I also have two fridges, two freezers and two microwaves. I am sure these will all come in handy when I have the 79 people around to sit on all my chairs.

Currently I have only been using one of the fridges. We are eating all fresh food, mainlysushi. We have eaten so much sushi, that when we visited Canberra to break up the boredom - unfortunately not mine - of the rain, which stops work on the vineyard (if it rains soon after pruning, spores which I am guessing are on the vines, splash up into the fresh cuts and the vines get diseased), we couldn't face sushi.... what is happening, it is all I used to eat away from the vineyard.

Aside from that life is still rather dull.

I have been spending far too much time selling wine. It has been fairly successful thus far, will see if my luck continues.

Aside from that I have spent a fair amount of time working on my house. I had a few deadlines, which helped, my sister left for London and I am storing/using some lovely pieces of furniture and I had a visitor arriving two days later. The pressure did help.

I now have a fully furnished house, maybe overly furnished, I have three dining room tables, I can seat 79 people and I have three ovens, another on its way..... my kitchen is still needing a lot of love... which may happen in about 2.5 weeks when some wonderful people are visiting from Sydney for a working weekend.

While my kitchen is not yet renovated it is still functional. My Italian guest has been teaching me to make some wonderful meals. I have been teaching the art of making sushi and some asian meals.... a lovely swap of recipes.

I should try to take some photos of the house soon....
