Today started a little earlier than normal as we farewelled Larry who is off up north for work and won't be back until Sunday.
After our morning coffee and breakfast we started on the mulching completing the areas near the bower bird nest. Then we adjorned to our favourite weeding jobs, Lantana for Simon and Ageratum for me.

| The mauve "ornamental" variety |
Unfortunately the rain a few days ago seems to have invigorated the plants and newly sprouted plants were in evidence, to top that off I noticed a very large mauve lantana near the yurt. We had the usual google search and a physical comparison to establish it is classed as an ornamental variety, but still a classified noxious weed! Tommorrow the curtain falls. It is unfortunate really that plants with spectacular flowers often become problematic for us humans, and there are some particularly attractive Lantana varieties.
Simon completed the sanding and bogging of the timber beams, it will be ready for painting on Thursday.
We had a late lunch and a leisurly afternoon, I did practice some house cleaning in "our" bathroom which was in need of a vacumm after Simons beard trim.
Corey made hamburgers for tea and we started watching a half dozen movies before settling on the Mel Gibson "What women want" we decided it was funnier the first time.
Kevin is burning the midnight oil and will set off to pick up the new helper from the train station shortly.
