    someone in newcastle won the $16mil ($2) lottery today - and it wasn't me (sob) - despite buying a ticket every couple of days. ah well - i'd be happy with the $610k that it stands at now.

    i'm still trying to work out how to get up to that last bit of facade to paint on the front of the house ... it's the bit right above a deeply protruding 1930's wooden awing and underneath where the power lines come into the house ... can't get scaffolding over it due to the garden hedge ... and...
