Twice as good

After a busy weekend with the Retreat and a hectic few weeks ahead of me with AQC, we took a few days off and headed to Melbourne on Tuesday. We had a few jobs on our list to do and a visit to Artisan Bottega in North Melbourne was one of them. We both love this place, so on Wednesday we visited the Epping store as well......lol!

On Tuesday night we went and watched Hannah play in her Netball grand final, a sport that she has only taken up in the last few years. She loves it and is very good, but unfortunately didn't come out winners on the night.

While Hannah was at work on the Wednesday, we kept busy checking out the new Costco at Epping....that filled in an hour or three! Afternoon tea at the Golf Club involved this Splice Freak Shake, an iced donut and me not requiring any dinner.

Hannah asked if I could set up her sewing machine (a Christmas present from us in 2017) in her sewing room in her new house. Yes she is finally in it! It's a huge house and I joked that I was too scared to leave our bedroom because I would get lost......lol! Here is a picture of me waiting for Hannah in the 'reception area' (Russell named it this) at the front door.......bahahaha

And I told her that I didn't think much of her magazines........lol!

Wednesday night while Hannah and I headed off to see Muriel's Wedding in the city.......she had won 2 free tickets via a Melbourne Renegades Competition and decided to take her mum.....aawwww,

Russell settled in to watch a movie in the theatre room.

....but unfortunately he pressed the wrong button, couldn't get it working again and ended up having to watch Netflix on his phone........talk about extremes of screens!

As we left on Thursday morning, Hannah went one way to work and we headed the other to home. It was lovely to have a couple of days away and to finally see her new home finished.....well almost. There is a lot of landscaping works to do and I am 100 per cent sure that we will be back to lend a hand when the time comes.

A little postscript to my blog post of a few days ago about my Josephine Lily, I checked it out when I got home and couldn't believe how tall the spike had grown.
