Hi All,
Today was full steam ahead finalising preparations for the big party tomorrow evening. Ann "supplies the venue and the guests supply the menu" in actual fact Ann also provides food, drink, crockery, cutlery, etc, etc. This is an annual farewell to the old year albeit a few days early for her friends and neighbours in Woodbridge. I think the count is somewhere approaching 60!
Ann went to "town" (Hobart) to finalise food purchases, while we toiled in the garden, finishing off a two tiered soil moving operation. This involved moving clay from holes in the mound to the creek and the more friable soil (from an over wide bed) into the holes. Now, I have been known to play musical plants but never musical dirt.... guess that is the beauty of gardens anything can be useful in he right spot even clay! Eventually some shrubs will be planted onto the mound.
I also planted some jasmine to sunken pots in the southern deck, did a bit of house cleaning. Later when I sat down to shell peas and beans with a glass of chilled white wine, Simon headed out to do a spot of fishing. After reading last nights blog if he doesn't use those rods a bit more often, they might find their way into the rationalisation pile, seeing as we are apparently reassessing our travel set up!
Ohh he didn't catch anything, but he did dig an oyster off a rock and pronounced it quite tasty, apparently there are mussels nearby and he has suggested he make chowder in the near future yum!
Ann reckons she is going to sleep in late tomorrow, we should have laid a bet, we dont think she will make 8am let alone 10am.
Night all
Susan
