Swan Settlers Market

Congratulations…. you found us at our changed blog address!  Hopefully it wasn’t too difficult.

We’ve been ‘house bound’ for several weeks but today decided to brave the heat and head to the Swan Settlers Market.  We live in Swan Shire which includes the Swan Valley; a major grape and wine region. 

It was our first trip to the market. 

I noticed a vintage wool press in the middle of the building which gives a hint to a bygone industry.  Sheep have been replaced with grapes.  Jan found the market somewhat disappointing; mostly Tat and blinge with a few stalls selling jams and chutney.    Somehow I suspect it will be our only visit!

Apart from digging the swimming pool, all projects are on hold.  Priority is to complete the replacement of the bath with the new toilet but I can’t do that until the location of the main sewer pipe is established.  I could just keep digging, but it’s likely I’d just have a bigger hole to fill.  Brother-in-law the plumber returns from his Christmas holiday shortly and will hopefully be able to provide some free advice.

Yes Don…… I rarely check my spelling and grammar having realised 30 years ago I tend to read what I think I wrote rather than what’s actually there!

Dave I also managed to subconsciously filter out the Farcebook Ads.  (well most of them).  I do tend to notice the Ads offering Russian brides and viagra.  Mind you; I think that’s because I informed Farcebook I was single and born in 1901.

As for the international news…..

Any competent incident investigator would be clearing the evidence from the scene that quickly.  Therefore I’m inclined to believe 70/30 the Iranians shot down the Ukranian 737 and are attempting to cover it up.  Just the same as the Russians tried with MH370 over eastern Ukraine.

Someone needs to tell that 35 year old with a family he should get a real job and also move out of his grandmother’s house.   <humour mode off>.  I do have some sympathy for Harry.  It used to be him and William together.  Then William found someone and started a family.  Harry also wanted a family, but struggled to find someone willing to accept the ‘confinement’ of the role.  Eventually it became the ‘Fab 4’, but that was short lived.  Then he gets told the family is slimming down and he is no longer part of the inner circle.  Perhaps it’s not surprising he has kicked over the traces.
