Monday 22nd October
Another beautiful Spring day here.
Breezy blue skies.
Tim took Shanni & Ellie mustering after breakfast.
Children were busy playing most of the day.
Azzan made lemonade this morning - following a recipe this time so it turned out fine,
a tad too sweet for most of us but far better than version 1 and 2
Mahalia & Madi helped him and then made hokey pokey.
I was having a cool shower at this point as the fire hadn't been lit for the past day and Azzan & Mahalia bet me into the shower and wiped out most of the hot water.
Wasn't terribly impressed to find them making yet more sweet stuff
The two girls disappeared into the sewing room for most of the day and made themselves cute bags each.
I got food ready for lunch and started the fire to heat the water and cook the mutton roast for dinner.
Eare popped in to say hullo.
She & Alan are here for a week and were waiting for the tide to come in far enough to put their boat up on our trailer so they could clean the bottom of it.
Tim spent most of the arvo helping Alan getting the boat sorted.
Shanni rested with her book after she got Ellie sorted with wetsuit etc so she could join the Cottage folk on their fishing expedition over the Low Neck.
Azzan was at a bit of a loose end for a while
Mahalia & Madi went around to see Olly and then returned to their sewing.
All the Cottage folk left after dinner tonight.
The kids were all making the most of the last hour and played a fast and furious game of Peter Pan in the woolshed.
I spent most of the afternoon making cards.
These are two of them.
Now, I have to go find some clothes to wear for tomorrow as Mahalia and I are leaving at 6am for a day in town.
If the weather man has it right we should have a lovely day after a cool start.
