Hi folks,
Another productive day today. Susan did a lot of tidying and replacing of the deck furniture and fittings. I built 2 little ramps to enable the rideon mower to exit from around the vegetable garden with less bucking and excitement. This morning was also marked by a breif heavy shower of rain.
We then prepared for the inaugaural firing of the BBQ and use of the refinished setting. I lit the fire early to burn the paint off and managed to burn hairs off of both arms. Suan helped with the food preparation.
The BBQ was beset by howling wonds that died away as soon as the guests arrived which was a blessing. The food was superb reflecting Anns restaurant background.. The only problem was the BBQ was a bit hot although once i put the grid on top of the frame it was a bit less searing. There wa a fat fire in one of the cooking trays that burned while the pan was on the ground. I managed to splash the hot oil on my leg. i did manage to get through the rest of the evening without any more mishaps. Apart from sunbmerging my left foot in the swamp next to the creek. It was a good evening, We met Fintan and Ruth from Woodbridge Hill Retreat. Fintan is also the local grave digger for the southern district. After the guests departed we sat around the brazier. Susan fetched torches so we could examine the splashing in the vcreek. We did see some good sized eels as well as the galaxias feeding on the surface. After 5 hours the wood fire had subsided enough to be a good BBQ cooking fire!
The four of us returned to the house to do the dishes and tidy up. Susan and i had several glasses of cheer so no doubt i will be feeling it in the head in the morning and Susan in the fingers.
Our last day at Woodbridge tomorrow. It has been a lot of fun.
Cheers Folks
Simon
