Hi All,
I arose at the ungodly hour of 6:30 this morning but in the end the bosses mind blew the other way and I didn't have to endure the trip to Hobart and return. I was able to do a few not very notable but useful jobs around the place.
From then it was a day trying to keep people usefully employed. We did manage to demolish the partially constructed greenhouse that blew down in a storm and get 2 frames up after a fashion. It's made of metal tube and tall and hard to handle so a bit of a challenge.
Today's funny incident occurred when the two Taiwanese girls Tatiana and WeiTing in all seriousness asked Susan if they could take pictures in the kitchen of the tomatoes being used for green chutney. When she said yes they squealed with delight and ran from the room. 20 minutes later I was explaining "Silly as a cut snake" to them.
After work at 5:00 I went down to the rocks at White Beach where a couple of our helpers had gone fishing. I couldn't find them but 20 minutes of lure fishing produced two "barry coutas" of small but very edible size.
After a pizza tea we adjourned to the shed for a movie evening and inflicted the Coen Brothers "Lady Killers" on our foreign helpers. A few laughs but at the end of the day a below par film. It give me an excuse to light the fire again though! Susan supplied popcorn for the microwave!
That is all
Simon
