When half-arsed is good enough

For ages now I've been really looking forward to getting some of our wedding photos framed and up on the wall somewhere. Mr Bon & I don't have a lot of photos of ourselves - actually that's an understatement - pre-wedding I think we had one photo from my year 12 ball, and one Christmas photo. So now we have those two, and about 450 wedding photos :D

We've also been very slack about putting anything up on the walls, although Mr Bon would like to get some nice tall-ship paintings.

Anyway, I recently found some absolutely beautiful recycled timber frames which were perfect for our wedding pictures. They're made by Mulbury, and we bought ours through Biome.

Aren't the frames gorgeous? Unfortunately, we suck too much to do them justice, for two reasons:

1. Can't get the critters to hang straight. They're sitting too far off the wall to be straightened, so I think I'm going to have to go at them with some corks and blu-tac. More likely, they'll stay all funky-like until next time Mr Bon's mum or my dad come to visit - and then they'll get sorted out.

2. Can't get decent photos of them. This corner just doesn't get enough light for my little camera phone. They do look a lot nicer in real life than they do in these photos.

Anyway, unpolished at it is, that's probably the most productive thing to come out of our weekend. I have managed to do quite a lot of Christmas-present-ordering, and I am slowly making progress with the recorded TV collection. Mr Bon is busy with whatever computer game he's playing at the moment.

Tess has also had a fun weekend - the other day, for the first time ever, she tricked us into giving her two dinners. She's really not enjoying being on a diet! She went to the vet today - she's lost 3 kilos and is now just about the right weight, so she'll just have to get used to being hungry all the time :(

I also made up a new batch of worm-fattening food for the worms at work. We don't really need to make them any fatter, but it's a convenient way to add a bit of lime to the farm on a regular basis, and it does seem to to keep the farm looking happier. We sprinkle a pretty generous amount over each farm once a week.

I also did the monthly greywater maintenance this weekend, and as I flushed the driplines out I noticed something sad - the soil around the fruit trees is really impressively water-repellent again. So I shall have to motivate myself to give each of the trees their ad-hoc soil improvement - same as this orange tree got earlier on. It's on the list.. goodness knows when I'll get around to it.
