The 'umbilican cord' = power cable to the house has been laid yesterday and today Telstra (telephone company) will come and use the same trench. This does not mean I do have power. AGL will instal the meter on 23rd of August and then I'm really (!) connected.



The same day the septic tank (like a big 'shit pot') has been delivered.



The plumber was busy and worked well.



(Although he managed to damage an electric wire at the house).

Clare is still lame and we are unable to go for a bicycle ride. The 'good' side is that she has no intention to chase other animals or explore the surroundings on herself. Laying in front of the house and just watching what's going on [please admire the new registration tag: this year sunny yellow].



Because I thought she is a giant dog I finally measured her: 70 cm at the withers.

The standard:

Height at withers:
For bitches is 56 - 63 cm.
56 - 57 cm is small / 58 - 59 cm is medium height / 60 - 61 cm is large - correct height / 62 - 63 cm is very large
Weight: approximately 42 kg

Attention - long story!
