Forever House #36

Western Sky

Eastern Sky

Hot and sweaty at the caravan table. I didn't get here until late today, close to seven. I spent the first while taking photographs of the evening sky and other splashes of colour and interest that caught my eye. 

Check out those closed in mud walls behind the rose

The rambling rose on the dunny has the sweetest pink flowers on it - I've never seen it with flowers before.







And, the long established jacaranda, at the site of the original homestead nearby the Forever House, was vibrant in it's contrast against the green of everything else.







There's been obvious rain; the newly positioned tank is full















and the usually dry pond (a situation I must rectify) has water in it, and everything else looks fresh and green again after all the dry weather.

The Reluctant Pond

Jeff was supposed to accompany me out here this weekend. He was going to get on with the wiring while I mudded . But our plans changed last minute. We've been gifted a quaint (good kitch) timber and gold velvet lounge by Jeff's parents who have recently moved and have been culling their belongings, especially things that don't suit the new modern unit.

We drove up beside a brewing storm to their place north of Brisbane yesterday afternoon to see and stay in the new abode, celebrate Jeff's sister's birthday, and relieve them of their petrol mower and garden tools. A win win situation. We should have towed the trailer when we thought further, about the lounge. They needed it gone.
We returned from Redcliffe this morning.


Jeff very kindly offered to hire a covered box trailer in case of bad weather, which is predictable lately , and is driving back up to Brisbane tomorrow to collect said lounge suite. Another win win for Jeffs parents and us. Although we'll be storing it for the interim (wherever we can make room at Tucki) , I think ti will be quite perfect in its eventual home.

I don't have a pic of the lounge yet - that will have to wait now till it goes out to the farm sometime in the not too distant future. There are two two-seaters and two one-seaters. It will suit the ecclectic feel of the House, as well as bring a touch of Jeff and his family into the biographical nature of the fixtures and fittings. Which I think adds to the Forever House-ness.
