My super breakfast

We went in to town today to buy a few things. So why not have breakfast there as well?

This was my breakfast. I just didn't feel like eating a ham/cheese croissant again. Yes, I skipped lunch...

I love this row of houses in Rundle Street. Very wild-west.

Speaking of wild-west...

Then we went to Myer to buy a new hairdryer (the old one exploded). This was NOT for me by the way...

They were selling a bloody poffertjes pan!

On our way back to the car we bought some fresh juice.

And we went to Haigh's to buy some chocolates.

I bought myself this little external cd/dvd reader/writer for my little laptop. It's USB powered which is very handy.

At home I wanted to mow the lawn but my lawn mower is screwed. That little gear wheel has a mechanism inside that fails too often. I have to fix that but I need a little bit of steel rod for that.

This is the inside of the wheel, you can see how it drives the little gear wheel.

The first thing I did this morning; picking up walnuts.

It was on my way getting the wheel barrow which I needed to collect 20 bricks to use in the garden.

We are putting barrel halves in the garden and we use the bricks as a little floor for them. Like this one.

While Nicole and Karin went to the Central Market to hunt groceries, I started sanding the old rusty wheel barrow that has been lying in this garden for as long as I can remember which is more then 7 years...

I gave it a good enough scrub.

Nicole and Karin soon returned from the market bringing home all sorts of nice food items.

Nicole mowed the lawn in the back (I'm planning doing the front tomorrow).

Mason was apparently under the impression that Nicole was pushing away the lawn mower that was attacking her and gave it a few good bites in the wheels. Luckily the wheels are made of hard plastic. Earlier Mason also tried to bite the wheel barrow I used for the bricks and a month ago he also bit into the big leaves-vacuum cleaner that I use to suck up the leaves in our garden. Every dog has it's funny habbit I guess...

In the afternoon we drove to Ikea looking for a washing basket. They didn't have a really nice one so we ended up with a plastic box instead. it will do. On the way out we spotted the giant hot dog ad.

An isle full of goods made everywhere in the world but all designed by Ikea in Sweden.

In the afternoon we also drove to Bunnings to get some wood and paint etc. This car was parked outside. Cool plate.

I bought a blue paint to paint the wheel barrow with. It's a bit of a try-out because blue ain't exactly a garden colour but I think it will look OK. When it's finished it will be on my Creative blog.

The new lawnmower.

To start the day we moved some palms out of the garden. No more sharp palm leaves poking me when I walk past. They found a nice new place in the driveway.

I need to keep my driving going so we went everywhere today. One destination was Norwood.

I bought a few magazines. The model railroad magazine is from the UK and at the top is says "5 great layouts - UK & European". I feel a bit sad for the english to feel this way. Apart from that I find it really STUPID!

And also some new shirts.

Before Norwood we went to Bunnings where I bought a little lawnmower. This one requires muscle power (not much really) instead of fuel and it much LESS noisy.

Here's Nicole trying out the new lawnmower, she liked it a lot and instantly mowed half the garden :-)

In the evening I played World of Warcraft with my guild. It was fun. We went into a dungeon called "Karazhan" and encountered a few of these particularly sexy dressed but very deadly characters. Here we see one of our warriors, Chins, carefully chopping one up. Chop, chop :-)

This is the team that I played in last night. I'm the tree. Yesh, a tree!

Here's a close up showing three very different characters. I'm a druid and druids can shapeshift into other forms. In the picture before this one, you also see a huge owl-like character, that's also a druid. As I am a healer (I don't deal damage, instead I heal the players around me), I sometimes take on tree-form as it increases my healing abilities. In the middle we see two cute blood elves and on the right there is a troll which I personally find the ugliest characters around ;-)
