Thursday And A Sunny Day

The rain from the weekend has passed and we have had lovely warm sunny days with temps in the low 30's. The pool temp has recovered to just below 30 degrees so all is well.

As a member of the Community Association Tony (Secretary) and myself headed down to the local MP's Office where we can photocopy for no charge. Our mission was to do 1250 A3 double sided copies of the Newsletter. I have taken the role of putting the newsletter together now and it has been revamped in to an A3 size publication, a lot more spread out with most items just copy/pasted from the website (which I also do). It took 4 hours to do the photocopying yesterday and we have both vowed "NEVER AGAIN"!

We both reckon we will suggest 2 x 2hr shifts for the next issue to the Committee, one duo does from 12:30 to 2:30 when a second duo comes in and finishes it all off. Share the load a little.

We have been updating the side and back fence of our small backyard. There are 1/2 inch gaps in the back fence and we have put some brush screening along it to keep our privacy. This screening is virtually disappearing with age so is up for replacement. We will put double palings over the back fence and replace the reed screening on the side fence. The palings go on tomorrow (Paul has a nail gun and will do it tomorrow morning!) and I have just about finished replacing the side fence reed screen. The photo shows the replaced screening and a single paling I screwed on to the fence just to see how it might look. You can see them both (as well as the size of the gaps in the back fence) in this photo.

Looks better already!

This afternoon I will have a haircut and then finish off the side fence. I will probably sneak a swim or two in as well as it is a bit warm out there!
