Day 179 Nubeena Monday 25th July 2011

Good evening,
This evenings blog is courtesy of Mr John Walker. I became acquainted with him again after a separation of many years. He came to community dinner with Fanfan and Morphine after being left behind in their unit by Walther. In my youth I added dry ginger but not tonight. I expect to be having nurofen in the morning. Unfortunately due to Mr Walkers influence i don't have an overly clear recollection of the day.
As i recall it was pretty standard fare. Ella had pushed her head through the chicken wire to bite bark off the tree so one of the first jobs was some more repairs.
2 eggs were laid under the Hilton rather than in it but I'll take that as a win.
The rest of the day was spent doing unspectacular chores. The highlight was digging up some large flat weeds with a fork in the pen and watching the mother hen seize morsels from the dirt and toss them to the chicks who seem to be growing rapidly. Today was the first time they drank en mass from an upturned lid. The internet tells me they need lots of water.
After vacuuming and mopping the unit i put our washing on and attended tea.
Tonight's tea was a blend of fresh (Tasmanian Trumpeter) and frozen fish (PFD Trevally) prepared by Susan. Fish bbq'ed by me. A few laughs as per usual.
We ended up on youtube watching THIS. Then we moved on to some 50yo Beatles videos thanks to Mr Walker and then we were the only ones left!
Tomorrow i am off to Hobart and beyond with the trailer to pick up vegetables and some large crates to use as planters in the greenhouse. I will also take the opportunity to kick some tyres on some laptops I feel the need to upgrade!

Night Folks

Chers Simon
