Last two weeks.

Christmas was lovely.
My son and daughter in law were down from Brisbane.
We all went to my daughter and her partner's place for christmas dinner.
Salted chickens, roast vegetables and a very nice pudding.
But I did forget to take the camera so no pictures.
Pictures were taken and emailed to me, they were saved and put in a file but I have now lost them.
I had a dose of shingles and was not a happy chappy for a week or so,  they are very painful.
We are building a large cage for Derrick, my son had a cat enclosure for the cats over at his place he is selling so he has given it to us in pieces to modify for Derrick, I got pictures but who knows what it will end up like when finished.
Also pictures were taken of my sad bathroom, the spa is going,  just a shower unit, toilet and wash basin and some sort of storage system.
The spa was never used as not long after we started the bathroom we went into a very severe drought and water restrictions applied, silly thing it took masses of water to fill it up, a shower is always much easier and much quicker.

But I did have fun making a Japanese garden well sort or Oriental really.
This is on my pallet deck.

 Our new fellow is putting on weight.

 Christmas eve was seafood night, prawns fresh from the from the markets.

 Salmon for starters.

 these things with cheese melted on top all very yummy.

 My daughter in law did the cooking, always good to have the night off.

 Not sure what this is about, but the son likes to make faces, they take a while to grow up only 43 but we live in hope.

 I think she is dreaming.

 Still blooming they do last a long time.

 The new home for Derrick all I have to do is figure out how it goes.

 This is the door it's a big cage.

my poor bathroom

 This sand was sopping wet, most is scooped out now but everything has to be taken out but not till all is organised so we can still use the shower.

Sand everywhere.
