Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Tools


All Kinds of Tools

I had fun taking some new photos for this challenge using things around the house and garden.

The man who lived here before us left this tool board in the garage. I love the drawings of the different types of tools. Unfortunately, I don’t have all of them and some I could not get to hang in the proper places. I would love a perfect tool board-if I used tools more.

We had an aunt who used to refer to cutlery as “tools”. It used to annoy mum, she thought it was common I think, so it became a bit of a joke between Naomi and me to say “tools” every now and then.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
