Got up for my morning walk last week and was confronted with this sight!
For a moment, I had the sickening thought that the ship had run aground but it appeared to be exercising its small boats!
Went to Candelo Markets on Sunday requiring early rising! The whole sky seemed to be on fire!
Got home this afternoon to discover a big bag of lemons and a bottle of Mallacoota moonshine on the doorstep! Lemon slice for the donor methinks!
Very excited as have just purchased a Furphy water cart! We have a Furphy tank end (1920) that we did up as a water feature and will now have a cart to match! The tank is circa 1942. The picture beneath is not of our cart but it is similar with the exception of the wheels.
Our Australiana collection is growing! In addition to the Furphys we collect Perfect teapots and Robur memorabilia. I also collect Nevil Shute novels, particularly those with the beautiful old dust covers that were taken from paintings. My brothers have added to my collection of Nevil Shute novels over the years for which I am most grateful!
Yoga class this morning - boy oh boy! There are so many things you can stretch..... Tracey also does beautiful felting and makes soaps and hats.
Surprise birthday lunch at the pub tomorrow for our lovely next door neighbour Eric. When we first bought our block, Eric, his wife Lyn and sister in law Di wandered up through the back of the block and couldn't have been more welcoming. Eric and Lyn hadn't moved here yet so it is a lovely irony that last year they bought the house next door.
Signing off now. On the cards for tomorrow - throwing mulch around in a vain attempt to smother the weeds. Can't get over the worms that have appeared where the last lot of mulch was layered! Need to start planting some dichondra seeds to fill the cracks between the newly laid, home made pavers. Chook house needs to be located/fox proofed as new chooks inbound at the end of the month. Have to collect some prizes for Angling Club presentation night and think of witty things for the MC to say about each prize winner. Off to the local community bank to collect posters for the forthcoming community forum and to the school to drop off inserts for the local newspaper (produced by the school). Need to drop off a membership form - signing up a new family for the Angling Club. Might even get some knitting in. I was lucky enough to be given heaps of yarn from a friend and am using some of it to knit her a scarf that looks like the one beneath - the one I am making is green.
