I can not believe how fast this month has gone, to keep it short and sweet here is what I've been up to...we went away for Easter, camping at Nundle which was a lovely little country town (and have already booked for next year), had a birthday (although am trying to forget them now!!), finished painting the hallway and a few other things around the house and pretty much working my butt off at my day job. The word exhausted doesn't even cut it!!

Thank you to those that responded to my Kitchen door knob post...I went with the dark ones and what a difference that little change made.

Thought I'd share some photos from our around the house today.

Slowly making progress on the backyard...grass is starting to knit together nicely (and no wonder with the weird weather we have been having, torrential down pour one day and 35 degrees the next!). I have finished the garden edging and partly prepared the soil for planting. I've actually enjoyed working outside these past couple of weekends, it makes a nice change from the never ending painting of the inside...which still isn't finished!

The arch is going in this weekend and I plan on growing either climbing roses or jasmine over it, something similar to the last photo.
