Xmas Dinner prep

Annie came to help K.

Xmas at the Station

The Devonport Station Xmas party was fancy dress! Come as a movie character.
Katherine was inspired by Memoirs of a Geisha, but I am not sure which part she dressed up as!



I dressed up as Stalone in Cliffhanger, and I have no pic of myself yet. This picture was taken after I borrowed Wilma Flintstone's wig!

Very merry happy

Not sure how Santa found us...

The Great Afullah Rules

What do I see! How dare that neighbour cat jump its' fence!

I shall chase you away you little critter...


Ooh, you are supposed to run or fight! Don't you look cute at me Oscar!


This freaks me out, I better run home fast and go hide behind Walter....

Welcome Lance

No, this is not a dream. We have a new car!



It is not a Subaru Liberty like we wanted... but we like this Lancer Wagon. Blends in nicely with our backyard...
One thing that is nice is that it just conforms to the following government legislation:

If a vehicle has travelled less than 120,000 kms and is less than 7 years old, the trader must give a written warranty. The warranty period is 3 months or 3,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Certain vehicles such as four wheel drive vehicles, commercial vehicles and motor cycles are not...

This means we can be assured of a great vehicle! It came from the Mitsubishi Dealers in Launceston... and thus means no unexpected costs for us hopefully. A very sensible but a tad boring choise. Katherine kicked the tyres, checked the kayak gear in the back...



And then took it to work...


Next we need to get our roof rack modified... No kayaking till we get a roof rack on there...

Thank you for potty

Finally! Back to normal. Afullah happy, Katherine happy.... Maybe we'll try again next year... 

Car plans

Poor Pinny has blown a head gasket... At 293000 kilometers we are afraid it is time for a replacement... Anyone like to make us an (un)reasonable offer? Just needs a good gentle home...

Currently looking at this lovely Landrover... Should be econimical to run with its little 4 cylinder petrol engine... We've got it for a week to test drive! Cool! Very suauve!
 

Afullah for Sumo Queen

We got the new couches, but Afullah has the best view!


And as much food as she can fit in her huge belly....


The best kitty litter too....


Toilet training is just not happening. The toilet litter with hole in it is just not deemed acceptable... We are all getting a little upset with it all! Kitty litter on your toes in bed...

Holy Shit

Look, Afullah has progressed a little. We put it back on the toilet. She hates it! And K. hates it too! She wanted to quit the training and go back to the kitty litter! I want to persevere. She now tries to use it here, but has stage fright. This is a well-placed turd in the middle! Afullah has been doing it on the side, which is NOT desirable!! This is a good sign! In a week or two we will try and have the middle hole open!!


Look how tall our couch is! Maybe the foam will compress a little eventually.
 

New Couches!

There you go, makes the lounge look a little smaller, but we are comfortable!


And Afullah has a new scratchpad!!!
Speaking of which, the toilet training is going miserable with her. K. is ready to give up!
