OK, as DIY projects go, this is a pretty basic one and I know it won't be to everyone's taste (those who only like ultra modern homes: look away now!! ) but DH is on holidays until January 16th, can't have him sitting around watching some boring and depressing show on TV (like the Test Cricket ) so he spent yesterday putting aluminium lace around our front verandah.
Just an aside: when we asked at the hardware shop whether they had aluminium lace the girl on the checkout had obviously never heard of it and gave us a strange look and said No, of course we don't have lace, this is a hardware store!
