Hi there,
A short read for you tonight as we are short on power. Looks like the whole peninsula is blacked out including us of course. Because we are not on "town" water we also have no water since our pumps are electric.
A dirty day here weather wise with rain and showers driven by a strong north westerly wind. Our tasks today were relatively mundane. We are finding our feet in the senior role so there is a lot to do with respect to understanding the systems or chaos.
I started with the testing of the pools an did some other general maintenance work of minor note. At one stage I was despatched to rescue the goats that I tethered out in the paddock this morning due to the inclement conditions. They didn't seem too perturbed but did gallop at high speed towards their enclosure and head straight into their shelter. The bloody wimps. I also managed to lock my myself briefly in the shipping container today when the wind blew the door shut and the latch half caught. I managed to rock it open. That was a bit scary as its a bit out of the way. Although I am sure in time I would have been missed especially with the van parked outside the door with the engine running.
Susan had the morning off and started at 2. She is trying to reorganise a lot of different areas which would be a lot easier if we didn't have all these bloody guests calling in all the time.
The power outage occurred shortly after the 9 o'clock lock up and caused some excitement. The recorded message on the outage line said "long duration due to the extent of the damage"
The fishing line that holds a lens in on my glasses broke tonight so a trip to Sorell is in order to see if they can be repaired. Looks like the frames are still made so I might be able to get replacement frames seeing as I spent a small fortune getting new lenses before Xmas. However I am prepared. I had my last pair of glasses relensed about 12 months ago for just such an occasion and am wearing them now.
Anyway that's enough for today.
Night folks. Will be interesting if the power doesn't come on in the morning!
Cheers Simon
