The UNO game
Serving Tea L to R Selina, Doris and Aisling
Hi Folks.
Average working day here if such a thing exists. Unboxed and installed a brand new convection microwave in unit 19 to replace the one that the burning smell came out of last week. Spent some time repairing a mop bucket that had cracked around the base using aluminium strip and rivets. Time will tell if it is successful. Mopped the pool, mopped the back decks and mopped some verandahs day over. The brooding hen was off her nest this morning prompting me to race back to take the photo of the approximately 19 eggs. There is going to be chickens coming out of our a err earholes.
We have a new helper a girl from Ireland named Aisling (pronounced Ashling). She looks like she will be good value and makes her first appearance in the blog in tonight's pictures.
Daylight saving has not helped the timing of dinner. Susan cooked again tonight a good lasagne. It is now 1030 the rest of the helpers are sitting at the kitchen bench playing UNO and I am contemplating going down the creek and dam to check the yabby traps I set this afternoon. My fear is that they have been mutilated by eels.
I'll check them after I have published this so you will all be on tenterhooks until tomorrow. Stay tuned eager listener.
Cheers Simon
Footnote: Might as well get the anticlimax over and done with now. Yabbies are a feral species in Tasmania with fines up to $25000 for moving them around. They do have several species of freshwater crayfish all of which are protected. So I shall wash and dry the nets and put them away tomorrow.
