Day 67 Nubeena Saturday 2nd April 2011


The Safe N Sure Mousetrap. Cheap and very effective. Woolies should have them.


Hi Folks,

I staggered outside this morning with a piercing cold wind blowing up my shorts! A sign of things to come.

The day was spent doing my little tasks and organising Jimmy, who works efficiently, to do multiple jobs. It is good having someone to help out as there is actually time to get jobs done that make a difference to the way the place looks. To my eye it is looking better.

I started on shelves for Susan in the laundry. However with no hammer drill things came to a stop. Looks like a job for the local handyman unless there is a drill that I don't know about. Speaking of the laundry I have killed 3 mice there yesterday and today. There is one mousetrap here of a type I haven't seen before. It is like a plastic clamshell with a spring around it. The beauty of it is the lightness of the triggering. With the standard trap you have to position the trigger bar to make them sensitive but this one is naturally sensitive. I'll post a picture if I remember.

Susan is pursuing her own improvement program and is also making progress. The helpers call Susan mum now which I guess is a good thing!

I was involved in cooking the communal tea tonight along with Melody from the UK and Agnes from France. It went reasonably well although it was a little bit bland due to my cooking style or lack of it. I guess food always tastes better when other people cook it.

Night Folks

Cheers Simon

PS I very nearly fell head first in the pool this morning. Kneeling over the rolled up pool cover to prime the vacuum cleaner hose and the cover rolled forwards towards the water. Certainly woke me up a bit. Very close!
