Sunday Relaxing - Yeah Right!

Cover of "Sunday Morning"Cover of Sunday Morning
Hello all you Sunday campers, have a leisurely sleep in did we all?

Not bloody likely with our dogs. Apart from Bacci wanting to get up about 3am (we managed to ignore him) Missie then started around 6:30am (we ignored her too, well until 7am).

Seems cooler this morning than yesterday's very warm day, it was like winter one day and then summer the next, poor old spring seemed to get lost along the way until today.


We did manage to have a relaxing morning until 9am when we decided to put the camper up to take photos of the inside for the ad in the online trading post. Had to clean off a bit of dirt and dead flowers before we could take any photos.


James then got out the K'Archer water pressure cleaner to clean off all the mould and dirt on the roof. It took him three goes as the cleaner overheated a couple of times so he had to let it cool down before using it again.


It was a job well-done and I think the results speak for themselves.


 Before.....

 .... and after!
While he was busy doing that, I attempted to cement in a mosaic tiles pattern on the back steps leading onto the lawn. Unfortunately, the white cement was lumpy because we've had it a few months and some moisture got into it. I tried to work with it but it became very messy and too many lumps so eventually had to shovel all the white cement out and give up the project for now.

Next time I will use proper tiling grout, hopefully that will work better and be easier to work with as well.


After finishing the roof, James then replaced the mesh in the front screen door - only took a year to get around to doing after fixing it last time.  Last time he did it, we had Stan's dog come for the weekend and it took her one scratch to put a hole in the mesh. Then Toby decided to make the hole bigger so he could squeeze through.


It was none too soon because in the last couple of days the flies have invaded - we must have a couple of dozen permanently buzzing around the light in our lounge room.

 On a lighter note, here is a picture of my new candle holder, I thought it was a bargain as it only cost $18.00. I can't wait to see how it will look at night.


Have a great day!

Cheers,
