Day One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty Nine

Sunday 29th September

We got up and after some brekkie made our way over to Bunnings in Chatswood to buy the new flooring for the kitchen. Bought a few more tools for the upcoming kitchen works.

We dropped into Willoughby and picked up Carol and did some shopping at Westfield in Chatswood, we also had some lunch there.

Later in the afternoon we made our way back to Lane Cove. I started to take out the existing kitchen in preparation for the electrical work booked in for Wednesday.

We then went to Harvey Norman and looked at appliances, we have our eyes on a nice Westinghouse cooker which we may get later in the week.

Off to Ikea where we grabbed some lunch before making our way to Kitchen dept. We order a couple of units, plus a sink and tap so we can get started on kitchen installation this week.

We made our way home and caught the end of the grand final which Hawthorne won.

In the evening we went up to the pub for a spot of dinner and then came home and watched the movie the Rainmaker.
