Hump day plus one

We managed to fit even more into yesterday! S and M did their usual Wednesday afternoon aquarobics before we all joined Sy and An at The Noodle House on Chevron Island for dinner: their kitchen is still "under construction" and they had the installation company's rep and the benchtop people there to try to get just a couple of steps closer to a satisfactory conclusion. Sy seemed a bit happier with progress by the time they met us - but she wasn't looking forward to cleaning all the grinding detritus out of the house today. An's hand has still not healed and even though she is well on the way to recovery there is still a way to go before she can take on cleaning duties without risking re-damaging it.

Meanwhile, back at Latimers, A hasn't found the problem with the bore pump. That's a pity! He did try though - and he did find the junction in the wall near the back door and he's due back today to patch the holes in the wall - and he did turn up and he did a great job of wall-fixing.

M was off with Mouse at an Anzac Day Brunch this morning and hadn't made it home by the time S and I took ourselves off to the Arts Centre to see ''Song for Marion" - which we both very much enjoyed even though it did have us pulling out the tissues - and luckily S had thought to bring extras because I needed them (she did too!). The only one having more trouble with their eyes was the koala!

Those naughty cockatoos have been around again - attacking the lemon tree again and also having a go at the grapefruit tree this time. At least they took multiple bites out of some of the fruit rather than that very annoying and incredibly wasteful one bite per piece.

S had the evening in while M and I visited the CSP table at The Big House. A 10% has gone off since I saw it on the weekend - but M hadn't heard about it - but then I suppose unless you were there at the time it could be just one of those things that retreats back into the walls of the Casino. There was a draw on tonight and the woman who won seemed very happy indeed by all reports - alas it wasn't M but it would have been fantastic if she had been the winner - especially since there's still the bore pump "fix" to be done. In the meantime, there's washing to be done so I'll take some off to the laundromat in the morning (to conserve water on the farm) - hopefully it won't be to busy if I go early enough! And hopefully that red sky on the way there this morning (shepherds' warning) means there's rain on the way - even though there has been.none forecast!
