Today we said goodbye to our Taiwanese friends. I am sure they haven't experienced anything like here before in their lives. I was actually in town to see them board the bus since I had to go buy some oil for the brush cutter.
We all had Taiwanese tea this morning |
They had to wheel their bags to Imbil |
20 minutes solid walk ahead |
Cya later guys we will miss you |
I brush cut one of the terrace garden beds. It was pretty woody in parts necessitating a change from line to the blade on the head.
Susan meantime pottered in the kitchen providing breakfast, morning tea and lunch. Dan was away buying steel in Gympie to make a rack to transport his motor bike and later in the afternoon welding same together.
Michael and Kurt put the roof bearers on Woodhenge today |
The unwanted excitement of the day was when we were in the paddock having our showers. I spotted something on Susan's neck, a closer inspection showed it to be a tick! I high tailed it up the hill for advice and returned with plastic tick removal tools. This worked but in hindsight I should have followed the advice I googled about using pointy tweezers close up against the skin and pulling gently. Since there might be some bits still in the skin. Anyway no allergic reaction just a jollya sore spot which now has magnoplasm and a band aid on it. Just have to wait and see how it goes. Of course we are now paranoid about every small bug we see.
After this excitement I started soaking 2 buckets of washing to try and get the clay stains out
Tea was sausages and veg. Max the French helper was supposed to return today but has a bike problem so we may not see him to say goodbye.
The weather forecast looks excellent for the next few days.
night folks
Simon
