What time of the year did you go to St Moritz?
I didn’t mind it but the place was empty and a lot of the shops weren’t open. I wouldn’t mind coming back at winter time as apparently the place is absolutely buzzing

A lot of shops and restaurants weren’t open and a few of the locals commented that many shut for Jun/Jul/Aug. Still a fantastic place and our room had great views of the lake

View from our room

Phase 1 of operation "Boon family swimming pool" was completed a few months back ( cubby house removed, fencing extended etc )

Phase 2, the removal of some gum trees commences tomorrow morning.

Phase 3, the pool install looking like early September.

Phase 4, swimming in it, soon after.

Pallleasssse Jim, I'll have no choice but to "foe" you

Daughter getting 3rd in her footy association medal count in her 2nd season of footy and playing a year above her age group, I was very proud, she busts her arse out there, has no fear and has an excellent attitude, hopefully she can go two better next season.

Daughter - Miss C lands her first part time job (She is a Uni Student) today. Chuffed.

Takes a while, probably longer than you expect, and many little milestones but we are here 98.74% complete.

Ending? I reckon it’d be early on in the piece with this lot

Haven't scratched at the surface yet and someone is taking a dump in it.

Under no disillusions as to how long this is going to take, having renovated 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens I'm aware things :

1 - Never go as smoothly as you hope
2 - Never happen as quickly as you hope
3 - Always cost more than you expect
4 - Mrs Boon is extremely impatient
5 - I drink lots
6 - 5 has nothing to do with renovations

It will when 1, 2, 3 and 4 come into effect

I reno'ed a pool over January this year (yeah I know, but earliest I could get him to do it). Sounded like a simple job in tiling a concrete pool and new coping. 4 weeks later finally done. Was on budget though.

My wife and I are best friends but have learnt that we just simply cannot perform tasks together, whenever we have a big job to do we assign roles and don't interfere or offer advice to each other, it's frustrating but it seems to work.

I'm left shaking my head a lot of the times but beer fixes everything.
