Hi Folks,
A glorious autumn day here. Batiste and I adjourned to the creek first up. I gently chainsawed some branches from trees clogging the creek continuing the clean up project. We shovelled the ash from the previous fire into the barrow and carted it up close to the garden beds to use as a potassium supplement. The big problem down the creek is still the blackberries. It is difficult to brushcut them when they are on the creek bank for fear of falling in. Then when they resprout they require spraying which I think will be tricky adjacent the water. I need to research this further. I did do some spraying this afternoon of the ever sprouting weeds around the accommodation.
Peeking into the old pool test kits I found we had the necessary ingredients to do the total alkalinity test. I did them and was surprised to find the pool was almost in range I guess due to evaporation whereas the spa was low probably as it is constantly being backwashed and topped up. The aquaerobics ladies complained the pool was cold today. Actually it was about 24 this morning so it is cooling slowly from its normal 28 with out gas to fire the heater. Hopefully the gas will arrive tomorrow.
Another piece of good news is that my walkie talkie battery packs and charger have been repaired by Uniden and are on my way back to me. Many thanks to the folks at Electric Bug in Adelaide.
I did shoot the video today but it is still in the editing suite. Hopefully it will be ready tomorrow night.
Susan was out chanting tonight so I took the opportunity to re watch Conspiracy Theory as it came up in conversation here yesterday.
Anyway it's bed time
night folks
Simon
