Hi from the blogosphere,
Peaceful day today. 4 of, well actually all of our helpers went on the Tasman Island cruise today. The day started under grey wet skies and they were given the option of another day. They took today and were rewarded with Orca's. Yes the killer whales a rare sighting on the tours.
Meanwhile back at the ranch i took the time to catch up on the wet areas after the carnage of Easter and the school holidays. I followed this up with other minor chores. I also went through 9 DVD players to work out which ones were actually working which was 8 and got our one working in the unit. The big task today was trying out the new coffee grinder and the expresso machine. A promising start with the grinder but some refinement needed with the expresso machine to make the coffee to our taste strength wise. I was pretty close with my last effort however my eyes were starting to spin round with all the sampling so i will leave it for tomorrow. I also noticed the pressure gauge wasn't working. This is a measures the back pressure when you are steaming the grind so is good for judging consistency of packing and grind size. Looks like I will be ringing HN to see whether we take it back for exchange or have to go to the warranty mob in Hobart. A nice 170km round trip, sighs.
I had a couple of spa's today which were nice and relaxing. Tonight Susan and Weiting were watching "House" on the big screen in the barn. I think Weiting really needs Chinese sub titles though! I shall have to crowbar my way in to watch last nights (in the UK) Doctor Who tomorrow night.
Cheers Folks
Simon
