Loving Winter in Brisbane!

After spending 43 winters in Ballarat, I reckon I have had my fair share! It should come as no surprise to hear that we are finding our first winter in Brisbane, which as we keep hearing, is cold by their standards, to be quite pleasant. So mild in fact we have only used heating once for about three hours. After being berated by Karren when she got home, for being soft, I turned it off! I can honestly say I am not missing the icy mornings, lazy winds and miserable grey days at all.

We have had a little more work done on the pool, it is still not completed, read into that what you will!

Here is a little video of the pool lights in action...

Speaking of lights, I stumbled across this the other day and thought it worthy of sharing...

Brisbane City Lights

There seems to be an abundance of aerial photographers doing 360 degree images. I found a couple of the floods in 2011.

The following panorama is smack bang in the middle of the area I deliver mail to.

Kingfisher Park

It is a really nice area, with plenty of interesting people in the neighborhood a knight, plenty of doctors, and some lawyery types.

Karren and I have been very busy in the garden I have been concentrating on lawn irrigation - it is nearly complete. This weekend we plan to do more landscaping work, we need to hoe a garden area that was once grass and replant, then cut and lift some grass from the front garden and replant at the back, we'll see how successful that one will be! We will be hiring a rotary hoe and turf cutter to help with that task. Once that work is complete we will need to get a heap of mulch and spread it over the garden areas.

More posts to follow when the work is done!
