You are kidding me. Delivered and installed at 0700. Surely you do not live in Australia. LOL What store was that? I will definitely  want to shop there.

That is a real  OMG moment to think a store from Cairns delivered a washing machines to you at 0700. Was that Hardly Normal?  Cairns to my  house in Caravonica  about 15 minute away can take three days, cost at least $50 and they can never ever come first thing in the morning.
 
Lucky girl.

I just had retic installed.  They started on Tuesday and it is all finished today.  Not really shopping but close.  Next I am going to refurbish my laundry.

Just returned from a week down South for hubby's 60th and we bought quite a bit of wine from Wills Domain, Howard Park and Cape Mentelle.  DH also bought some scales and nearly had a fit when he saw how much he weighed!

I love Howard Park wines.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I'd love to ditto too but I don't drink red - only sweet whites and any cocktail you'd like to make me  ;)

I only drink bubbles, can't handle any reds.  :)

Today I picked up the kaffir lime tree that I ordered.  I also bought a bay tree too, so will have no worries now when needing either of these 2 things, and unlike waiting for fruit to grow, the leaves are there already.  ;D

Too true Julie, I have a bay tree and it's lovely to be able to just walk outside and pick one or two plus give boughs away to friends who dry them.  I prefer fresh to anything dried though.  Was the kaffir lime tree expensive?  For the limited use I would get from it and probably not too many who would be interested in receiving the leaves for their cooking, I think it is probably not necessary.
