New plan.

Stormy Sunset.

Working Bee.

So...today we finished off filling the foundation trenches with about 25 barrow loads of cob.

How very dare you!

So...another day survived at the Chalkface. To be honest it was a bit of a doddle since we spent 30 mins in the Library in the morning and another similar length of time playing on the 'Binnalong' Playground....as in 'binnalong time' since it took quite awhile for it to be built.It felt quite awhile since I had been back in that Prep Class. My last visit ended with me leaving halfway through the day feeling ill. It was the first class I went in when I started doing supply and they had only been in school two weeks and now here they were with only two weeks left of their first school year to go.I told them they had grown up. Some of them had but some still had some growing up to do. I asked if they thought I had grown up and they said I had and they thought my hair had grown."You've got a big tummy" shouted out one. I ignored it. (How very dare he!)It was very nice that they were pleased to see me. During one lesson they had  free choice in writing about any subject they wanted.....A few chose me....

And in the News today...

We are down to six chicks having lost two in mysterious circumstances though we suspect they were snatched by a crow, butcher bird or kookaburra. We now have two grey, two white and two black chicks left but they are exploring the outdoors daily.

Long-Mu and Dou-Mu remain in confinement and happily wander the garden during the day returning to their box at sunset.

Will saw a large, black wild pig the other morning down near Foxwater.

Dave came today in his Bobcat and dug up some earth ready for finishing off the foundations of the bathroom tower this weekend. We have a full house this weekend with Ros, Andrew and Marina (from Melbourne) all joining us at Frogknot on Friday.
