We FINALLY moved into our new house.
We are still getting settled, every afternoon after lunch, and every weekend, has been a different construction, repair, cleaning, break up dog fight, job, but we are getting to the end of it. I want to bring the kayaks over soon, We already unpacked the gin.
I’m including some pictures, and you can see the highs and the lows of the place.
The backyard.
Although it looks like an ICBM bunker, it is in fact our water tank, the water comes from the rainwater off the roof.
The front yard.
The house is behind the trees you can’t quite see it.
A dog on the porch (Maity).
He was bad, so he was chained up, Stinky was moving too fast and his portrait was blurry. They have developed a fighting technique with the other dogs. Maity goes out to make friends, the neighbor dog attacks him, when the other dog’s back is turned Stinky jumps on top and gets the other dog by the neck. It’s both savage and effective.
A view of the sea from the porch.
A view of the side of the house.
The big metal thing on the left hand side of the picture is the turret to a Japanese artillery piece that was left here at the end of WWII. It is solid steel and weighs more than a car.
A view of the hammock.
We bought this hammock when we lived in
The neighbors.
They live in a traditional house with no electricity, no plumbing, no nothing. I went outside to type this on the porch, and 8 little kids were staring at me, so I went inside. We did put up bamboo shades.
