After early morning household chores JC (John Capewell) and I stacked a bonfire with cardboard etc. and cuttings from the cypress trees at the cattle yards. The lower branches were leaning on the fence. These trees were flavour of the month about twenty years ago but most in the district have died from some kind of viral disease. Being a bit remote may be why ours are still alive. They offer great shade and the cattle love camping under them. The pruning and removing the branches was quite hard work but when you see the bonfire JC lit it was worthwhile.

I had a Tatong Tattler meeting this afternoon. JC split some logs we had gathered this morning to add to our stack of firewood. The hunters left late afternoon very happy with the two samba deer they got last night. The lads then went over to turn the power off at the cottage and whilst they were there dismantled the composting toilet and hand rail so we are ready when the new septic toilet is installed.もっと詳しく
