Chances are your going to experience the biggest day of celebrations in England since the last world cup win in 66 and the end of the 2nd world war.

I've probably just put the moccas on that, however it is a possibility..... Just letting you know what you could be in for.


As for my day, 2nd day in a row of sick (genuine for once) bit of a chest cold and just about to take the dog for a walk. Hope it clears my blocked up head a little.

Hoping to go to work tonight.

At Home. Got a carpenter, an old geezer, 75-ish and his middle-aged, obnoxious son fitting the doorframe and door at the moment. The son was letting off steam, effing and blinding and bullying his dad. I put up with it for a short while, thinking what the hell is going on?! But finally lost it with him, told him to shut up or get off my property. He shut up straight away and now he's doing his work. His poor old dad looked ever so grateful.

This is Eaglestone Rock, near Nungarin, in the WA Wheatbelt.

. . . and this is the view from the summit of Mt Walker, a huge granite outcrop halfway between Narembeen and Hyden/Wave Rock (or, about 40 km from both). It's very hard to find literature about Mt Walker, but well worth a stop for anyone going out to Wave Rock or the Central/Eastern Wheatbelt. I did read somewhere that Mt Walker was 360 metres high - that seems an overestimate to me - but it is substantially higher than Wave Rock.

These are amazing photos. :cool: Thanks for sharing, I'll have to take a turn past there when my wife and I embark on our grey nomad adventures in a few years from now.

I was going to post photos of some of the latest work done in my house but they'll distract from Carcajous awesome pics so I'll leave it for now :thumbup:

Stayed Close to home today. Took a photo of one of Melbournes most famous landmarks... 300 meters or less from my place. Building a shopping center and cinema complex in there right at this moment..... 100's of trucks in and out every day.

Here they are. The old dad came back today on his own to finish off the door. He did a fairly good job, but probably it would have been better if his son hadn't played up so much yesterday. The fully lockable door separates the third main bathroom and the rumpus room from the rest of the house. A month or so ago I got the built in office cupboards in the rumpus room converted into a kitchenette. You can't see it in the photos but the small cupboard that you can just about see on the right side of the photo was removed from the left of the end to end counter in order to accommodate a small under counter fridge. I was pleased to be able to re-assemble the drawers too so it was a great result really. A proper kitchen laminate counter was glued to the top of basic cupboard top that was there and we fitted and plumbed the kitchen sink in. Amazing, I got the counter top measurement spot on, it slid in without even a millimeter to spare! :D The counter was quite narrow so I had to use a caravan sink, which seems to have worked very well. I was also able to get some splashback tiles to match fairly well those that were already on the floor. Now all that remains is to paint and varnish as needed, set up a separate electrical wiring circuit in case the tenant/lodger trips the electrics out while we're away, redevelop the crummy patio that we currently have so that they can enter the studio, and set up a combination locking system for the side gate entrance. Oh, and maybe add a reverse cycle air-con (gotta think about that one a bit since I want it to be as heat and cool efficient as possible and set it up so that it doesn't get left on 24/7. Once done, it'll be another little income stream ready for the final couple of laps towards retirement :thumbup:
