Day 18 Gulmarrad Monday 25th June 2012

Evening folks,
Not a huge amount to report today.
We continued on with our hay bale adventure. Progress is steady but unspectacular. My hands are sore from bending wire. The devil is in the detail since each step we complete brings different tasks to be completed. We had to make two more small top plates for the top of the bales. Easy enough except when the wood is jarrah. Susan made most of the boxes after I cut the timber.

Tomorrow a break from the room as we tend to the animals. Need to rig up a gate to allow the sheep into the paddock near the road then brush cut down the undergrowth enveloping the electric fence. Hopefully if the battery has arrived I can fix the fence and let the pig out of her enclosure into a bit more space.

Carl and Misato

I took Misato to the bus stop tonight at 6. She has a 2 hour trip to her next Helpex at Evans Head. We will miss her quiet efficiency especially in the cooking and dishes department. Hopefully we will catch up again.

I had a quick search for Susan's phone just now as it seems to have disappeared and calls go straight to message bank. Last seen yesterday when we were out and about and it was fully charged. We think it might be in the house, which has a double layer of chicken wire under the render which tends to creates an effective shield. Hope it turns up tomorrow.

Cheers Simon
