We couldn't wait to get away. Beat the peak hour rush and head for the hills.
Another reason we were excited was it was our youngest child's birthday
We found out upon entering the Shed that the Sofa was a sofa not a sofa bed.
For some reason I thought the sofa was a sofa bed.
Lucky there was cushions so I sent the night on the floor and Biffy was curled up on the sofa.
Next day was full of exploring our new environment.
We were all tired as we didn't get the best of sleep
Saturday was spent searching the Op shops in town to fill some missing kitchen pieces. In the afternoon, it was spent putting up the dovecot that Andrew had made. He felt he needed stamp the place with something from us.
Sunday was off to the market. Great place to find a few bargains. An axe for $15.00. The Shed didn't come with a flushing toilet or a shower. However it has a Dunny Can well a bucket. Ben says the toilet "isn't right"
The shower is a canvas bag that is filled with warm water (from the billy on the fire) then hung from a tree. I found a large slab of slate amongst the loads of things the previous owner had left to stand on. The toilet we can live with but the shower situation needs attention.
Sunday afternoon saw our first Bull-ant bite "jumping jack". I'm not surprised they are everywhere. In fact everything we pick-up has a bug or spider or ant on it. But thats the outdoors. We should be thankful for the healthy environment.
