That game of football last night?

What a game.  That's all that's needs to be said.

from here

Apologies to those who aren't interested in rugby league, but last night Qld (Maroons) took on NSW (Blues) to make it a eight straight series victory.  Awesome.

The two males of the house went off in seperate directions to watch it at respective mates' places.  Yes, it's a bit of a blokey thing I know, but I just love the State of Origin series.  So I sat at home with my knitting and thorougly enjoyed it (pity about the streaker).

In other news ... we scored a lovely fireguard at a garage sale a few weeks back.

Not that we get much of a chance to use our fire here in Queensland!!

cheers for now

We Like Our Fireplace

Being in Queensland, it doesn't really get a lot of use.

However, just for a few months, it's an integral part of our home.

A bit rustic, it seems to fit in well.  We have been here 21 years (how did that happen) and the fire was here
when we bought the house.

 

(oops the chimney looks a bit wonky - sorry, must be my great photography in action!)

Not sure how long it was here before.  It's a fair age anyhow.

Over the years we have installed a new chimney, but that's all.

I think it will be here for a few years to come.

Do you have a fireplace where you are?

cheers for now
