After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Awww Punchy it's sad alright just as well he doesn't really understand what the heck is happening he would be so embarrassed, I hope he's feeling better tomorrow, his love of watching the birds made me smile.
Nothing too exciting Bushy, everyone except DEB has behaved. 
It's coming along slowly, a few hitches with plumbing and needing this and that and this which means Mr F camping at Bunnings most of the day 
Bushy, it's so frustrating when people try to avoid doing the right thing. I'm giving Carpet Craft till Monday to make contact and to make arrangements to remove this faulty vinyl or I contact Fair Trading and let them sort them out. I hope the Building Inspector gives your builder the get and do the job properly card.
Me misbehave? ***adjusts halo***
I like the look of that stove punchie.
I should formally thank Sandy very, very much for posting my piccie on Richo's Retirement. I also envy the photo of the farm dam and its wonderful surrounds.
It has been fun reading your threads today and the bit of fun running around eating vanilla slices, the "mermaids" pool, blueys place, and dinner with Freddie with the compliments of the RE.
Somebody mentioned about Bushies, Debra's and others' roses. Unfortunately, I live in an area that is not really suitable for roses - too humid and woeful soil - and I'm really adverse to being pricked by the thorns now as my skin has become paper-thin and I bleed profusely. So I enjoy seeing their wonderful piccies and I am proud to share my little bit of knowledge of roses.
You are justified in following up on your dissatisfaction with the stumping Bushie, that's a substantial amount of money. Oh, and the little cane table looks so different. Well done. Is it to go on the front verandah?
Freddie, I didn't get back to you re the succulents, but it looks as though you've arrived with a solution with Stawka's selection.
Off to watch Frost, night all.
DEB
Freddie, given how much you are spending there,worth asking them if they have a card. Mitre 10 brought theirs in AFTER we had bought our kitchen from them ๐
Amber Its the rotten bad tradies that give the others a bad name. We have a great plumber and sparky which make life easier. Mr B can does heaps himself which is a great saving. The council won't allow you to restump yourself and see what they used I can understand why.
DEB, I havent really bothered with roses until my last house and no where near as many as I have here. The climate here is hot and dry through summer ( not good for bushfires ) and the roses seem to love it. Yes, the table is not on the verandah with a potted geranium sitting on it. I am banned from putting any more tables out there, Mr B feels I have a table "fetish" 'cause tables keeping appearing out there lol
Debra, sorry I meant to mention your black boy rose, it's stunning :), the lace work is gorgeous as well. I have put it on my list for next yr, Mr B can buy me 1 for my b/day lol
This one has finally flowered, it's one of my favs, haven't a clue what it is called, anyone know pls?

I managed to get a couple of pics late yesterday, one of my "pot" roses - the pink one, and one called (i think) Apricot Dream. It tends to get straggly so need so be pruned hard!
I have a red rose that no-one can name too - it was growing in an old cement laundry tub outside the back door of the first house we bought 30ish years ago... stunning smell! No flowers on it atm, but I'll try to get a pic of it when it next blooms.
