I am still on the highest high after running the marathon. I had really forgotten the elation one feels having achieved that goal and fulfilled that dream. I resisted the temptation to tell jokes! I did not tell ANY jokes during the marathon. But it was a magnificent day with the Balloons Aloft high in the sky (see Speedy Goose, there were balloons! One even stopped down on the lake shore near the marathoners so the occupants could take photos!)

Re-screwed

I have been busy lately. We have just installed a new fireplace, the old one being a govie-original from 1972; and had the ceiling in the kitchen and lounge room rescrewed & sanded ready for a new kitchen installation. Before that happens, the next task will be to knock out part of a wall between the kitchen and lounge room. Actually the living areas have never looked so tidy!

The ceiling was up to 8cm out in a couple of places!
