    Default Hello from sunny Canberra

    Hello!

    I have restored a couple of small pieces of furniture over the years and really enjoyed it but having three children and being at uni doesn't leave me much time for such a hobby.

    I have recently purchased a beautiful Parker dining table from the 1960s that will be the subject of some restoration advice on this forum, but I'll do that in the appropriate area.

    And no, I'm not being sarcastic, Canberra IS sunny, most of the time.

    Welcome to the forum. Yeah I was wondering what part of Canberra you were referring to being sunny but then again it would be sunny just colder.

    Hi

    Why do we Canberrans have a fridge.







    To stop the drinks freezing.


    It is colder outside than in the fridge......

    Welcome to the forums.
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    DavidG - I am continually trying to convince my kids to wear coats to school by telling them that it's colder outside than in the fridge. Apparently that's not convincing enough. We breed 'em tough here.
