Sanding

Kevin in the pond

Hi Folks,
We continued on with our "big" tasks. Susan working on the decks and me on the outdoor setting. Susan was also engaged in slicing up about 40kg of plums.
I was able to secure a mixing whisk and a rechargeable drill to mix the two pack waterproof sealer. All four batches seemed to go off without a hitch as i followed the directions to the letter especially the induction time which is when you let it sit before using.
Susan is working around the decks section by section with another couple of days to go to finish depending on the weather.
Kevin is in the waders cutting the bullushes loading them onto a lilo cut from an old inflatable boat and carting them back to shore. The mud at the bottom of the ponds is pretty pongy.  He has been out trying to take pictures of the local wild life tonight with out much luck.
After work we went to the pub for a talk on th settlement of  Australia and Tasmania by the indigenous inhabitants. The colonisation was explained in terms of sea levels and the fact that colonisers tended to advance 25km per generation. Since it was held at the pub we aso had a couple of drinks. It was an interesting talk. They apparently have a presentation every Thursday.
Tea was a nice roast chicken with more wine.
Life is pretty good. We have decided to leave here around the 19th and travel to Nubeena to catch up with a few people. Then we will go up the east coast via hobart so Susan can have a check up on her nose.
That's the news of the day

cheers Simon
