• Monday 11 March

   

   

   

  It was a glorious flat calm morning that I woke to today.

  I was up at 6:15am and out into the spa.

  Wallowed and watched some more of my dvd.

  I wanted to be up and at'em with a bit more energy than I have had recently so I was dressed in good time today.

   

  'Tardis' was working out on the lines near here - an idyllic work station this morning

  

  Shoshannah decided to cook us a hearty breakfast.

  Eggs, hash browns, toast & vegemite, onion rings, tomatoes, sausage, etc
  

  She was complaining cuz there was no bacon!
  

  It was huge - neither of us could finish it!

  But it was very healthy - mine was smothered in wilted spinach, cheese and basil.

  

  Sure set us up with a great start to our day.

  Anson was around here early as he had some sheep to shear.

  Shoshannah went to find her lamb and took it down to add to the number

  I had asked the boys if they would come and have an around table business meeting with me.

  So we were all set for 9:30am.

  But Seb didn't arrive till 10 and by then Anson had taken off again to do more stock work.

  It's like trying to muster seagulls around here sometimes!

  Then in the midst of it all our two new wwoofers arrived.

  They are a couple in the 50's from California.

  Traveling NZ in a camper van on their honeymoon.

  Lovely folk.

  Anyway, I told them we were having a meeting so they went wandering for the rest of the morning.

  The boys and I talked through a lot of things, before Anson & Marah had to leave for town.

  Then Seb called up Noel and he brought 'Tardis' to the wharf and came and joined us.

  We had a really good talk and got a lot of things sorted.

  I am seeing that all the things Tim and I were implementing over the past year or so is now all falling into place.

  Such a blessing.
  

  Now we just have to quietly regain our strength and pick up the pieces.
  

  We are all so very tired.
  

  The shock has wiped us out that doing anything too major is exhausting.
  

  I was feeling utterly wasted after Seb & Noel left so really wanted to go crash on my bed.

  Ended up there for barely 5 minutes before I had to go to the study and do a heap of stuff there.

  Liz called up for a chat which took me too dinner time.
  

  Never really got back to bed until after dinner.

   

  Shoshannah got Rainy & Chad to get some watering systems set up in the gardens so that kept them occupied for the afternoon.

  She watched a dvd and then cooked dinner.

  Roast chicken drumsticks and potatoes.

  She also stuffed a marrow and it was delicious.

   

  Shanni is busy sorting through all the old photos on cds and was finding some great ones of Tim.

  Some I don't recall seeing before.

  Anyway, after dinner I headed to bed and Shoshannah and I talked about setting up a Facebook page for all Tim's photos.

  Then I ended up on the phone for a wee while and while I talked I saw that Bri had set up the page already.

  Talk about like-mindedness!

  Thanks Bri - it is great
  

  So I have just had fun loading lots of photos on there.

  I am sure there will be a heap more to come but it is now bed time so I am going to hit the pillow.

  Trouble is when I stay up late I get hungry.

  I am sitting here deliberating whether to have some shortbread from the tin stashed under my bed

  or

  should I venture to the study and open the delicious delectable Rosy Glow chocolates that Mary and David sent me

  or should I whiz out to the kitchen and get a glass of water?
  Such a difficult decision
