The BAT in the lounge room.

So with holidays off the agenda for awhile, I suggested to Warren that we replace our TV. It had been playing up a bit for some time. No ABC unless we rerouted it through the set top box.

The plan had been to wait until next year. We had checked out prices and sizes a few months ago so we knew what was what.

During our time together, we have always bought things quickly but we decided we should check the three different places in our area that sold Tv's. We also decided to look for two new chairs.

Four hours later with our heads reeling with information, we went back to one place to sit in the chairs again. That was it, we put down a deposit, downside was the one we wanted was not available for six weeks.

Next was TV, we couldn't face continuing so went home for a very late lunch. Warren went back the next day to collect the TV we had chosen. They had sold out so he went with a different brand and got a bigger screen for less money. Warranty etc was the same. So far so good.

Old tv removed.

New TV installed. It had now been mounted on the wall and painting hooks removed. Had to name the TV so as to have some features start working, its name Big Assed Tv or BAT for short.
Warren listed old tv for sale and it was gone in 40  minutes some guy wanted to play netflix through it so wasnt concerned about no abc.

Dinner

The other day Coles had an advert on TV using one of the local chefs with his two daughters.

It looked yummy and easy so I made it last night. Don't thin there was a recipe as such. 

A sheet of pantry, spread with pizza sauce which I just happened to have some then topped with tomatoes and zucchini olive oil salt and pepper.

It went well with pork chops and enough left over for lunch today.

Warren's turn to cook tonight so he has gone to collect fish and chips!

Trees

I find trees fascinating, no two are the same.

 Such a straight tree with almost no bark and then the one to the right is so white.
In the same park were these were ivy growing up them.

Walking out in the sunshine

Been north of the township a couple of times since our resistrictions have been loosened.

We are trying to meet a challenge of finding a cache on every calendar day. Things were going well with Feb and March completed. In April we only had one to find on 24 April but we didnt go out because then it was only allowed out for grocery shopping, doctors or other essential.

In May we have/ had ten dates empty and already we have filled three of them.

Luckily for us, there are another two caches up this walk.

Freedom!

Yesterday was the first day of our stay at home restrictions being lightened. From midnight, we can go for a drive within 50kms from home, go to the beach or a national park, social distancing is still in place. Can have up to two people visit.

Sheridan drove up to have lunch with us. After lunch I was going to watch Netflix while Warren had a snooze. Well, great plans which fell in a heap as I couldnt get my phone to connect to the TV so I read my book but could feel that I wanted to go somewhere. Spotlight it was, even though I didn't need anything but I had read a pattern for a monkey and of course I didn't have brown wool.

It was nice to be able to drive out and see other people. Grabbed some extra wool that I thought would be good for slippers as the weather is getting cooler at night.
Finished the second one tonight.

 

The Touch up guy!

So the guy came a couple of days ago and worked on the car in the garage. We just needed to angle it in a bit different and give him access to power point.

He arrived at 7.30am and worked until about 10.30am.
This was the result.

From this.

Could not be happier. The quote was for $330 and that was what we were charged.

Oops!

A couple of months ago we were out to lunch. We walked back to the car which was parked down the hill a bit.

We both saw it at the same time.

Somebody has hit us!
Realised that the car on the left had been there when we parked so couldn't have been them. Driving home we must have both been thinking about it and then Warren said that he thought it may have happening when we had the trailer on behind a couple of weeks earlier. Thank goodness it wasn't me.

Repair guy was in the street and Warren asked him to have a look and cost it out.

Stay tuned for the next installment.
