@Justis - I must compliment you - your home seems to sport a new feature every time I visit - and they are all good, even great! It is very pleasant now and I particularly like your ponds! I will get down to do some renos after I have finished my present project - will spend some time and money on the 'garden' which is looking o.k. now since it is spring time and nature comes to my rescue, but the dry summer shows me up in a bad way, as i do not want to waste too much water on my large block. Need to paint the tiles on the back verandah now - it's badly needed - I have though about getting those artificial boards laid which look like wood - but will start with the interior, which is mostly lino. .... and the garage needs a new front.
i woke up today having had a very pleasant last dream - almost like a message - an unknown poster on this thread very clearly told me the message that I was an o.k. human being (which I have been doubting for some time now . . . seeing all my bad luck etc. would happen only to a bad person) - I felt and feel amazing today! Thanks all on this thread too, for being good friends! Go well Taurisk
