Yesterday Annelies published a part of her hear, see and speak no evil figurines. After reading this it suddenly dawned on me that I had a figurine like that too.
Here is mine.



Under the figurine is the part of the gollyquilt I am now doing.

Haven been busy this week with getting quotes for tiling of the bathroom and laundry.
What a difference in pricing.

Lots of tiles are already gone from the walls but one side is very difficult.
The tiles are breaking up and have to use the chisel and the board is getting damaged.



You can see the damage.



The left side will also be difficult to remove. The rightside is very easy to do.

Will see that I can get some one who can replace the whole wall.

It's awhile that I have been writing here. Have been quite busy. Have been selling raffle tickets again for breast cancer research and we sold for $84 in the morning.
There was an interview on the dutch radio about my time here in Australia.
Have been working on my gollywog and finished kit 8.



Had a meeting again with the BWB ladies. We went to Moogerah dam. The lake had a lot more water then the last time(November 2007) I was there.



We had a lot of rain and also at Moogerah it has been raining.



There was a lot of food with our morning tea. We bring a plate with us, when we go somewhere, unless we go to a coffee shop.

Have been mowing however when I wanted to use a big ride-on, I had first to charge it up before I could start it. Got fed up with that, the battery came out, took it with me and bought a new one. Put it on the ride-on. Can mow again.
Have been using the brush cutter on the dam, the grass was very high, it came to my knees. after that mowing with the hand mower and it looks great.


Did a bit of knitting. Finished a couple of patterns.



This is pattern 13.

Have not done a lot, needed a break from mowing and gardening.
Last Thursday had to go to the skin cancer clinic for a checkup, the doctor found nothing. Put the last scene from kit 8 on the golliwog quilt. It took me 3 months to do this one. Will work more on this quilt, had planned to have it finished within a year when I started, but how can plans work out differently.

Queensland is in election mode not for the State government or federal but local councils. We will be going to Logan City Council and the division were I live, needs a new councillor. One of my neighbours is running for council. Only thing I cannot vote, still not naturalised, maybe in future.

Here in Australia we have more politicians then anywhere else. Too much government. There is Federal, State and local government.
The system they use, is so complicated, have problems to understand it. It is district representation. You have first, second, third etc etc choice. You have to number every person on the ballotpaper.
The votes are sorted first on the first choice. Then they start looking at the second choice. So someone, people are voting for and is in second place can still win because he get then second choice. So it goes with all the votes till they have a winner.

This is doing the rounds at the moment with those forward emails. Don't you love them!!!!!!!!!
