HIDEAWAY up date

Sorry we've been non - bloggers for so long but since moving in to  the Hideaway it's been hard work from dawn till dusk. It's also been a communication problem.
We are at last are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel after we removed four truckloads of scrap steel, one very large hire trailer and two box trailer loads of rubbish.
The place is overrun with Lantana so have been pulling that out (in our spare time) and have revealed a beautiful hill at the back. The front is a lot denser with the bloody stuff but luckily the owner has agreed to pay for a bobcat to rip it out.
Annie has been more than pulling her weight ( and more than her fair share of Lantana ) so consequently we have both lost weight , but both in top form after all the exercise.
I ripped out a wall in the shed and we have extended the floor space with the intention of enlarging the interior.  We bought  some brand new faux timber wall panelling at an auction place to line the inside, so hope it will be attractive, ( if that's at all possible using fake panels ).
Annie has been planting gardens and they are beginning to flower and look pretty good.
We are presently at Marcia's in Cairns. When we get home the man is coming to set up our satellite dish for our wireless Internet and also a Tele aerial.
Having a great time here at Marcia and Mark's having arrived on Tues morning. We will be here a week and then back home.
Marcia and Mark are busy on the weekend and it's also Corrine's birthday on Sun, the big three oh!.
On Monday we hope to go to Deeral for a barbie and a swim at my brother's place.
We will blog re our week in Cairns when we get home.
