View from the deck of snow on the peak of Mount Picton (I think) about 80km away. After travelling through Dover I think it is more likely to be Adamsons Peak.
Hello,
A split day off for us. I worked while Susan trundled to Hobart and Sorell to shop,lunch in a pub, attend a book launch.
Today's weather was magnificent with clear views to the snowy peak of what I have calculated is Adamsons Peak about 70km away.
Apart from the usual chores the day for me was spent digging the trenches with Morphine. The soil is interesting dense and dark to about 30-40cm deep but by 50cm resembles beach sand. Anyway the trenches are finished so that is one onerous job out of the way.
I found another 8 eggs today in a different location that i searched the other day when there was egg laying clucking going on but no eggs were produced. The nest pictured the other day has no new additions. Suzanne volunteered to do the egg float test on the batch of 22 gathered the other day. They all failed so will be buried in a hole somewhere tomorrow. The 8 I found today passed with flying colours. What to do with the remaining 7 in the nest? Leave them to see what happens i guess. They are marked with texta so any new additions can be hoiked out.
Anyway let's hope for more fine weather as I feel the urge to do some walking.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
