friends and family

It is hot, dry and very busy here today. Ti and Edd have been working on the pump for the main water tank.  Edd found there was no water today and we worried that the tank was dry.  Luckily, we still have a metre deep in the tank and just the pump had given out.  That was good news as pumps can be repaired and replaced but we have to wait for it to rain to replace the water.

 

Oli and his mate are working on the shed roof putting up corrugated iron under the eaves. The idea is to stop birds getting into the roof cavity and help with fire safety. Morgen is also here to use Edd’s welder for some boat repairs. I took cheese to our local market and had a great time with all the neighbours who were thrilled to get back together after the Xmas break.

 

Meanwhile Edd as well as sorting out the animals and water situation had some other friends arrive to pick up goat compost mix for their garden.  Edd also had to keep the dog, Sezz, on a lead because she ran off yesterday and had to be brought home by another neighbour.  We think she is in season because she has never run off before.

 

Yesterday was a day off with no builders working and a friend from Hong Kong visiting. We went out for lunch at a restaurant just down the road that we had not visited before. It was surprisingly good and laid back. We sat outside and the view over the mountains was a fantastic was back drop as we laughed over funny incidents and learnt about life in Hong Kong.   I feel so blessed with such wonderful friends, family and neighbours.
