Hi folks,
Drum roll ... day 300 .. tah dah.
We celebrated by learning a new skill. Fence making. Kenny put the poles in yesterday as you may recall and a couple of wires with Susan watching. He gave us another 5 minute training session and we set to it. The wire we were using is quite hard according to Kenny rather than the softer grade which is easier to bend. The wire was hard for Susan to bend and cut. We persevered and did a reasonable job although if you look at the pictures you can see a definite lack of vertical alignment between similar elements. We can now add fence building to our CV. This was a 6 strand fence 5 electric and one earth.
We rounded out the day with Susan cutting the lawn and cooking tea and me transplanting carrots and completing the minor rust repair on the pajero.
I have included a picture of "hydro". He gave me a good laugh last night when i was bending into the engine bay of the Pajero and his head suddenly appeared in the bay from underneath.
We are going to pack tomorrow and go to Sheffield to see the murals. We will sleep here tomorrow night and leave first thing Friday for our next assignment. We have resolved to take a couple of weeks between future postings to do the 100% tourist thing.
Night folks

cheers Simon
