Flash back into the "old" helpers kitchen. L to R Selina, Romain, Alison and Conrad.
Part of the school party in the cafe.
Hi All,
My feet hurt. It has been a long day. I started off with another animal and pool introduction this morning with Josh. The rest of the day was gopherism for Susan as she arranged the myriad of tasks required for the school visit for the next two nights. Forty five people, two dinners, one lunch and two breakfasts. This will be followed by 16 rooms on Friday! In the lull this afternoon I hid for two hours on the Toro mower down by the creek. What a great little machine. It has hydraulic independent hydrauliclly driven wheels via two levers so can turn on its' own diameter. Down the hill looks a lot tidier. I would have done more but I didn't have the will to build some bridges over the drainage ditches.
The party from Castlemaine arrived on time. Dinner was skilfully executed thanks to Selina, Alison, Romain and Conrad. The kids ate in the cafe since we didn't have the chairs and tables to seat them! Phil popped in to help out and to make sure we didn't destroy the kitchen. 45 people make a shipload of dishes! but many hands knocked them off. The helpers were able to enjoy the fruits of their labour for tea. After they retired Susan Karen and myself set up the breakfast for the morning. An early breakfast since they have to be on the boat cruise by 7. Susan will be up at 530. Then it is on to sandwich making in time for the bus driver to pick their lunches up by 9. I am on dinner detail and theoretically don't start till the afternoon. It's an easy dinner, BBQ. Well there is coleslaw and apple crumble to make.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
