^ Ahh, Colorbond "Deep Ocean". All the trim accents on the outside of my new place are that colour.
I quite like the colour. It's better than beige, which is what the people across the road put up. The accents on our place are blue too, but a bit lighter than the fence. Well we can't have everything. ;) The rest of our place is cream brick (blech) with accents of red brick. Is your place the same?

I know all the colorbond colours lol. My place is a light sandy colour brick. Deep ocean garage door, roof gutters and window frames, and my front door is painted the same colour.
My back fence is cream though.
You can usually tell the age of a neighbourhood judging by how much Colorbond "Classic Cream" there is on the house facades :P
I wanted to get rid of it so bad at my old place but strata screwed their noses up at my other colour suggestions.

Do you have to deal with strata where you are now? I have in the past. Once I got into trouble for putting up a clothes line because I didn't ask them first. So petty.

The colour of our fence is growing on me. The reason it's blue is because the businesses next door have it as their accent colour. Their main colour is grey.

The only thing I don't like is the gap the fence guy left between us and the neighbour behind us. The small border fence doesn't reach the blue fence. So the cats can get through. Rowan demonstrated this quite happily.

We have an inspection next week so I'll show them then.

Yes I'm still in a strata but only 4 lots now. No issues so far, touch wood. Though the neighborhood FB group for the whole estate hates me and my car  :zoinks:
Not sure what the neighbours themselves think, not that it matters as I have no choice but to start a V8 every morning with a cold engine, and their main bedroom is next to my garage :laugh:
They can only complain about things if they see or hear them. It's pretty private here so I can flout the rules a bit.

I like your car even though I've never heard it. :)

We're in a lot of four as well. But we rent. We're closest to the road but my car is hidden from view. I'm pretty sure our nearest neighbour hates me slamming my car's doors (because he starts shouting incoherently) but it's an old car and its doors won't close unless they're slammed.

We have another issue - the carport gate. When our fence blew over, the gate came off its hinges. And it's a heavy metal gate. It where we take our bins through to the road. I've been taking the bins through next doctor's gate via where the fence blew down because I've been avoiding our gate. I reported this but the housing association hasn't done anything.

Even though I'm tired this morning, I still did ok at the gym.

I haven’t been to the gym in years! I used to love going. I think my favourite piece of equipment was the cross-trainer. I used to like using the weights too.

They don't have a cross-trainer but they do have a rowing machine and an exercise bike. It's a very small gym because it's at a physiotherapy place. There's about 6 of us who go to the Tuesday morning session. We have a physiotherapist who oversees what we do and gives us suggestions for new exercises so we don't get stuck doing the same thing all the time.

Carla and I had a nice day off together and did a shopping "date".  Tres romantique! :eyelash:  ;)
