In Memorium: Henry Kielich

Posted by Wanda Lach on Thursday, December 22, 2016,
10 days ago we said our farewells to our dear friend, Weisa. Today we have said our farewells to her brother Henry. It seems hardly possible that he has also gone from our lives so unexpectedly.
On our return journey from Weisa's funeral we stopped to see her brother, Henry, in hospital.  He was admitted the day before his sister died. The person we had known all our lives was not the same one that lay on that hospital bed. His spirit had already gone it seems, gone with his much loved sister....

In Memoriam: Krystyna Kielich

Posted by Wanda Lach on Sunday, December 4, 2016, In : Family 

Our dearest friend has gone from our lives and become a cherished memory.

She gave her all and more, loved her family and friends without reservation.

We shake our fists in anger, we wipe our tears from our cheeks, we drop our head in resignation.

A life snuffed out too early, taken by that insidious disease.

She was so positive, even when things did not turn out as expected she saw only the positive sides.

Then, of course, these workers will be taking some well deserved time off. None of this is of any use to us mere mortals...

We have finally found some gyprockers  in Canberra and they seem to be good workers and have many years experience.  We have our fingers crossed!

Today the temperatures plummeted - cloudy, cool - very cool and damp - must have been a few snowflakes up on the high peaks for sure.

We had some visitors - Rob & Sandra came for a drive with Bella and took a tour of the house and gave us a great reason to take time off - great guests who brought lunch and some great wine - thank you!

Back in the warmth of our home away from Sally Supreme we have the fire going, the doggies fed and can hopefully relax for a while in front of the tele (thank you Cathy & Angus!)

1st row: the plumbers needed to flush out the drains and test their plumbing...so down to the dam to fill up the cube, Charles decided to wash the car too - at least he managed to clean off some of the mud on one side! lol. 

Now there's a problem - flat tyre on the trailer when it's got a full load of water on board, lucky the hydraulic jack was in the garage :) (not so lucky for Justin when he had a flat tyre at home and Kk had to change it and found the jack was bu**ered!

The trench to the builder's outhouse?

2nd Row: No, it's not some alien worm... it's our alternate heating source for the bedrooms - hot air trapped in the apex of the mezannine is pumped into the bedroom below (hadn't been put in place in this pic)

3rd row: velux windows being put in and the finished front veranda roof  - even has my initial :)

4th & 5th rows: more veranda and velux window

6th row: Shed site  from the new velux window and our lovely rainwater tank before the downpipes were connected.
