Last weekend (April 26th) the weather was wonderful ! So in my excitement decided to get into my little backyard and complete some much needed TLC...On the Friday evening, I headed to homebase after work which thankfully is almost next door and ended up spending a mini fortune !
In all the excitement of the warm weather forecast for the following day I wanted to spend some time outdoors in my little yard.
I ended up buying some beautiful flowers, a new gas BBQ and a table and chairs set with new cushions to go with.
So first thing Sat morning I jumped out of bed and starting sanding down my little two seater wood bench that I have outside. After spending a while sanding it down, I then gave it a new coat of paint and it looked brand new ! I was rather pleased at myself it was quite funny.
I then got my lovely Nikki outdoors to enjoy the sunshine with me.
Nikki is my beautiful Scarlet Macaw. I've had her roughly ten no actually 11 years now.....wow where does time fly ?
I love her to bits ! I got the hose pipe out and with a fine spray gave her a bath ! She gets so excited at bath time it's the funniest sight.
She sometimes gets so excited that she literally falls off her perch and then she can't quite figure out what happened.....

I then used some special decking cleaner and scrubbed my decking down. It's become a little mouldy from all the wet winter weather so needed to be cleaned. I now just need to repaint it, another task on my list of things to do.
As the day progressed I then planted some pretty flowers into my two hanging baskets that I have outside and planted some more into a little garden bed that I have in the corner of the outside area.
I have taken some photo's and I'll have to update them onto this post over this weekend. I spent the entire day outdoors and never even got to take the new BBQ out the box or the table set !
Around 5pm I then dashed off to meet my friends in Fulham to watch the AFL (Australian Football League)
Us gals pretended to watch, can't say I know anything about the rules of the game.
We had a really good evening and ended up going to our friend Roger's house afterwards for the rest of the evening.
Overall it was a great day. :)
