Day 218 Nabiac Friday 11th January 2013

Hi folks,

A warm steamy evening, a portent of a 41 degree day tomorrow. Should make for some fun painting.

Yesterday and last night the horses were in the corral adjacent our camper. This morning their dung was rather smelly and they seemed to have deposited it adjacent the closest fence. However the wind blew from the south alleviating my nasal distress and obviating the need to shovel it away.

First job off the rank was to Gerni the mirrors on the solar oven. This made a fair difference to the reflectivity. However traditional sponge and water might have been better except for the fact the mirrors would have to be dismantled for access. The rest of the day was mainly spent painting. This is like building the pyramids however it will get finished especially since we have a window of 3 days with one unit empty.

Susan meanwhile was back on the sheets, watering the gardens, emptying and tidying the used pots, sewing up a couple of lounge suites and doing the family washing as well as cleaning the beeswax pots and driving to town to buy food. She also vacuumed out Anna's car.

And even longer
That was the day. The internet has been flaky tonight making me grumpy, hard to believe I know. Susan watched the movie "Bucket List" which she enjoyed.
