The blackberry gully we are clearing. They extended almost to the front of the picture to the right of the trees and a fair way to the left and well above head height. You can just see some in the centre background about 20 metres away.
The duck house. The nets will go shortly.
The ducks!
Hi Folks,
A day of tidying today. I rearranged the garden shed and managed to start the 2 Stroke Victa Vac which looks like a good little machine. Much better than the normal blower type vacuums. Well better than the cheapies we have here. I also managed to get the tiller going as well. This is also a Victa. I tried it out on one of the garden beds. It didn't seem anywhere near as good as the one I used the other day when we planted the garlic.
We also tidied the shed across the road. Susan and Ilan did most of it. I loaded some tree prunings on top of the ones they had already loaded before i arrived and unloaded them on the next bonfire site at the resort.
The cafe people have surfaced. D-Day is next Wednesday should be interesting.
It was a calm sunny day and I was enticed to the rocks at White Beach for a fish. Unfortunately the wind was there in my face along with a good swell so it wasn't very pleasant. After losing a $15 lure I decided to retire to the jetty before dusk. Managed to catch half a dozen "Snottys" which I returned to the water since they were under the 250mm minimum. They are called snottys because of the consistency of their slime covering. Their official name is Blue Warehou and they are good eating so I am told. Anyway it has whetted my appetite for some more fishing. Other species caught locally are mackeral, couta, flathead, cod and squid. I did see a few garfish under the lights the other day so maybe a day trip might be in order. Definately can't buy "gents" down here though unfortunately. I could have stayed fishing longer but the breeze and general cold air made the tips of my fingers numb so I retired back to the resort and the heat of the spa.
At least we have a nice warm bed to sleep in unlike our animals huddled in their shelters. I guess they are made for it. The ducks were out swimming on the pond today not that my pictures show it. I went to take snaps and they all came racing over expecting a feed.
Night Folks.
Simon
