greetings from the south coast

Hi all
Happy birthday Moo.
So last day of my weeks holiday, and what a beauty it has been. Annie and I had an awesome time in Tassie. The Mona was incredible, not just the art, but the whole architecture and construction of that place, and the trip up the Derwent river to get there. Not to mention the wine tasting!!
Then a whole day at the Salamanca Markets, which was bliss. Managed to try a scallop pie, which is on the must do list for the market, as well as spending a heap of money on some beautiful treasures, including jewellery, clothes, and even the first item for Connors Christmas present.
And did I mention food. We ate our way through Hobart. We balanced the eating with a lot of walking.
Then in rental car out to Bruny Island to our little cottage in the bush. What a beautiful place. I did take my swimmers with the intention of swimming in the heated swimming pool at Rydges, but it was empty, or even a dip in the ocean. The sea looked very inviting and warm, but the truth was it was only 10degrees, so I gave it a miss.
Amazing how a few days away can seem much longer. Change of geography is a good thing. I want to go back!!
A quiet weekend back home, in the garden and the beach. 20 degrees yesterday, and warm enough for a paddle in the ocean.
This morning Ive just been hanging out with the chooks and drinking chai. Ive got the kiln fired up for some friends, so it will be a day at home,and should probably finish the painting of the deck timber.
So I just pick a photo or 2 from out Tassie trip...
 
 
One thing we really had fun with was the fold down bed in Hobart. Annie's got the video,but I couldn't remember how to video on my camera, so had to make do with several photos. We had hours of fun with this. I think it is the prefect solution for small spaces ( like our house).
Ok, will sign off now. Moo hope that parcel gets to you soon, we will have to be more organised next year. Time to get a paint brush in my hand.
Love to you all, Zak
