A quick update.
House across from us has now had handover. Hubby reports someone was there during the week measuring for wood flooring. Sound lovely. They've left a light on though. It's been on since Wednesday. Nothing we can do about it as we haven't seen anyone to tell.
Purchased a japanese maple and a flowering plum yesterday.Flowering Plum ( Prunus cerasifera 'Nigra' see pic) Both barerooted plants. Came home and planted them straight away and gave them some seasol to help them recover from the shock. They need a bigger drink and more seasol this weekend. Proper details on the maple when the sun comes up and I remove the tag.
I was hoping we would have the ute fixed by now but they've had no luck finding a replacement fuel tank for it. Yes the fuel tank has sprung a leak. :( So no ute driving atm . Very frustrating as I wanted to get the remaining 3 silver birches this coming week.
Acer Palmatum "Osakazuki" Japanese Maple
We haven't been able to get in contact with our retaining wall man ( we assume he's away, most likely in Bali) to book him to do our final retaining wall and lay down some tailings for a driveway. We've decided to spend the reticulation money on the wall after all the water pressure disappointment. I still want a water tank and pump but G can't see the value.
OMG how good is a wood fire. I decided this morning to get the fire going. 7.44 and it's just starting to warm the room. So nice. So basic. I guess going back hundreds of years in human history fire plays such a key role. There's something so nice about having one in the house despite having to get/chop/collect wood, clean it up, cope with the ash dust etc etc. I wonder if I'll still be feeling that way in 5 years time.
bought a silver birch while at the local nursery returned later to collect. one fast panicky trip to collect it in the moving fuel bomb
