I had agreed to help Ann load some produce for the market this morning at 0545. I was awake at first light (which is actually about an hour and a half before sunrise) Simon awoke also for his early morning nature call, he plodded out across the yard to the loo wearing my dressing gown - he looks nice in pink!
From the top bunk the view across the channel toward Bruny Island looked enticing so I got up to take some photos. I attempted to get another half hour of sleep Simon was of course snoring again, and didn't wake until I roused him at 0730. By this time I had helped load the van and said farewell to Ann and had an enjoyable chat with Ness about her travels and HelpXing.
0506 am View across the Channel
Ann called to give a few instructions and let us know that a couple of WWOOFers were coming this evening, suggesting we decide to move to the house or use the cabin.
Our new home "The Cabin"
"The Cabin in daylight"
Having done some research on small houses I opted to stay in the cabin with a modification of sleeping on the mattress from the swag and using the bunks to store our clothes. We will arrange our mattress on the floor tonight. Readers might be interested to have a look at the Tumbleweed Tiny House
The main house
Sunrise 0614am
Ness departed about 1130 after her husband Edward arrived, we had a brief chat about how much one accumulates when you stay in one place for a while and waved them and their newly accumulated sofa farewell.
Simon busied himself with some minor repairs to our "rig" and I tackled the rhubarb patch, with a vague sense of déjà vu having weeded a similarly large patch some 280 kms away last week, the weeds here are worse! Simon was about to start whipper snippering in the veggie garden until rain halted play and has not ceased yet.
Ann left us to our own devices while she when out for dinner, we watched TV and ate dinner of steak and salad. The salad courtesy of Kay and Eric, just wish I could remember the name of tomato variety.
Early start tomorrow.
Night All

P.S. The new WOOFERs rang to say they changed their plans, so just S&S here for now!
P.P.S. Thanks for blogging Susan! I think our readers will appreciate a change in style for a while. Cheers Simon (who has much less hayfever today!)
