Hi Folks,
The weather was a bit weird overnight. Could hear plopping noises which was fog condensing on the tree above us and falling as drops. The fog eventually burnt off by 9.
We started our HelpX proper today. We are working on a house being built at the front of the property.
Susan was painting steelwork under the house and later the treads for the steps. I was assembling the treads onto the steel support brackets. We were up at 630 for an early breakfast and started work at 730. Work ceased just after 1130 for lunch and the rest of the day was ours.

I took the opportunity to haul out my fishing gear and go dig some worms from the vegetable patch. While Susan read her book and dozed in the sun I adjourned to the bottom of the property to the Stanley River. The main catch was around 10 catfish all of which were returned to the water, a small callop and the highlight a nice pan sized bass. The first I have ever caught. Susan strolled down later in the afternoon and we returned to the house about 5 after the bait supply was exhausted. Will have to dig more tomorrow! I am feeling lucky and hoping to bag a cod! The only downside today was losing an expensive Rapala lure. I cast it across the stream hit tree branches and miraculously jerked it free only to do the same thing next cast getting it well and truly stuck. I did start to cross the river over a fallen tree trunk but common sense prevailed and I snapped it off. Bass fillets for breakfast in the morning.
All in all an excellent day at the office.
night folks
cheers Simon
