Day 77 Nubeena Tuesday 12th April 2011

Hi Folks,

A day of solid rain today! Must have been 60mm all up.

This morning I introduced Jimmy to some of the basic tasks of pool maintenance and then set him to cleaning up the shed in preparation for chanting tonight. In the end it was not required since the event was moved into the main building. As the rain increased in volume the drainage inadequacies of the roofs became evident so I donned my water proofs and clambered around them clearing gutters. After that I dug some trenches around the water tanks to channel away the overflow from the shed. Then it was on to rounding up the chickens and shooing them back into the pen. Had to laugh they were standing in the pouring rain drinking water from the water bin. The evening was spent doing some small equipment repairs and tidying up.

Susan spent a long day in the standing and working in the laundry and is suffering tonight with pain in her thighs. Hopefully nurofen and a hot water bottle will settle things down.

Night folks

Cheers Simon
