Back to the routine...

After a slow start..and loads and loads of washing...we have lunch and head up on the hill to cut and poison Gorse... we make good headway. It is a gorgeous afternoon on the hill.




Back home and after Thomas has finished work at the Garden Larder..we go across to Peppermint Bay for a relaxed dinner. Back home by 7pm and we have a cosy night in.
I finish the jigsaw puzzle that we began last Saturday...it has been challenging!! Thanks to Lisa (from the post office) who lent the puzzle to us for Lioba's visit. It was a lovely communal activity during the week.


Sunday is market day...


we do the rounds then head back up on the hill.
After a couple of hours of cutting and pasting...we can really see the improvement as the Gorse outcrops are reduced one by one..





 
 

It is a magnificent day up on the hill again today..T-shirt weather!!
Tom and I do a bit of excavation work on the cubby site too.. working around the cows!!
We head back down at about 2 ish and we have delicious lunch at The Lotus Eaters.
Home for rest time...John has a snooze, Thomas has some computer time and after a cuppa I walk the Golf course circuit..Beautiful afternoon.
We snuggle down early tonight with books a good fire...and are all in bed by 8.30pm!!

The week begins as usual...school, work and scouts on Monday.
Tuesday is another work day..I note the gorgeous Spring display in the Lotus window this morning..

...not needed in Thomas' classroom today. John makes another cream and I label and pack the Comfrey oint he made yesterday. We have a quiet night .
Wednesday is bust to start then very quiet during the day...I knit and John snoozes..then I have a snooze. We are going out tonight. Off to see Bell Shakespeare production of The Comedy of Errors.

A drizzly, foggy drive to town for dinner at Stockman's Restaurant before the show at Theatre Royal.



Tom loves it...usual high standard production...with lots of laughs ...very clever !!
Thursday is drizzly but very mild. Lovely morning spent at Community Garden ..weeding , mulching and moving the chooks.. Enjoyable cuppa and chat to finish

 
Tom and I enjoy learning a new Recorder tune..onto our second book now..
We have a nice quiet night..listening to John read his favourite book...The Count of Monte Cristo!!

Friday and I go to a meeting midmorning about planning 100 year celebrations of the Town hall opening..we just toss around ideas at this stage.
We attend the opening of Bob Brown's latest photography exhibition at Lovett gallery...opened by Posie Graeme-Evans (of Mcleod's Daughter's fame!!)Some wonderful photos..

The boys then head down to the scout hall and spend a number of hours helping set up for Garage Sale on Sunday... I enjoy a nice quiet night watching Phryne  in her latest adventure...love the outfits!!

Saturday and we enjoy a quiet morning then head up on the hill to attack the gorse again..Very rewarding work.




\
Tom take a little break to have a quick read!!
 
We have to leave one of the gorse bushes intact for the moment...as it is home for two baby birds.


The boys drop me off at Wattle Grove Road and I enjoy a walk home.(takes about an hour...so quiet and peaceful)





I get dinner on the way slowly while Tom goes off to help pack up at the Larder. we have early dinner then watch another episode of "The Nature of Australia"..very interesting..
Early night as it will be a big day tomorrow..
