Day 181 Nubeena Wednesday 27th July 2011
The apple boxes and the trailer from yesterday.
I don't know that if they actually decided to move the straps would do anything
Boxes lined and filled in the skinless green house
Hello,
A chilly start to the day with our second day of a nice white frost and too boot the water in the chooks bowls had a good film of ice. However it is not overly cold here in the south probably because we are surrounded by water. Certainly it was colder when we were in Peterborough (SA) last year.
Today was spent mainly shuffling items that arrived in the shipping container yesterday. The big move was the large stainless steel kitchen bench from the shipping container to the games room. The rest of the project is proceeding with concrete being laid today and said kitchen installed on its plinth.
The rest of the day was fairly standard. The chickens produced 3 eggs. The goats annoyed me again managing to split the skin on my finger when they pulled extremely hard when it was trapped between a rope and a star picket. The bad news for them is it looks like we have all the components for an electric fence. We will move their old house inside the wire and move the fence as required which will obviate having to bring them in and out each day. I want to be a fly on the wall the first time they bite the fence cable like they do everything else! Whether it will contain them successfully remains to be seen.
We had cafe pizzas for tea very nice. The "Ellis" which has now appeared officially on the menu was very tasty.
Susan has given up alcohol, coffee, chocolate, cheese and is back on the fish oil and glucosamine plus mineralised water to try and improve her arthritic fingers. She reported that after day 1 there was a marked improvement. She was going to celebrate but the question was "how?"
The other surprise of the day was ..... no it can wait until tomorrow when we have a picture. This is what's called a cliffhanger in journalistic parlance to make sure you return
That's all for today folks
Cheers Simon
