AND THE SUN WON

The sun soon dispensed of the fog.

The warmth soon rolled the fog away.

Bringing brightness to the day.

And the birds too.

The Crows rose up - squawking!

And the Willy Wag Tails hopped about in the dewy morning - chirping.

The promise of a fine and..

Sunshiney (is that a word?) Day!

PS: Didn't have to wash those window's again! :)

Yep - I sure do have a pantry...

But first, I have a bath, I'm preparing for my first bath in my new bath!
It was DELICIOUS!!! :) and full of Radox salts to soak away the aches of a day moving and cleaning!!

But about the panty - it's straight off the kitchen, this photo is taken almost at the pantry door looking south towards the ocean (you can't see the ocean because the blinds are down!).
...so come right in...
and take a look around!
Lots of cupboards and shelves
and more........cupboards and shelves and a couple of bins - they are great bins! There's a story behind them there bins!
It's not just a pantry, it's a store room for the upstairs area too.
Office above.
Master bedroom (with ensuite in the back ground)
My robe below, Allan has his own elsewhere!!

Today our lounges arrived and with a little help from some friends.....actually a lot of friends.

The stairs were moved back to bring up the furniture. These stairs have been moved back and forth on several occasions usually with just 4 or 5 people to help - this has meant hernia's, back ache and other ailments that can't be mentioned! So this time Allan enlisted at least 10 men to help move the stairs and carry the lounges up and over the balcony

It was very successful and a lot less stressful than previous occasions when there has been just a few helpers!!!



So, here is the new lounge(s), not particularly beautiful but particularly comfortable!!
It took a whole weekend to choose between something that looked like it came out of a "Beautiful Homes" magazine but not particularly comfortable and this one that is not particularly beautiful, but amazingly comfortable.

We thought at this time of life, we needed to put comfort before beauty! We chose comfort.

And speaking of a little help from our friends, here's Rick helping dad put his bedroom furniture back together.

Thanks Friends!!
