Our midwinter feast went well. It was a lovely, still, dry night and we lit the enormous pile of rubbish that needed burning. I found some sparklers for the kids and we all had a great bonfire experience to go with piles of lovely food. I hope we are creating good memories for all the young ones. I am very worried about the state of the world they will inherit. Little B loved looking at all the sparkling embers that went way up towards the stars.
This week has been much quieter. Our big trip out was to Castlemaine to buy bulk honey. The weather was dreadful with wet skiddy roads and thick mist once we got near the top of the old mount slide road. Amazingly when we finally got to Castlemaine the sun was shining and we could sit outside at a road side café and have lunch.
I then used my phone to find the honey place. This did not go well because we were not aware that there were two Sawmill roads with honey places. We went to the wrong one which caused a lot of confusion. Try two corrected the error and we found our order packed up waiting for us. Then all we had to do was brave the weather again to get it home. It was not exactly a relaxing day out.
Today Edd is feeling bad with the flu bug that everyone seems to be getting. It lasts a long time without any intensity. It just sucks up energy and makes everything seen hard. Al phoned yesterday and he has it now as well. At least Edd and I were not both sick at the same time so farm work got done.
Stevo and Simon are both waiting to get hip replacements and are both in a lot of pain. We really feel bad for them and hope everything improves soon. I miss Stevo. This time last year we all had lunch together most days whilst we were doing the building work.
