A hot day today and the sweat was pouring off of us. Susan and Sara were working on the bank above the house removing the grass and weeds. I was on the down slope working on the lantana which was a metre or so above my head. I used the chain saw to slash into it but it was slow progress. Susan had the whole bank cleared and I managed about 10 square metres. The upside of the heat was the sun being out most of the day so power galore from the panels. I had one on the trailer and one on the car most of the day cranking out a combined 13.6 amps.

This afternoon I was ushered down to the pool to apply my limited expertise to the green water problem. After viewing the test results my brief technical summary was "It's beyond salvaging" or words to that effect. However I may have to recant that tomorrow as the chlorine bounced up nicely with an addition and it may just need a bit of acid to get the pH under control. Time will tell. It would be nice to empty it (27000 litres) and start again.

Our hosts were out at dusk so Susan cooked tea for us. Sara and Susan watched BabaKiueria an interesting role reversal TV short film.
The earth moving equipment has arrived for tomorrow. Should be an interesting day.
night folks
