Morning at the retreat
Magpie for Simon
Sunset at the retreat
Sunset reflected on the water
Evening folks,
Busy day for the few hands on deck at the resort today. It was just Susan and I this morning. Nik and Rose took the van to go to Shipsterns Bluff on a bushwalk. Morph and Fan were off and went to Hobart.
Surprise surprise my back was sore again today this time as a result of plugging the hose into a vacuum cleaner. I took my pills and headed off to Hobart stopping at Sorell for food shopping then into Hobart to pickup our three new helpers Lian (Taiwan), Elodie and Mael (France) A quick trip to the land titles office and the asian grocery and it was back to Sorell for fuel and then on to Nubeena in darkness.
Concerns were raised that Nik and Rose had not returned so around 630 I was back in the car taking the track to the walking spot. About 80% of the way there I encountered them driving back so it was a relieved circling of the wagon and back to the Resort. They had stayed to watch the sunset from the lookout and finished the walk by torchlight.
Lovely Lasagne tea prepared by Lynne with a meringue/ice cream/fruit/melted chocolate dessert. Plenty of humor and laughs over tea along with wine of course. The dishes done it was time for a few more laughs with before retiring to bed. The spa was mysteriously cloudy tonight so I gave it a bit of "treatment" and will leave the filter running overnight. A full complement of helpers tomorrow and the weather is looking fine so it should be a good day.
On the home front our tenant and friend Mike has departed Australia to return to the states. We will miss his humor and the care he has shown for our home. Jonathan (my son) will be taking over residence when he returns from his overseas holiday. However the first resident will be Alyce's (my daughter) broken commodore which she has assured me will be gone by August.
night folks
cheers Simon
