My house has a toilet again. The plumber was able to get the old toilet up and running on Monday, so I only needed to change buildings for a couple of days. Yellow water even brown water is not uncommon for bore water in any country and even in Scotland, I grew up with that and there is was the drinking water and bath water as well. As a kid having a bath was great fun because the water was already brown when you got into it! Here it is only the toilet and washing machine water that run off the bore water inside the house - outside of the house it is everything and we have loads of taps outside. I now have a fully working system again inside the house as of last night. The septic tank has been completely ripped out (literally - see my blog photos) and a new one installed late last night. They stayed working long after dark last night to get it up and running, leaving me to turn off the bore water (refilling it) around 9pm last night.
As a child growing up vegetarian, I remember loads of things not being not being vegetarian, such as cheese and onion crisps, which bacon flavoured were, polos were not for a very long time, virtually any mouse or jelly of any type wasn't (M&S were one of the first to change which was great because they forced a massive upheaval), rich tea biscuits were not veggie.
Nowadays, it is things like salt and vinegar flavoured crisps not being vegan that get me whilst ironically things like texas BBQ or smokey BBQ are vegan!
Right time for some photos of outside before the workmen arrive (for the blog) and then a shower. I have work to do.... including wood to make into kindling (I do the kindling a day at a time, my husband does the big log splitting a week at a time), wood to bring in to the house for tonight's fire and the blog to update amongst another load of washing, and much more cleaning and unpacking to deal with. And yes the house did not meet H&S standards of the UK. I suspect it didn't for Australia either, but then I have always lived in places like this and I knew that the only way you afford to live in places like this is to expect to have to deal with mice and major cleaning when you move in. There is still a lot of work to be done. We have the plumbers coming back to finish today and deal with some other leaks we have. The builder is probably coming around next week (he doesn't know this yet because he is on holiday) because the roof leaks when it rains heavily and we have a possum issue amongst a few other issues like not a single door locking, not that that actually bothers me because you have to have found the place first and well, its not as though anyone would not put one of the axes in the car port through a window and not be seen or heard. I have no neighbours or anything other than wildlife. There are 5 miles (8km) of dirt track to drive down first and my post box is over 4km away, that's 2.5 miles!
But its all fun out there, I guess. And I sense that you must really a be a whole lot physically better than a few months back. 
As for me. I'm suffering from foot problems. Its quite agonising and walking anywhere has become a problem.
Will be seeing my GP ASAP as this has come out of the blue and has been going on for a week now (getting worse).
