The pipe is now joined to the end coming up from the dam
March 1, 2019
Yesterday Our two Finnish workers came to see us again before they set off to SA in their van. We were all really happy to see them again and had a great time. They helped us put the top on the gazebo that Dan started assembling . We would never have got it on without the extra man ( and women) power.
Edd is working hard on the dam water system. Since finding the end of the pipe he has connected up a tap and a line to the dam and filled in all the holes he dug in the roof during the pipe search. Today we brought a new pump to go on the tank and he is busy connecting that up. Our water situation is deteriorating. We have lots of dam water, but the drinking water is going down fast and there is little hope of enough rain to put the situation right.
The land continues to dry out and keeping plants and trees alive is a battle. It is a good thing Dan stayed on because there are not enough hours in a day for me to water everything. We read on the news that there are wild fires in Scotland. It seems unbelievable. More unbelievable is the fact that our leaders are still doing nothing that might help the earth deal with this crisis.
Bo is working hard to establish a career as a music therapist and she is really happy about the positive feedback she gets. Working in the restaurant was a pretty thankless job. She was criticised for not being profitable enough and everything else. She was doing the work to help her husband’s brewery but somehow that fact got lost in the detail. Yarra Glen looks a bit lost without people sat under the umbrellas on the pavement.
Al and Pip have been away this week in Brisbane attending a conference, but they made time to visit Josh and Bobby and introduce them to Pele. I wish we could visit them too, but we have lots of bookings now that Summer is officially ended. Next week we have building students and on the 18ththe first school camp. As usual it will be winter before we get to go anywhere.
