This morning I finished off cleaning the shelving before joining Susan to continue the mulching. We use the mower to pull the yellow barrow with the compost in it to place on the beds. As you are aware the property is quite hilly and the mower is fairly feeble, We also had a couple of showers this morning which made the grass wet and slippery. To navigate to today's work location you have to go up the driveway before going back down. The natural inclination is to load the barrow as much as possible. On one of the early trips I had put too much in. Susan has been regularly pushing me and the mower up hills. Today I had to also alight and push the throttle down whilst also pushing. This caused much laughter from Kathy and Ann as we went passed the kitchen. Susan set Ann up with the video so we could film the next load. As you can see it is not quite Dean Semler quality but you get the idea.
I toodled up to Kingston after lunch to get an LPG fill and go to Repco for their sale. On my return I used the Mothers clay bar kit I purchased to clean the bonnet paint work of some very adherent particles discovered when i tried to polish it. The product works really well which it should do for the price they charge for it.
Lamb shank casserole for tea was excellent.
Tomorrow is a big mowing day. I started today since we needed the cuttings when the mulch ran out.
Our days here are drawing to a close and there is still much to do! Once again we will run out of time. We keep having to remind ourselves to stick to 30 hours per week. Or should I say I keep having to remind Susan!
cheers Simon
