Deforested

Finally got rid of the forest that had grown on my legs, so now I'm back to being comfortable in short skirts and dresses.

I've a t-shirt dress size 12 (an 8 in the USA) that I haven't worn in a while, but after watching all the young women visiting a party house up the road last night, I realized my dress is about normal length for parties. It's early, who's to say I wasn't dressed for the party as well?

I got the "good morning sir" routine, grrrr.
Welcome to my world
In my head I was female - maybe next life I'll get a female body, or maybe it was in the last life, I had a female body? Still, life wasn't meant to be serious.

In New Zealand - it is illegal for home handymen to install plumbing in their own homes (or anywhere) due to people fitting dead end pipes or just bad connections

Professional plumber who certifies his own work below, I don't know any reason why a plumber would point the pipes away from the water source, but he's done it a few times in this house.
Thanks whoever you are, your professional work has destroyed a $2,000 wooden floor and a 6 x 8 meter carpet (loved the sellotape covering the slow leak from a bad weld - classic).

Non-professional (home owner) work below, but unable to be certified 

Quoted cost for the whole bathroom plumbing $2,400.

My cost $120 + 3 hours labour (saving approx $2,000)

But wait - your here for the leg shots ya?
So again just for you.............















SUNDAY
and still time to dress pretty, have coffee
then head to the gym to work on my guns

Busy day

Such a lot to do, so little time

First thing - COFFEE

Second - pick up parcel from courier company (daughters trendy t-shirt)
3rd to early for shops so a quick change of tops and a photo op around rose garden and museum

 

4th - head to St Lukes Shopping center to check their fashion range

In town at K rd. In just 10 hours after my coffee this place is going to be crowded with trans gendered people and other spectators as we have the LGBT gay parade this evening (the rainbow flag symbolizes the LGBT community).
But I'm just here waiting for 10 am so I can buy a pressure gauge from a surplus shop.

 

The day is getting hot and humid, so a quick change to something cooler before heading to Bunnings to get parts to connect my new gauge to the house water pipes.

 

Days blurring into routine

I really need something new
Weekdays is work, after hours is house renovations, weekends is renovations.

That leaves me with 2 or 3 hours in the early hours of 1 weekend day.
For coffee followed and a gym workout
It might have been raining for the last 2 days, but it's still muggy hot here.

 

I really feel the need to do something a bit more OUT going

quiet weekend

Thursday 1st Feb.
I've got a bit of time off as we have a public holiday on the 6th, so I decided to add a few days of annual leave (we get 20 days per year) to really enjoy our public holiday.
So Thursday I did an hour at the pools

And followed that up with some late night shopping at a busy Sylvia Park shopping mall (we have had a few days with wild weather, storms, rain, blistering heat, but this night was good for stockings and boots).

The weekend however, was days in the bush, tramping, growing a beard, seeing great scenery and testing my $70 drone
