Today started with a run to the shop with Heidi where I purchased an expresso.
After breakfast we started on cleaning out the shed since an excavator is to remove the rock retaining wall and dig a drain next week. In common with most sloping properties this way when it rains the water buckets down the hill flooding everything. The drain should stop the area under the garage from flooding and enable it to be transformed into accommodation for Helpxers.
After lunch we had a tour of the property. There are 4 dwellings well spaced out in the grounds and a green looking swimming pool. Many unusual fruit trees. We tried Strawberry Figs today which were interesting.
The rest of the day meandered along with a latish tea at 730. The local shop has a reasonably priced liquor room so I availed myself of more beer. Coopers 62 pilsener which I have had before and liked replacing the now finished Victoria Pale Ale which was pretty insipid.

The day was warm so we enjoyed the camper trailer outdoor shower mid afternoon. The only draw back was carting the water in the bucket and pumping it in.
A short thunderstorm tonight probably a portent of things to come as the wetter months approach. A good time not to be under the canvas!
night all
