Good evening,
It was back in the harness today for the oldies after a day off. All the usual suspects were there for me work wise.
Items of note, The chickens flight feathers have grown back and they have been escaping so they were locked in their cage tonight and will have a "haircut" in the morning. The vacuum cleaners here seem to have a high attrition rate. I found another one that is out of service due to broken pins on the plug. I must find an old plug and see how much effort is required to break the pins!
Our gelding goat Zeus is a bit of a concern at the moment. He has been sitting on the ground all day today not eating. I hope he is not going to snuff it as it will require a big hole to be dug to bury him! Besides that I would miss the daily wrestle as he takes off across the paddock with me holding the rope. Actually I have got him sussed out. The best strategy is to run along behind him because he can only sprint for 10 metres or so and then stops. He may be strong be he isn't fit! To paraphrase the old King Gee ad "Don't back chat me I know goats"
One of Susan's tasks today was to get the helpers to do an inventory of the rooms. To facilitate this she had kitchen implements lined up and was teaching the English names to the helpers with much hilarity. For being good students they were rewarded with chupa chups.
This evening Susan went to chanting while I stayed home doing some catch up. Looks like I might have some joy with my walkie talky batteries. I have to send them back to the shop in Adelaide and make sure they go by land parcel post since lithium batteries are banned from airfreight which rules out express post. Obviously in your hand baggage in the form of phones and laptops etc they are ok. Seems to be a bit of a gap in the logic there. Maybe it's because baggage gets rougher treatment than personal hand luggage!
I hear tonight I am driving to Hobart tomorrow (again) to pick up more helpers so there is another opportunity to catch up on some jobs lost. I might get to do some shopping instead!
The great weather continues here. let's hope it lasts until Thursday our day off!
Night all
Simon
