I'd just begun mowing the bottom paddock when Roger slipped his belt and was not going to go anywhere in a hurry. I made a half-arsed attempt at putting the belt back on but failed dismally. So rescuing Roger had to wait until Saturday morning. Our friend Andy arrived on Friday afternoon with his partner, Brendon, and they spent the weekend with us - a little Larnook respite from Sydney. After champagne o clock taken in the hot tub we sojourned to Cawongla Store for their scrummy wood fired pizza and more wine of the sparkling and still varieties.
We headed down to Kyogle to shop as we do most Saturday mornings and then once back we set to work on Roger. Brendon impressed us with his mechanical skills and knowledge but what we thought was a success turned out to be short-lived, which meant an undignified tow up the hill for Roger. Luckily Steve managed to sort out the problem and I was able to complete the entire mow (lower paddocks and around the house) after the boys left, yesterday afternoon. But back to Saturday. I put both boys into a state of bliss with my massages followed a bit later by some more wine-time in the spa. Shane and Bluey came over and we had a nice dinner of Thai pumpkin soup (Shane's recipe), green chicken curry and Steve's now-famous flourless chocolate and orange cake courtesy of the Kitchen Goddess herself, Nigella. Oh and then we watched a moofie - one of our faves, Gods and Monsters.
Sunday morning was leisurely before the boys headed back up to Coolangatta airport for a 2pm flight back home to Sydney. Steve, Andy and Brendon in front of the mango tree. Looking forward to your next visit, boys.
