About Me

Lots of people are aware of the funny idiosyncrasies of the Australian language...... a common tip for visitors keen to sound like a local, add an “o” to the end of each word, a ‘servo’ is a service station, rego is the car registration, the bottle-o is the bottle shop and reno is renovation. We are renovating our home, in other words, “we’re doing some reno’s”! This is our attempt at a blog, a way to describe the journey of the reno’s, an extended tale that's taken us from our little flat near a beach in Sydney, to our little miners cottage in Melbourne, come to think of it... we might call it the “reno blogo”.

Stuff you find under floorboards!


A mineral water bottle from Flemington Bridge (?)



A milk bottle from P.W. Tomkins dairy in Thornbury (St Georges Road)- I'm thinking circa 1934.

I'll give them a buff and polish...
other stuff we found...medicine bottles and little tea style server trays
oh... and heaps of dirt and some moudly mud!
