one has a project to put all the home theatre gear into a rack (which he’s done) and then hoist the TV onto the wall (which he has not). Those yellow Continue reading

More beaver and a whale tail

The beaver is back again. Such a gentle creature. Pepper didn’t know whether to bark at it or make friends. Fortunately she’s on a leash but you could see her brain processing what to do about it. In other news, this lovely 911 came visiting today. Another PCA member 🙂 Continue reading

Are you crackers?

Pepper is not convinced. This, from a dog that follows me anywhere that food might be on offer. And better yet, she watched me give an identical one to Sage. Munch, munch… Continue reading

A bit cleaner

The house interior is beginning to look better – it got a bit of a cleaning today and they took up all the protective stuff on the floor. Our front door has frosted glass (never noticed it before) and the ground irrigation system is being installed for the neighbours. We’re still 40-ish days from taking Continue reading
