Day 179 Macadamia capital of Australia Monday 3rd December 2012

Hi Folks,

No we haven't moved, still in Dunoon just publishing its claim to fame. I spent the first part of the day picking up large rocks and wheeling them up the hill to the pile. They had been uncovered during the earthworks the other day. The whole area is volcanic soil with lots of Basalt and Rhyolite which fractures pretty readily leaving lots of shrapnel in the ground. Susan worked on her patch by the tent. After morning tea I was on the chain saw with everyone helping clear the debris. The saw is drinking bar oil at the moment. I don't know if it is the oil or just the way it is. I bought some more today of a different brand and will see if that cures it.

Susan's jack jumper bite is looking decidedly weepy

It was warm again today and we both showered before heading to the big smoke of Lismore at 1. We trotted through our chores although I never got to my wishlist of shops. I did spend some time looking at glasses frames as I am contemplating a new pair since my premium multifocals are falling to pieces. Not much change out of $600. Susan spent some time present buying for grandchildren.

We returned at 530 and the rest of the evening was idled away. It rained steadily but not overly heavily for 3 hours which cooled things off nicely.

That's your lot for tonight.

cheers Simon
