Good evening,
Welcome to tonight's edition of "Let's try and remember what we did today!"
Today was pool day. After the hordes of children from yesterday tramping in dirt and general crud it was time to clean the pool area. Mats out to dry in the sun, mop up the loose water and open the doors to dry the floor. Roll out 50 meter extension cord to rainwater tank pump to fill spa. Repair the broken vacuum cleaner head while floor is drying. Vacuum the dry floor, sweep up leaves from pot plants, perform chemical tests. Vacuum pool and repair brush pole, backwash pool filter. Make new cover plate for hole behind skimmer box and fit, mop entire floor. Run out of time to fill spa, roll up extension cord put all tools and materials away. Work over! No beer in fridge aaargh!
Pull yabby pot containing a medium sized short finned eel from creek. Take pot to reception to show Susan and Aisling and get chastised for eel slime dripping on floor. Susan was training Aisling on the mysteries of reception as she will have it to her self on Friday! Release eel into dam when retrieving second empty pot
Susan cooks tasty omelette for tea. Watch final episode of Doctor Who in this series.
I am off tomorrow. This has been an on and off day off but it looks like it is on now. Time to get the roof bag out to work out the best size of lidded storage boxes to keep our gear dry when the bag leaks. It is now midnight...again!
Night Folks
cheers Simon
