my first night

well we spent our first night at the house last night - Oh I am so in heaven - even the old house is growing on me - but the bathrooms are definetly the first on the reno list. - There is alot more room in there than I thought - except for no cupboards in one bedroom which we will have to fix.

Previous owner have been feeding the local birdlife so every afternoon about 5 there is alot of racket till you feed them and then it is red wine time and sit there and watch. Then of course the cows start bellowing for there food so have to feed them - such a different lifestyle.

The house is also alot cooler and has a wonderful breeze through it. Steve mowed the lawn last night to see how long it took and it is only 1.5hrs to do the lot so this is a good thing. I also tried to cook a lamb roast for our first night and with a new oven burnt the vegies to a black char - then had to put another lot in and then I am so used to gas stoves went to make the gravy and boil the peas and of course it took ten mins to get element hot - great oven though as it is only 12 months old - just will need to get used to it. So after all that we had dinner at 9pm - and then flopped exhuasted into bed.

Still have lots at the other house to move but we have two weeks so I am filling the car up every night till done and then luckily my mum is here next week and we will stick a/c on and clean the house which wont take that long as it was pretty clean anyway as we were having all the opens.

Fed the only chook there last night with peelings - will be a learning curve - found they dont like parsnip and obviously none of us had parsnip as mine was a black char in the roast.

Sorry kirsty still no photos and I am going riding tonight so probably wont get them on tonight either but I will try if not definatly tomorrow. Hope you are having fun on your holiday - I think Ashley is going to the beach with nana today.
