The Koala was back this weekend......well, not entirely sure it is the same koala




Very exciting to see such a beautiful animal up so close.  She was very relaxed around us, and even put on a climbing display to come closer towards us.  
The kitchen is nearly in at the house in Sandy Point.  It will all be painted by the weekend and new carpets go down in mid December.  The stone work top arrives and will be fitted on 13th December - so job nearly done!  
In one picture, you can see James and Philly on floor by new french doors (our new penguins - hand carved wooden).  We saw them in a shop on Saturday in Fish Creek and bought one, and the other looked so lonely on its own we went back to get it.  Don't worry we also have a Charlie and Petra, they are real though......possums who visit us in our courtyard when we are outside of an evening barbecuing!  They walk along the fence right above our heads! 
Don't ask why we named them after the family, none of you actually look like penguins or possums!?!
Yet to find a Chris and Rog - but will let you know when we do! 
Enough wittering, and here are the pics......

Very random selection of photos.......




My first attempt at uploading a kitesurfing video.....here goes.....


This is me kite surfing yesterday (Sunday), on a 10m kite.  Fantastic conditions and not another person for miles - bliss.   This beach is called Ned Neale's, and is 4 minutes walk from our house at Sandy Point.  Apologies for the wind sound, will work out how to put new sound over the top soon enough!

The house is coming along very well...





We have been working very hard and have laid the new timber floor.  It is a timber called Stringybark which is from NSW and is a type of eucalyptus.  We laid it in one day, well Paul really laid it, I did glue every board though, and help cut them.  I got a surfboard and a waterproof video camera for my birthday (and some beautiful diamond and silver earrings) so house renovations go on hold while I go surfing!!!  Here are a few shots of progress so far.......and Annabel who has been visiting for a week.
