Weekend update

In a word: busy. But delightful weather. We Kyogled on Saturday morning, then I spent up until lunchtime doing some fertilising, watering-in and mulching over as well as painting our front fence. Steve on the other hand was busy with door-related activities. After lunch we went to our friend, Gio's place at Clunes which is on the way to Bangalow, for an afternoon get together. Gio's partner, Michael, who was a mental health care worker was stabbed to death by one of his clients about 6 weeks ago, and it was his birthday last week. So this was a get together to mark his birthday. I first met Michael and Gio through my friend and colleague, Mieke. Michaels' death was a very tragic shock. But the afternoon was lovely with lots of friendly people.
Didn't do much last night. Steve watched the Beverly Hillbillies dvd but I ditched.
Today, more fertilizing, watering, mulching, painting. Steve fashioned a round table for the corner of The Good Room as well as replaced a door between The Good Room and the downstairs bedroom. I cooked lamb shanks in our new best friend, the slow cooker. Um and that's really about it, I think. Oh, and we finally found out what breed the girls are: Lohman Browns. Found out through a chook seller who sells live poultry out the front of the rural produce store in Kyogle. Friendly chap. Knows his birds.
