Hi folks,
Today - I finished filling some gaps in the shelves, took over some painting when Susan's shoulder was sore and nailed down the fibre board in the kitchen on to which Susan and I will lay the tiles. Susan finished her painting and started laying down some tiles in the planning phase of the tiling.
After lunch I drained the water tank on the trailer since I put some dam water in there the other day. I didn't know dam water was coming from that tap. Seeing as the dam looks a bit manky and is full of bird life I thought it would be a good idea to empty it. I dosed the tank with some Milton this morning before I did so.
We have new neighbours adjacent our tent. Nicky and her daughter Hannah who have come from NZ. They are in a Jayco camper borrowed from her brother who lives on the Gold Coast. He drove them and it up here. The camper shades the area where I have my solar panels so I will investigate moving them to the paddock out the front. As long as I have enough cable it should be fine.
Susan went into town to post a letter this afternoon and took Nicky and Hannah with her, while I went fishing. The fish are definitely learning. I only had one medium catfish and an under size callop that looked suspiciously like the one I caught the other day. I was cursing that I did not take my camera. As soon I arrived I would have had a great shot of an azure kingfisher and then some great platypus shots. One came past me to the next pool and on it's way back stopped on a log and had a good scratch. It then proceeded to swim straight past me about a metre from my feet! Sitting on the sloping sand bank on a bend in the river was quite idyllic. It was calm enough to see the bubbles rising from the submerged playtypus. Very relaxing.
Tea tonight was spagbol which was tasty followed by meringues, strawberries, cream and chocolate flakes.
Tomorrow the tiling, hopefully with out trauma.
Night folks
Simon
PS We have finally finished the 60 hours plus of the Bryce Courtenay talking book trilogy, Potato Factory, Tommo & Hawk and Solomon's Song. The story of the Solomon family over 3 generations set against the early history of Australia from Transportation from England to Tasmania, from whaling to the New Zealand Maori wars, the Gold rush and through to Gallipoli and the war in Europe. Very detailed and an enjoyable listen. We shall miss the saga.
