Hello to the handful of brave souls still reading the blog.
We awoke to the patter of rain on the canvas this morning. However I could see sunshine so was not worried that the rain curse was still active. The rain lasted 3 minutes. The sun shone, the canvas dried. Karen offered me custody of one of the many goats when I was seen "talking" to it as it moved to examine the lidless foodbox I had placed on the ground. We said farewell temporarily to Alan and Karen as they left for their respective weekday jobs.
Since we only had a short distance to travel we took the opportunity to do some organising of our stuff and to ensure everything we were packing away was dry. After many weeks of carting the third bike around in the box on top of the trailer toolbox we realised we could pack it on top of the camper with the swag under our newish tarp. We are leaving the camper on the farm while we do our HelpEx up the road. I also plonked the solar panel on top to keep the battery fully charged while we are away.
We drove to Maryborough for a McCafe and a quick trip around the town before heading to our new location at Takura.
We were greeted by Catherine and shown around. It is a nice property set on a moderately sloping block of about 5 acres. Peter her husband arrived a little while later. They have 2 children aged 4(nearly) and 16 months. We have settled in and commence our toils tomorrow.
I shall travel to Hervey Bay tomorrow for Remembrance Day.
The weather is perfect here around 25/26 with humidity under control. Apparently this area has close to perfect weather all year round which is why Peter and Catherine chose it. Hopefully the presence of the Jonahs will not change that.
cheers Simon
