Day 49 Imbil Thursday 26th July 2012

Hi all,

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
