Hi Folks,
Another fine sunny day today.

The task of the day was removing papyrus in the dam. It was all hands on deck. I was assigned the brushcutter while Susan, Larry and Kevin removed the debris and sprayed the stumps with frog friendly round up. We used the old floating island as a platform. As we moved further out the papyrus became more floating and feet disappeared into the water. Susan managed to get one very wet foot. It was hot work swinging the brush cutter and the sweat was pouring off of me. We called a halt at lunchtime with plenty achieved. Today's question is how did they make paper from papyrus. The answer is
here
For some reason the hot water has gone cold in the house. With all the sweating today we are hoping it will be hot in the morning!

| Lemon butter yummy! |
After lunch I finished the filling job on the verandah. Susan pulled up lomandra and did some weeding. She then made lemon butter. The lemon butter accompanied ice cream and rock melon for dessert tonight ,which we had after vegetable soup.
night folks
