Today we have a bank holiday, but we have elected to stay home and avoid the crowds. We went into Bo’s restaurant for lunch yesterday and it was totally packed out and overflowing. The waitresses were literally running to try and keep up and Bo and all her thee kids were working full steam to try and cope. Today we had a quiet lunch at home with our own cheese and salad, a bottle of wine and perfect peace. The sun is shining, and the house is toasty warm, so we do not feel under pressure to go anywhere.
I have made a start on the accounts this week and so far, all the receipts are logged and the last of the financial year’s bills sent out. There is still a lot to do but it gets easier once all the stray bits of paper are under control. I have started doing some research into my mother’s life so that I can put down some sort of story for future generations. She did not want a eulogy, but this does leave something of a gap. Before she died she sent me out many of the stories she had written about her childhood, so perhaps I have inherited this duty.
Edd has continued work in the top paddock clearing up the dead trees and slashing ti-tree. We have lots of fire wood in the shed, so he is giving lots of the wood he has cut to friends. Apparently, we are having an exceptionally dry season, so this sort of work is still possible. Most of our water is coming from the heavy dews we get at night when the temperature drops. It is a big relief not to be watering the vegetables.
