Hi Folks,
A warm sunny day again. We packed away the swag after cooking off the dew in the sun and set up the camper trailer on the driest patch of ground we could find. We are well on the way to settling in and looking forward to some good outcomes and continuing good weather.
Under Carl's direction we started rebuilding the hay bale walls. It was fairly straight forward as things always are when someone is telling you how to get it right. It will be interesting to see how the walls look with respect to straightness before they are finally shaved with the brushcutter.
After lunch I was anointed to chop up the duck carcass with a meat clever. It was boiled up in a pot and became the basis of a vegetable stew which we had for tea with rice. Quite a reasonable meal. The only downside was a few bits of bone floating around probably splintered off by multiple cleaver strikes in the same cut. I shall remember that for next time.
Other than that not a huge mount to report. The ground here is still pretty muddy although it has dried a slightly today. If it rains again we will consider rubber boots.
night folks
Cheers Simon
