The front of the property had a tidy up this week. The pillars were given a coat of paint and the name, 'Brookway' was repainted. It just needs the number of the road, '1,' to be stuck above the name now, so people can find us more easily!
The outside has now been finished and it looks much cleaner and brighter.
We spent the weekend scrubbing floors. Ouch, we both have sore hands and knees now!
Then, 'someone' spent a good hour trying to work out how this fitted together!
It was amusing watching it, though!
Sidney felt it was safer to sleep through it all!
We also managed to get the curtains back up at the windows, and we are having a double bed, fridge and microwave oven delivered today, so it should look more a cottage that can be lived in.
Whilst working outside yesterday, Steve came across this. Apparently, it is known as a milkwood locust, or sometimes also called an African bush grasshopper.
Mango and Sidney were helping us clean out the chicken coops last weekend and Sidney decided she would hitch a lift to the compost heap! Well, you never know what might still be in all that straw!
Sidney did do well, though, as soon after her excursion to the compost heap, she found this little guy digging its way into the sandy earth. She didn't touch it but we removed it on to some land outside of our property! No doubt, it will find its way back soon!
