Finishing Touches

The first hour or two of Sunday (today) was spent just tidying up those finishing touches for the revamped back yard.  The lantern from Saudi has now gone on display under the pergola.  The colored panes of the lantern really came to life during sunset as the rays of the sinking sun shone through the pergola lighting up the lantern.  It was quite spectacular.

Photo at foot of this post. It's not the best photo in the world but it does give you an idea of how it looks.

The wall hanging lizard has had a third coat of paint, this time green, before being attached to the new back wall.  The three ladybirds in a row have at last found their proper home, also being attached to the back wall.

And if you look closely you will see a green gecko on the brown horizontal paneling of the pergola itself.  A new plant now adorns the back corner near the pool filter cover.  A new swim safety sign has gone up above the pool filter cover and the oversized sun lounge has returned to its original spot!

All of the final fittings took several looks and deep discussion before the final positioning was completed.

Around $60 worth of pool salt and pool chemicals has gone into the pool making everything tip top for the upcoming swimming season.

My footy team took a belting on Friday by a team we beat comfortably a month ago.  With a match against Sydney scheduled for this Friday coming up, it seems that yet again we could be out of the finals race 'in straight sets'.

Last night we attended an evening with several others from the Community Association.  It was held locally at a private home.  Three of the four guys there are all home brewers so the discussion and activity had a certain 'beer focus'.  I may be having a quiet day off the beer today!

Now all the heavy stuff has been finished in the backyard, I have a belated appointment with the Chiro on Monday afternoon.  I think she has a bit of work to do.

Via Kodi, I am able to stream TV from anywhere in Australia so this afternoon I will keep an eye on the VFL footy live from Melbourne while I sit quietly in 'recovery mode'.

And then tonight it is time to complete watching Series three of Narcos, a superb TV series on our Kodi TV Box.
