This morning I decided to clean my car, using grey water for the washing part of the job. I needed to clean my curtains, to reduce dust mite load, so I used the rince water from that.
Alas, I discovered that a large number of the dirt spots on the car bonnet were actually stone chips. So I have just spent about half an hour with a bottle of touch up paint, filling in stone chips. The bonnet now looks a little bit blotchy, but at least is now protected from rust.

New Year
So, it's a new year! And I finally finished blogging about the NT trip :) Only about seven months after the fact.
I have been on holiday last week and this week, hence the increased number of posts.
It has been a productive break. I have caught up with family and friends for Christmas and New Years Eve.
I have finished painting the eaves along the east side of the house. I still have glass to replace in two of the windows, and the wall to paint, and that side will be finished. I have replaced a window pane on the south side of the house. I have taken up four curtain drops, so they now are the right length for this house, instead of the last house I was living in. I have drilled holes in four pieces of wood that I need for installing a drawer in the kitchen, and have painted them. I have finished the tiling in the bathroom, including painting around the edges of the tiles, and coating them with tile sealer. I have made a start on installing a new awning on the north side of the house.
I did a day trip to Werribee Park Mansion, which mum tells me that I have been to before, but I was so young I don't remember. If I feel enthused then I may blog with more details over the next few days.
Either way, welcome 2009!
