OK it was only 6 degrees outside but it was calm before the Monday storm.
Note The IBM Tower next to HWT Tower ( I work on Level 14 most of the time).
Melbourne on a quiet morning
While heading to Work this morning I was slowed down by how quiet it was on the riverbank.
OK it was only 6 degrees outside but it was calm before the Monday storm.

I know it's late but Easter was a quiet Family Affair this year.
We only purchased Easter eggs for Family members only due to the budget being so tight this year.

As you can see we had enough.......
Front Deck finished
At last the front Deck is finished, now I just need to get on with the garden.
The deck as you can see in the photos now has an extra post in the front, I was not going to pay the builder $2000 to install a post that cost us $128.00 and 2 hours for Stephan and me to install.
As you can see in this photo, The edge is what call a raw edge. All the boards were from recycled timber 200x45, so they all need to be dressed, routed, cut, predrilled and then finally painted before being screwed into place. Then they were oiled once in place. It took a lot of work and a lot long then planned to do. We are using the same process for the front garden, Oh and the Mailbox is the same as the deck. The neighbours are impressed and it looks like a very expensive job but it cost less then $1000 to do.

Now the garden design is coming together. we aiming for the bushy Australian look. Post, stones and rail all black except for the only colour coming from the garden plants. Lets see how that comes along.
Brisbane Ranges
We went to the Brisbane ranges last weekend.
Due to my car having to go in for servicing for the brakes. We took Jennifer's car.
Bad move, the dirt tracks(they try to call them roads) were very dusty and the car needed the dirt scrubbed off it when we got back. We saw very little bird life and the scenery didn't change much

Big Crab at the market
At the market, we occasionally see strange things. But this one is a crab. A very large crab.
It was still alive and note the normal sized crab on the left side of him. And NO we did not buy him.

RAAF Museum Melbourne
Well just to the south of us is the RAAF Museum, it only about 1.5 Km away as the crow flies or should I say as the Planes fly.
The museum has regular flying display most weekends. Today it the turns for the De Havillands, Mustang and Douglas Boston planes. All have large noisy engines but they are beautiful aircraft.
And being so close, they fly low of us on a regular basis. Stephan and Myself like the planes and the noise they make. The girls couldn't care less.
