Had wanted to mow a bit more but on late Thursday got a phone call from my brickie that he will come next week. So had a rethink of what had to be done before he comes.
On Friday started to pull down some walls in the carport but now in the front.





Cannot do this when the brickwork is done, have a chance that it will start cracking. When I had done a couple of sheets discovered that I needed a bin to put the rubbish in. Rang for a rubbish bin of 8 cubic metre. Got 2 of 4. He delivered before lunch. A friend came over we had lunch and started to clear out the carport. First we did all the electronics, TVs, VCRs, radio's, washing machines and then practically everything out of the carport.







We had spring washers every size there was from very small to very big. Out they all went. Have not been used since we live here and that is now 23 years. Cleared a lot out and it start looking much better.





Today is the 26th of January "Australia Day"


Australia Day, celebrated annually on 26 January, is the official national day of Australia, commemorating the establishment of the first European settlement on the continent of Australia. The date is that of the foundation of a British penal colony at Sydney Cove on Port Jackson, New South Wales, by Captain Arthur Phillip, who was to become the first Governor.[1] Australia Day is an official public holiday in all states and territories of Australia, and has also been known as Anniversary Day or Foundation Day.

On Australia Day each year, the Prime Minister announces the winner of the Australian of the Year award, presented to an Australian citizen who has shown a "significant contribution to the Australian community and nation", and is an "inspirational role model for the Australian community".[2] Subcategories of the award include "Young" and "Senior Australian of the Year", and an award for the "Australian Local Hero".

Have taken only the first 2 paragraphs.

At last I could start mowing today, was already for about an hour going , when i noticed my neighbour in the yard. Had not seen them coming in the front, they slipped through the fence. They have a little girl Lucy. They got the trampoline, bicycle and more things they can use. We had a look in the shed, garage and I have not finished yet with cleaning out. It looks to me that 8 cubic metre is not enough, need at least another 4 cubic metre bin.
