| On Wednesday the boys cleaning up our backyard. I supervised! My hooded son and I also cleaned the road gutters in front of our house, but I didn't take a photo of that. |
 |
| That afternoon we baked. These are the pear-raisin muffins my 5 y.o. and I made. |

| Yesterday some guys (about 4) came and removed our upstairs toilet so that they could replace the whole tiled floor which was breaking up. They were incredibly tidy. Taping down these flowery sheets from the front door to the stairs and then upstairs on the landing outside the toilet. When they were done they vacuumed too. Can't tell you many Australian plumbers who'd do that! |
 |
| Yes, here is our upstairs toilet. It spent the night on the landing. |
 |
| And this is the toilet-room without the toilet. That hole was a little horrifying - and a little smelly! |

| And this was Daniel, our Mexican-US visitor. Last night we fed him an Australian meal: Pumpkin Soup with Pavlova for dessert. A Mexican from the US married to a Japanese lady, eating an Australian meal with Australians in Japan with a dessert that has a Russian name. International enough for you? |
Very international indeed! The world is becoming such a small place.
ReplyDeleteHope that toilet is fixed. That hole would give me nightmares!
Yes, the toilet is fixed. Much happier with the result. The previous tiles were shiny. They only looked clean just after you did it, then they looked awful the rest of the time. And the "Hole" is gone, submerged under water!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Aussie tradesmen could sure learn a thing or two from their Japanese counterparts!
