Nice pics Jo, I'll have to try to get some up in Toc over the river.
Today was one of those days, started off good, turned shit, then back to good.
Up this morning, did a 3km walk and some weights before breakfast, feeling good, had a shower before getting breakfast, turned off the hot tap, gave it that little extra tightness to make sure no drips, it went through off and kept going and water was coming out again. The fkn spindle is stripped, I can't turn it off. Get out of shower, dry quickly, throw some clothes on, get out the front to turn the water off at the mains while the steam from the shower sets of the smoke alarm. FML . Went looking through the shed and cupboard for a spare spindle, I'm sure I had several somewhere, couldn't find them, had to go to the hardware store to buy one, then replace the busted one which had it's own challenges as when I resurfaced the shower a few years back, the spindles were in place and I didn't leave space for changing them.
Fixed that, missed breakfast, subway for lunch then got to work down the west side of the house. Picked up some linseed oil putty last bunnings trip so I got onto the old windows where the putty had dried and fallen out and replaced it. bit of tidying up of the windows, then scraped the old weatherboards with the great old paint scraper I found looking for spindles, and got some painting done. Singlet on, sunshine, brilliant. I can't cope with cold cloudy days.
Got the equivalent of nearly one room wall done (there's 5 rooms down that wall)with the small roller before I spat the dummy and went and bought some 100mm brushes. Get some more done tomorrow

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Great photos TP!
Lovely walk through Woodlands Park - the sun was glorious! Took some lunch and sat up on Gellibrand Hill looking over a dead quite airport and Melbourne city without the usual brown haze hanging over it. Usually lots of skippys lounging around not many today - probably too many humans back upsetting the tranquility!

Second ride this week to Mordialloc and back. Leisurely ride, 5 of us on Beach Road. A bit cold this morning but warmed up soon enough.
At home helped Mrs WPT to dig a trench about a shovel deep next to the chicken coop and run so we can attach wire to the edge of the coop / run then lay it in the trench to prevent rodents and predators from getting in.
Lovely day while on my last week of leave
