Sunscreen blinds

I have been asked about the blinds that we have in our house. We have double rollers the first blind is the sunscreen one, during the day you can see out with no trouble at all but at night it reverses & the outside can see in but you can't see out.
That is why you have the double blinds so that you can use the blockout blind at night & during the hot summer days.

Our doggie is home....

He came back this afternoon & he has seemed to have settled in really quickly (let's hope that I don't jinx myself).
He is so thin & the vet told my husband that he was refusing to eat (so he went on a hunger strike in protest). They called into work on their way home & I had some chicken that was left over from my lunch & he ate it up so quickly & was looking for more. I have feed him 3 times already as I want him to get a lot of little bits of food, to try & fatten him up.
We won't take him for a walk outside as someone will report me for sure as they will think that I have starved him. He is skinny anyway but he is a bag of bones at the moment.
We also have got some tadpoles in a water bowl in the garden so we will keep an eye on them & hopefully soon we will have frogs.....

What boys do.....

So this is what boys do when they want more excitement than what the trampoline gives them....
They were trying to get up the tree, where they successful? not this time, the eldest son could get up to the top of the trampoline, but not into the tree.
Lets see what tomorrow brings......

Laundry screen door..

We wanted a very plain screen door for both the bedroom & the laundry. This is what we got & we are very happy with the look. The colour is Ironstone to match the other door.

And a different view

It was great to potter around in the garden when I got home from work. I can't wait for daylight saving to start, all those extra hours of light in the evening.....

What a difference a day makes....

We have a backyard, the kids have been kicking the ball around & climbing the tree. A friend suggested that we get a seat built around the tree in the middle. We had a couple of girls over from school yesterday & they were in the tree as well. It's a weed tree but it's a great climbing tree, I wonder who will break their arm first??? Our dog is coming home today, he has been at the kennels for 3 weeks so I am sure that he will have lost a huge amount of weight, he misses us heaps but he will be back up to his skinny self in no time (he is a whippet, so he is really skinny anyway).
I have been planting some of the plants that I had in pots along the fence & I think that I will get some other plants over the weekend, hopefully the weather will be good.

The shed with a kennel...

The shed went in last week but we can't use it as it has to have silicone put around the bottom & there is a piece on the top that is wrong. They are due back either today or tomorrow our doggy is at the kennels as we haven't had fences, we now have fences down both sides but no gates.
He will love his new yard as the poor bugger has had astro turf at the rental house, he will also be able to run around.
