The local council finally came around to collect the stuff on the verge. They had a tip truck and a front end loader. We filled two tip trucks and then they came back with a tree muncher thingy and picked up the branches from the tree we cut down, that filled another tip truck! And they left behind the tree stump., apparently it was too big for their mulching machine!
The boys fitted a new stove and range hood to the second house and the pest man came and sprayed the yard, our caravans and drive way for all sorts of uninvited beasties. He put some ant killer in our van and they came from every where to partake of the poisonous feast. Makes one wonder just how many ants have been hitching a free ride with us! The hard part of the day was keeping the dog inside so that he did not lick the spray stuff until it dried.
The boys are constantly disappearing into the shed to check the bubble bubble toil and trouble that is brewing in the mash barrel. Apparently when it stops bubbling it is time to put it in the actual still and distil pure alcohol......Very exciting stuff, I beleive.
They spent the afternoon digging a trench in the backyard for the wiring for the water feature our hostess wants in the back corner of the yard.
Our hostess and myself spent the day beading off and on between meals. We created two rather nice necklaces between us.
Oh and it rained off and on all day!
