  • Wednesday 13th February

     

     

     

    It was markedly cooler this morning.

    Tim was kept busy with phone calls organising mussel harvests and stock movement this morning.

    He was desperately trying to get his breakfast in between everything and had to quickly scoff it down around 10:30am before he tore out the door to meet the stock truck.

    It was delivering a load of Anson's sheep.

    Most exciting - his first major stock purchase for his own company.

    Anson is still shearing away this week and called to say he would be back a few days later than planned as there were more lambs to shear.

     

    Marah came around so she and Shoshannah took cameras to record Mahalia & Olly's swimming session.

    Here are some of the photos off mine and Shoshannah's cameras - I have been instructed to say this!!

    There were heaps and because they were all so cool I have posted quite a few here.

     

     

    Stacks of mussel floats waiting to be used.

    Crystal clear calm day - perfection in Paradise.

    Shoshannah

    Mahalia walking Olly along the beach

    For some reason this is the spot where she can persuade him to enter the water.

    She has to woo him into the water to begin with

    He loves to put his nose right in and then flick it up and spray water everywhere

    And then he is on his way!

    But there is a point where it gets a bit deep and freaky for him and more cajoling takes place

    But once he is in he's away nearly laughing!

    One happy young lady

    Well done Olly!!

    It is so great to see him overcoming his dislike of the water.

    Sky watched the whole proceedings with great interest

     

    Shoshannah made sushi for lunch.

    Marah was craving sushi so she was rapt when not only did she get some here for lunch, but she was sent home with some more for her dinner.

    Seb came up mid arvo, got Anson's boat going and took Marah & Mahalia back to the hunting area where they lost Ria on Saturday to see if there was any sign of her.

    They had been trying to go all week but work and weather and boat problems prevented that till now.

    Disappointingly there was no sign of her.

     

    I managed to make a start at a lesson of my art course in amongst everything else.

    I'm having heaps of fun with this page.

    Mahalia is wanting to do more art too so she is going to sit in on my lessons

     

    Tim is working late most nights and is getting really tired.

    He just has too much to fit into one day bummed

    Guess that is better than being a couch potato though eh?

     

    Well, the kids and I are all off to bed early-ish tonight.

    I have done heaps to my art page and am now going to leave it to dry and come back with fresh eyes tomorrow.
