:-)
Today started with the obligatory dark threatening cloud which gave way to the usual rain precluding any sanding of the deck. However anticipating the rain I bundled our wet washing from the line into the drier. The drier here is very good and excellent value as i had the whole lot dried for $3. Susan continued on with her undercover outside painting whilst I, suitably briefed on how to achieve the best bargains, leapt into the prancing Pajero and hightailed it 60 or so km down the road to Sorell to visit the Fruit and Veg market and Woolworths to purchase supplies for the breakfasts being provided for the Indian Motorcycle club members staying here this weekend. Packing it into one trolley was a bit of a feat 16 loaves of bread, 30 litres of milk, 24 litres of juice, 14 cans of baked beans, etc, etc. After a pie, an expresso and some complimentary fuel I returned to Nubeena. Susan was relaxing in the spa with Julie and one of the guests.
I strolled down the creek to see the progress being made on the clean up and noted the abundance of ripe blackberries. I am thinking tomorrow a big pick and make some jam!
For a change I cooked tea, an unimaginative meal of pork cutlets, carrots, sweet potato and mash.
I then spent several minutes repairing my glasses as one of the bridge pieces fell off. The design leaves much to be desired with a very small cross section secured by a small screw into the frame. What really peeves me is I replaced the lenses when I was home over Xmas at considerable expense and I don't know that it will be possible to fit them in another frame. Here's hoping the superglue (a miracle material) and silastic will prove durable.
We are thinking maybe not to have a day off this week and have 2 back to back next week. We will see.
Have enjoyed looking at the Indian Motorcycles and will try and get some pictures to post tomorrow.
I also have to ring Telstra as it appears they have stuffed up my requested plan change. I would have been really surprised if they hadn't. They are undoubtedly the biggest bunch of bozos I have ever encountered!
Cheers Simon
