G'day Icebergers,
Apparently the south western part of the continent is unseasonably cold at the moment, That is certainly the case here. I have had to resort to long trousers tonight!
This mornings inclement weather meant the planned deck varnishing could not proceed so I meandered down to the back paddock to fell branches blocking the access across a sleeper type footbridge left over from the days when the back paddock was a golf course. I had a small handsaw and secateurs so progress was slow. I did have an interested audience of the neighbours on the other side of the fence. 20 cows who broke off there nibbling of the blackberries to keep an eye on my progress. After the cutting, before I dragged the branches 50 metres to the fire pile, I did some exploring along the fence line with the cows trooping along on the other side. After I had pulled the branches away and waited under a tree for a line of showers to pass through I thought I would take their picture seeing as it looked like being the most interesting thing that would happen today and they had all disappeared, nowhere to be seen, very mysterious.
After Susan had finished her mornings housekeeping and painting we took a trip to Hobart with Julie to visit Hardly Normals so she could buy a netbook. Anaconda is in the same estate and i had a refund voucher burning a hole in my pocket.
Julie after some deliberation bought her netbook and I bought a combination Camelbak water bag/hike pack plus squid jags and floats. We returned pausing at Sorell for W/W diesel, the hole in the wall money machine and supermarket.
The day finished with another lovely communal tea in the staff dining area.
Tomorrow is our day off and since Susan's blister has not healed a big walk is out so we will visit Port Arthur which I believe we get to do for free! bonus!
Better take the gloves and beanie.
cheers Simon
