Matinée.

We are back in Brisbane...exhausted, aching and blistered.Will is suffering with the heat but I am strangely not feeling it...well, I feel it.... but I am not finding it too uncomfortable.Dulcie was pleased to see us back, laden with grapes and tomatoes from Dave, our neighbour at Frogknot.She had had some visitors over the weekend and I noticed  she had been baking by the box of biscuits ready for our trip to the doctors in the morning."I watched a movie today," she said, "Charles Bronson was in it. It was good.""What was it called?" I asked.She didn't know and went to look it up in the TV magazine.She found it."Death Hunt!" she said.It did not sound like the usual Sunday afternoon fare for, soon to be, 91 year old ladies, but then Dulcie is not usual. 

Dam Kookaburra!

The Cordwood Cobbers.

A Miracle!

After seven years standing idle, nibbled by rats and occasionally rained upon....today we got the washing machine going.How?We just plugged it in!Fisher and Paykel.....Could you not use this for an advertisement for your machines?

Building Dulcie's 'Tut'.

We did not get up until after 11.00 today!We must have needed the sleep.We started work on Dulcie's 'Tut' (toilet). We are hoping that she can come up with us next time we come but at the moment it would be too far for her to use the toilet down in the bush and so we are hoping to build one just by the back door.We are going to make a cordwood construction. We began with Will cutting lengths of Cypress logs and then we stripped them of their bark.After mixing some cob (earth, water and straw) we started to build the wall. We began with a base of cob onto which we laid the logs and packed cob in around them...it is going to take some time but we have another day tomorrow...and perhaps we will have an earlier start.
