One of the big decisions for the renovation was whether to put in a fire. We don’t really need one for heating, but we liked the idea of one for coziness. We tossed up between gas (expensive, polluting) and electric (cheaper, less heat, not as pretty) before landing on a portable ethanol fireplace. It arrived today, and as luck would have it, it’s a perfect cold, grey, rainy Sydney Autumn day. This is pretty nice… 🔥

Week 7: Now that the plumbing fixtures are in, rendering can start! The builders have started covering up the bare brick and concrete, and patching where they chased in cables and pipes. We also decided to remove the visible cornice in the kitchen, so it’ll be gone everywhere except for our offices and the storage closet. They also put in the wiring for our feature lights in the living room. But even more exciting to me is the fact that the scaffolding on the Unilodge building at Broadway is finally GONE, after like 10 years I swear! 😍🏠 #renovation

I was looking ahead at our shared Google Calendar for July when I noticed a new event on there… 😂❤️ (Aussies may want to take note.) #australia #eclipse

Finally made it over to the Cooks River. It’s not exactly the Isar, but it’ll do.

LONDOMERS – We were just watching Grand Designs (series 15, episode 2) which had a brief bit at the Globe Theatre. “I stood on that stage,” I said to Rodd, and two seconds later screeched, “HOLY SHIT THAT WAS OUR TEACHER.” That was him, right Elizabeth McKillop??!!
