Bo’s boys rounded up a team and the hay bales are all stacked neatly in the shed. The large round bales are still down the road but Edd is preparing the tractor and will drive them back here one at a time. It is all a great relief to get to this stage.
We have just had an English style summer. The grass is still green and regular rain ensures there is plenty of work needed to keep the grass around the sheds and house under control. Usually by this stage the grass is all dried off and no control is needed. I suppose we should expect the un-expected with climate change.
Last Friday we did have a glorious sunny summer evening and we all went to Healesville where Bo was opening her latest public event. She has organised for piano’s to be installed in several town streets so anyone can have a play. For the opening she had organised Simon and some friends too come and play and she was dragged in to do the singing. Eventually a young man took a turn and he could make the piano sing. He got Bo singing opera and everything took off. It was one of those nights I will remember for always.
We went home fairly early but apparently the party continues for ages with impromptu music singing and dancing.
Josh is glowing with relief now he has full time work. It is not always easy but the jobs are varied and interesting. He has also been asked to train apprentices and Stevo says he calls him when he needs some advice on the best approach with hopeless students. Al has had a bad week when his youngest daughter poked him in the eye and caused damage. Fancy being attacked by a baby! He thinks the damage is slowly repairing itself now.
We have moved all the chooks together in the old drive way shed so that we have somewhere to house new chooks for winter eggs. We did not buy any chooks last year and have managed with the old ones.
