Post repair picture. Not very exciting as pictures go. The lights are $80 each!
Hi Folks,
Some sad news to start the day. The ducklings seem to have disappeared. It seems inevitable that they have met a grisly fate although there is nor direct evidence. Te duck pond is at the wild end of the property where ravens, kookaburras and probably cats abound. The mother did not seem to thave the same protective inclinations as the hens which can get quite savage. The hens are also in a more civilised area. There is a duck still sitting on a nest so we may get another chance. Next time we may have to intervene and provide a safe haven.
This mornings job was replacing the lights at the entrance. Unfortunately two of the bases were broken so this prolonged the task. It was then on to cooking the bbq for the open day. The turn out was small but the bbq was good as was the wine and the beer.
Showers and rain put in an appearance this afternoon. i happened upon the start of the Wales v Ireland rugby match which i thoroughly enjoyed. Aisling our irish helper was watching it in one of the units. I was looking for her about 10 minutes from the end to ensure she wasn't doing any self harm.
We had another BBQ for tea from the the left over meat which was lamb chops ,an unheard of luxury and steaks. Topped off with Susan's sticky date pudding served with with cream and ice cream. A nice relaxed evening.
night folks
Cheers Simon
