    Tim woke at 7am to the sound of Seb zooming up the bay in his dinghy.

    He leapt out of bed and had a quick snack and then they headed out to do some mussel work.
    I got breakfast ready for the girls and then zipped through the shower.
    Life changes when there are woofers to organize.
    No swanning around in my dressing gown for half the morning!

    Mahalia moved Olly off the back lawn and then went pear picking with Adina.
    I showed Tamara & Lisa around the garden and left them to start weeding.
    Azzan decided to cook hotcakes for his breakfast.


    He pronounced them to be very boring so doctored them up with frozen berries and ice cream!

    The girls brought a large bin of pears in and then spent time processing a large pot full.

    While they did that Azzan peeled potatoes for dinner.

    The joviality and noise from the kitchen was quite overwhelming

    Tim & Seb came back in around 9am.

    Seb had a fishing party leaving and he needed to be back to help them load up but they decided to leave earlier than planned cuz they met him as they were heading out of the bay.

    Our resident lawnmower!

     

    Shoshannah is wanting to reorganize he chicken house and run because she has got so many chicks now.
    So she and Tim had a long discussion as to what to do.

    I made a large pot of mince and vege stew for dinner.
    One of the girls is allergic to onions - that's a new one for me to deal with!
    I normally use a lot of onions when cooking so will have to think twice for the next two weeks!
    Mahalia & Adina finished cleaning the Cottage and tidied the garden.

    After lunch Azzan went off to help Tamara & Lisa with some weeding.
    Adina helped Mahalia with some sanding on her harp.

    Then Adina hung out washing and brought the last of yesterdays in while Mahalia helped in the garden.
    Then at 3pm they were all released to go swimming.

    Nathan called me to say he was going on a scenic flight with his boss and some there workmates.
    They were planning to come fly over here.
    We never saw them so not too sure where they got to.
    I went up to tell Tim.
    He was in his workshop wearing his fixit hat glasses.

    I worked on my art project most of the afternoon.
    It is now finished - yahoo!

    My blessings in the clouds and goals for 2013 in the dolphins fins

     

    Phoebe came up in the dinghy with Seb which was a lovely surprise.
    We had a lovely time together and Azzan made us some very tasty crackers with cheese & tomato for a pre dinner snack at 5pm cuz we were all feeling somewhat peckish.

    Seb came up to to take her home after he and Tim finished their mussel work.
    He has a harvest to do on Tardis at 1am so wanted to get home and have a sleep before going to work.

    Tim brought mussels in for the girls.

    Lisa & Tamara love them.

     

    It is a gorgeous evening here.
    Azzan has headed off to his bed.

    Mahalia is talking on the phone to Sophie.
    The girls have disappeared and Tim has gone to take Les & Christine some mussels.

    Shoshannah is outside watering all her plants.

    She found our lawnmower had returned.

    Naughty Olly!!

     

    The house is quiet.
    Lovely
