For the third time in less than two weeks they are mowing the show-grounds oval. It took someone an entire day of stop start work last week to mow it. Just the oval, not the surrounds as well. I did comment at the time that I would not hire that person to cut hay on a farm. Then earlier this week they mowed it again and I thought that perhaps they were using this oval as a training course for mower operators but no, here they are back again, round and round they go, so far two hours and it is still not done. And they are using a ride on mower and not a push one!  Why do I comment? Because today they started at 6.59 am! 

Such enthusiasm and dedication is to be admired.....from 30 km away! Sadly for us they are only 30 meters from our van. I do know that the local agricultural show is in July and no doubt some of this is preparation for that and it does get a bit warm in the middle of the day here but if they are going to use this space as an overflow caravan park, a bit of thought would make for much happier campers!

It is hard work keeping the eyes closed when the sun gets up super early but having a mower going is like having an alarm that you cannot turn off, you cannot even push the snooze button on it. Bugger! Gonna be a long day!
