On Monday I went to buy a "weedeater" to trim the edges of the grass. The first one wouldn't work so I took it back and got another. I must admit, tie section looks much better now with the edges trimmed.

I managed to clean the old paint off the Northern wall, and primed and painted it, in short sessions to avoid the heat. That is, only the top half of the wall. It is to  make it easier when we get around to the veranda.

You will notice, I start many jobs, and finish few. That is because we have so much to do, and to avoid boredom.

Wednesday was very hot, and I decided to work inside. There is a rumor going around that insurance will refuse to  pay a claim in case of a fire if there is any scrim (hessian) on the walls. So I tackled the last room and the passageway.  Just wondering why we didn't do it long ago. It looks so much better now. While I was at it, I removed some sarking boards in the area  where we plan to extend the kirchen. See, another new job started!!

Thursday was a day off, we visited James and Wendy. We had a lovely time. Friday we made our regular visit to the good Doctor for the next three months medicine. Just imagine how shocked I was! The cost of a prescription has gone up. It is now $5 instead of the regular $3. Thank God we are living in a country that supports is old and sick people.

Well, that is all I can report on, see you again next week
