Saturday

 It was a glorious morning yesterday

The view from Hill House
at about 9:00

So I went to the Lakeside Market. It was a considerable improvement on the previous market day, which was wet, cold and horrible with few visitors and few stalls. I got there just after 9:30 and it was packed, plus there were LOTS of stalls

I bought some tomatoes and some meat, some raspberries and some blueberries. I had a wander around. I bought a chicken shish for brunch and went and sat by the lake to eat it

I had a stroll around the Piper's end of the lake. It was still and quiet and peaceful. There were people around but it was still quite early so the large groups and activities hadn't arrived yet. People were strolling or sitting or eating and drinking. The birds were enjoying the sunshine

I came back to Hill House via Wilson's where I bought some vegetables. I had fruit toast for afternoon tea and did some more organising of my stuff. Is it coming to the new place? Yes - then into this box. No? Then either into what will probably be the last box to go to the Lion's shop in Buninyong, or into the skip.

It was a beautiful afternoon and quite warm for August. It held a strong promise of spring. So I opened the door between the kitchen and the lounge ends of the houses and opened the front door to let some air in since I didn't have the heating on.

Brandy and Whiskey thought this was a bit good!

(Whiskey was also looking out but every time I got my phone up to take his photo, he moved away!)

It was a lovely day. Relaxed, calm, peaceful. And sunny!

The estate agency that I used to sell Tani sent me some flowers on settlement day

So kind. I love flowers

And the new owner hasn't mucked about. It's already on the market as a rental. I thought they might at least paint inside. It was looking a bit tired once I moved all my things out.
