Looks like a Salmo Salar being held by a stunned mullet
Finally a fish worth posing for!! Ok so it's only around 5kg but what the heck you have to start somewhere!
Hello all,
Tonight's blog is brought to you by several eminent persons. Mr Wolf Blass, Mr Bill Taylor and Mr William Penfold. We had community dinner tonight. Twas only four of us the two S's, Ilan, and Tony from the Hobart Mercury. The repast was a reprise of the potato and leek soup, followed by fresh chunky Atlantic Salmon fillets and finished off with apple crumble. My contribution? hmm very little, I filleted enormous Salmon, picked carrots, retrieved sultanas from storeroom, and arrived in time to finish cooking of salmon fillets to perfection. The rest was all Susan's doing!
The wines, Wolf Blass Riesling 2009. Superb. Too cold from the fridge but as it warmed opened into a beautiful floral bouquet. Grapes come and grapes go but you can't beat a good Riesling. The Taylor's chardonnay was competent as was the Penfolds reserve port. Hmm do Penfolds still make the Magill port? I must investigate,
Now to the days events. 3 eggs as per usual, well done girls! My main task of the day was erecting the electric fence for the travelling goat enclosure. The most difficult part was locating the star picket/dropper driver. I was having a man's look and of course it was where it was supposed to be. Once the fence was constructed Ilan put the goats in tethered by a short cord to each other. We had the fence power set to low which was good when Ella scrambled under and kept dragging Phoebe into the wire. Boy did she jump. Susan was screaming "turn it off, turn it off". We need a bit of a rethink with the cable height and an extra cable.
After tea i wandered into the cafe for a few more sips and to claim a rain check coffee from Amanda. It has turned into a late night after an 11pm spa. It's a tough job but some one has to do it. Tomorrow morning will be "struggle town"
Oh and the teaser from last night. Look at the pictures folks!
Night Simon
