Been a long time

I can't believe it's been six months since I posted to my LJ.

RL has caught up with me for sure.

Well anyway, the building and renovation is all done - almost anyway. The tiles we chose were a creamy grey colout interspersed with small black shiny ones in an offset grid pattern.

The feature wall ended up garnet with 'rye bread' for the other walls - bright white enamel woodwork and curtains of a satiny creamy beige (garnet tassels). I will be posting some pics when I get time.

In the meantime I'm trying to catch up with the workload since all my staff (except one casual) have now left and it's just John and me doing all the work.

Still, it's interesting - and will help conserve the cash for a bit. We still owe the ATO about $20k at the moment with another BAS due end of the month so I guess things need to get better!!

The Georgette Heyer Booklist Challenges - #1

As a member of the Heyer-list I've enjoyed taking part in the monthly challenges and finally got up the guts to volunteer as a Challenger for October.

Just for interest's sake - and to keep a record of them where I can find them easily - I've decided to put my challenges onto LJ. I've done five so far and I'm enjoying it. Trying not to make them too hard but still hard enough to be challenging!

Here's the first one - anyone want to have a try at guessing:

( Challenge #1 )

Who are X and Y, which book - and why does Y think X has a few
kangaroos loose in the top paddock?

Heyer challenge #2

Possibly more difficult:

( Challenge #2 )

Who is X, what is Y, who is Z, which book - and why does X want Y so very badly?
