More on the plastering and news on Max the Beagle























We popped down on the weekend only to find the house had been broken into and the door swung open when Aaron checked the handle. As far as we could tell nothing has been taken unless there were some tools on site. Anyway it gave us a chance to take photos of the inside with more of the plastering done, no cornices yet but the joins have been covered over as you can see. It was very exciting to see how much the plasterers were able to achieve in such a short amount of time. Are we on track for a Christmas in the new house? Only time will tell.
Not sure if we'll have a peak tomorrow to see what has been accomplished. We are off to Gumbuya Park so may sneak over on the way home.

In other news:

Went for a lovely drive today through Monbulk, Emerald, Cockatoo and Gembrook across to Launching Place and finally a late lunch in Warbuton.
Took Max to the vet this evening. The lump on his ear and the other on his eye is of some concern, there is also a smaller lump on his other eye which is probably scratching his cornea and causing some discomfort. It turns out there are many other lumps over his body. Peter (the vet) thinks they are probably just wart type lumps from over active glands but when he removes them from the eyes and ear he will send them off to pathology. Poor Max, I love him to pieces.
The receptionist at the vet is Mel who I went to high school with, it was interesting to chat to her after all this time. Always nice to catch up. Makes me think I should ring a few old friends rather than letting myself lose touch. By the way, Max has an appointment for surgery next Tuesday. In the mean time there are ear drops and anti-biotics to take. Guess whose job it will be to play vet nurse!

See ya
