Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
Pipsqueak.
Just a quickie for those interested on the vermin front...while the boys were visiting we caught two mice and one since they have been gone, but no rats. I haven't heard any skittering or rustlings in the ceiling so think we are winning.Famous last words!
Productivity.
So...it's back to work and today we cracked on with building our Roxy shed at the back. This shed will keep Roxy safe from hailstorms, be a place to put lots of the stuff we have clogging up the back verandah and also, when we get some water tanks, collect rainwater for us.Today we dug holes for posts, felled some dead trees for posts and put up four more posts...the shed is taking shape.
Adding sparkle!
So...ever since I saw Jenny Agutter in the Railway Children floating into her surprise birthday party beneath a canopy of twinkly sparkly lights I have been obsessed with filling rooms with branches covered in twinkly, sparkly lights so that I can get that Jenny Agutter experience.Frogknot is now fairy lit!
Campdraft.
So...this weekend it is Stanthorpe Campdraft.I had never been to one and did not know what to expect having only had experience of a draughty camp. We should have been shed building but we went anyway.I expected it to be quite busy but there was hardly anyone there...well, townspeople. The only people who seemed to be there were competitors and their families.So... from what I observed it would seem that first you get on a horse, then they put you in a pen with about 10 cows and you have to pick one out and separate that cow from the rest and then chase it out into the arena and then make it run around some posts and that is it basically. Apparently Dulcie used to do it when she was younger.There was an awful lot of denim and cowboy hats and after we watched for an hour or so I was campdrafted out.I don't think I need to go to another one.
