Today we went out for lunch with friends to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived I was introduced to a few people, one of which had a familiar face and is the brother in law of a friend, we started chatting, I then remembered his surname and at the same time he remembered mine......we went to primary school together some 32 years ago! Small world hey.... 
We christened the entertaining area the father in law and I built a month or so ago (on the weekends!).
Have been meaning to post some pics of it.
The bench is 5 metres long. Just have to finish of the kickers, get a gas outlet for the weber Q so it can sit on the bench (we have natural gas) and finish painting the blueboard.
We got sick of having our Engels in the way either in the garage or laundry, so made it so they both can be housed in the cupboards on sliders - am only showing one here as you need to close the cupboard to open the other for the 2nd Engel. It is great, we now have three fridges just in the entertaining area alone!

I've been inside the @bigman0510 Basestation when it was waiting to be delivered from Warburton's and it was like a huge demountable or something out of BattleStar Gallactica. LOL.

Spent yesterday cleaning up from our trip, today was weeding and fitting the winch into the 100 series as it cannot stay in the ranger.
Bar off ready for the winch.
Winch mounted, now just to refit the bar.
Job done.

Been gardening lately, not exciting for a lot of people I know but it's something I enjoy! Chopping down trees, digging out stumps and re doing gardens ready for spring
@Burnsy, mate i hear yah, been the same here in the Pace house. Mrs Pace has now got idea for the side yard and doesn't want the back corner where l store all the stuff that'll use one day, l'm sure we all have one those places in the yard. lol. Pace.
''What did I do on the weekend'', well it started for me last Thursday, Mrs Pace says, hun (we all know what comes after that don't we fella's), what if we move the party for Sunday into the garage then all the kids can play under the pergola, that way we can use the side drive as entry, then I reply, so where will the van go? Oh just move it to the other side of the house, then we can move all garden out from under the van, do a couple of trip runs tomorrow (Friday) then you can weed out the back gazebo sitting area so we can finally landscape that garden bed, get some compact stones to place under the van parking spot, wack it down all solid.......
So, we done all that starting late Thursday and into through all day Friday. Saturday was basketball in the morning then dancing just before lunch, followed by another basketball game after lunch. Got home about 2pm when I didn't even get inside the house and started setting up for the young boys 10th birthday party. Tressel tables, chairs, bbq, ice boxes, streamers, balloons........ got inside about 6pm. Sunday morning was get that last shopping goodies then start cooking for guests. Mini Pace invited a dozen of school friends then the cousins too which ended up being a footy (AFL) side in total.
Let me tell you our poor trampoline got a real work out, then my uncle started the fire pit and out come the marshmallows. Everyone ate, real big too and the vino was flowing too amongst the oldies who sat under the patio heater all afternoon. Mrs Pace got the picnic blanket out and all kids went nuts, its like they knew we were going to do the pinata. So all the kids lined up and they all got a hit at it till finally it split open then just image 18 kids around a 12mt square picnic rug just taking a huge leap to collect the most lollies as you can. Kids are smarter nowadays, one of them was putting lollies in their pockets instead of their collection bag so others wouldn't dip into their stock. Clever.
The party went fantastic and i have just come in from cleaning the pergola. Mrs Pace and I just love having this parties for the kids and we busted our rumps let me tell you, so now its a glass of wine between Mrs Pace and I, with our feet up later in the evening reflecting on the moment of ''hun'' and what she'll like to see for the side yard. To be continued........

Our daughter and son-in-law bought their first house, moved Thursday, so spent Friday and the weekend moving left overs that the carriers would not take, cleaning and patching walls in the rental home they moved from. Had the gurney going on the patio of the old and new house, did numerous trips to the tip and now find I have more stuff stored in my shed that does not belong to me.
And I am knackered. :faint:
