Covid Blog 30

Yes here we are again 30 days after starting this blog...

It seems strange that we have been going through this for over 30 days.... I am hoping that this will not last another 30 days but I am not confident!

Today I was up early to travel to Rye to install a new stove in the rental property...

The trip down to Rye from Melbourne was relatively quick with very few cars and trucks on the road.

Arriving at Rye the weather was relatively good although there was heavy cloud cover. A coffee at the beach was delightful and good to get the blood flowing for the day...

After arriving back at the house I was met by the guy assigned to install the stove which was great .... and then after inspecting the wiring I was informed that he did not have the required wiring to install the stove..... bugger!!!

So after removing the hot plates in the house the electrician advised he would have come back on another day to install the stove....

Ah well that’s the way it goes...

After this I decided to mow and tidy up the yard in the rental property whilst the rain held off. It was good exercise and enjoyable to be outside.

After completing the tidy up I headed to Bunnings to get some timber to block up the hole in the bench where the old disconnected hot plates were... all very concerning and challenging  for a terrible handyman like me!!

I think it might work as a chopping board station!!!anyway let’s see.

A brief lunch at the local shops “on the move” then I traveled back to Rye to see if my idea might work.... I think it might???

On the way home it started to rain and got quite cold ... the rain continued all afternoon and is still going now at 9.00 pm as I write this blog 

The afternoon was spent on the couch with me watching the news and catching a few minutes of “shut eye”!!!

After a time I got a few supplies for meals at the local shops and was later joined by one of the neighbours at Rye for a chat.... observing the social distancing rules.

After this it was time for dinner 

A good day but frustrating in that the stove install is somewhat delayed...

There was no ride today as there will be for most of this week as the weather is terrible and my bike goes in for its annual service 

Now for the photos

Job done ... the yard is tidy...

... as for the stove installation .... well less said the better!
