Gayle's Inexplicable Musings & Rambling Rants

Aching from top-to-toe this morning. Argh. Don’t think my feet and legs will ever be the same. Stephen’s move over the week was massive. We hired a small three tonne truck to take his boxes, bed, chest of drawers and loads more over to his new digs.

Here are some pix from the day:

Treadmill moving continued. Huge job!

Larry’s dad’s 80th Birthday party was on Saturday night. Here are a few pix from the event.

Fooling around with some fancy schmancy software and came up with this. Our Wedding. December 16, 1978.

Presents galore!, originally uploaded by GayleH.

We were invited for a weekend trip to Sydney by Larry’s employer to enjoy Christmas dinner with colleagues. The venue: The Q-Station in Sydney, a heritage listed quarantine station with spectacular views. In the morning, we took off to view the sights of Sydney!

While I’m posting here should probably upload some photos of our newest changes in the house. Essentially we just bought a new entertainment unit for the TV to sit on in the living room, but that led to the existing unit being repurposed and changing the dining room as well. You know how these things happen, one thing leads to another and there is chaos. Which there was. But it’s all tidy and neat now.

Finished product. The dining room cabinet was made by two "towers" in the old entertainment unit. The shelves were discarded, the middle part of the unit moved upstairs and the two "towers" came together nicely to form a display cabinet. Who says we're not thrifty?

Moved around lamps and things in the living room and that now looks comfortable.

The shelves shown in the corner, used to be in the dining room and now house all our dvds. They are categorised and in a database for easy retrieval.

Before then, came chaos….

Stuff was unloaded from everywhere and dumped on the table. Ugh where to start?

things in the living room weren't much better with TV on the floor, cables galore and junk everywhere from emptying the old unit.

This is the new entertainment unit getting set up with equipment.

Long time between posts. Meh, it’s all Twitter and Facebook for me these days. However this is a bit of a better lasting memory for photos, so here are my beautiful long-stemmed roses Larry sent me for our anniversary this year. Our 31st Anniversary! Can you believe it? Shock/surprising and all that. Especially as I’m only 29. Anyway, without any further ado here are my gorgeous flowers.

This year I managed to get the Christmas tree up with military precision. 15 minutes and the job is done. Why is December the busiest month? I never get to do a leisurely tree dressing! Sent from Gayle’s Blackberry….
