How do you describe one of Australia’s most popular reality TV shows? I cheated and consulted Wikipedia.

The Block is an Australian reality television series broadcast on the Nine Network. The series follows four or, more recently, five couples as they compete against each other to renovate houses and sell them at auction for the highest price.

Except this time it’s an old office block they gut and convert into 5 apartments. I’ve been stalking and the latest Block renos are listed ready for auction. Welcome to Dee and Darren’s apartment. Link here while it lasts.

There was a time, when considering work spaces to feature in these Working on a Saturday posts, I immediately turned to office set ups. I’m drawn lately to beauty salons and hair dressers. I wonder why? Might have something to do with being trapped at work unable to escape to even get a hair cut. Imagine walking around with a bird’s nest for hair. That’s me 🙂 I would, however, abandon my clients if I had a chance to sit here to be pampered and coiffed. The First Ward, Tulsa Hair Salon by Workstead.

My idea of heaven is a cold drink on a hot day, a cool spot to sit and time to do nothing. Wish I was in heaven this weekend 😉 By Marco Meneguzzi.

Crazy busy. Crazy busy. Frantic, pulling my hair out, stressed. But then there is always this, always here, always peaceful. TsAO & McKOWN via homelife.
