The Weekend Report

The weather up here this weekend was amazing - high 20s, blue skies, sunshine. Weekend began well on Friday night with Steve and I watching one of Steve's recent importations (via the Rock Valley post office) of dvds. We chose Wilde which we hadn't seen when it had been released because it didn't make its way to Newcastle. After we had Kyogled on Saturday morning, we were visited by Jan and Barry MacFarlane, parents of our friend, Geoff. They were staying at Evans Head and bravely travelled inland to visit us and check out our new tree-change lifestyle. Barry was particularly pleased because Steve gave him boxes and boxes of radio valves that were in drawers in our shed. Jan was less impressed (with the boxes of dusty valves that is - she liked the place). It was lovely to have drop in visitors like J and B.
Steve cooked a lovely chicken curry in the slow cooker which we had on saturday evening with crusty bread and our friend, Glen, after spending what seemed like a couple of hrs in the spa downing two bottles of champers.
Today - more fertilizing, watering, mulching and painting for me. Steve busied himself with preparing the downstairs bedroom for painting.
