Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
The Cheesemaker returns!
So...after four months away from the Cheese Factory, today Will returned to begin making cheese again.
The Cheese Factory has new owners and they were keen to get Will back on board. He has agreed to return on the understanding that they do away with the milk in plastic bottles. They don't want to continue down that route and they are actively looking at ways to get milk delivered in bulk but for now the plastic bottles remain.
Everything is looking good and the new owners have plans to upgrade and improve upon things so hopefully the only way is up. It's great news because Will loved the job despite past circumstances but now the future there looks cheesily rosy!
The reptiles return.
So...today we went down to the dam to take a picture of our first flowering water lily and spotted a red bellied black snake. Will discovered a Perentie lizard lurking around outside Fort Yudhisthira when he went up to let the chooks out and later I found it trapped inside. I went to check on it a while after and it had found its way out again. I don't think it was lucky to find any eggs today though.
Deck improvements.
So...we have been busy and made quite a few trips to Bunnings in Warwick this last week. We now have three shade cloth blinds and two waterproof café blinds to keep the rain out of our outdoor sitting area. The last two days we have been busy adding a balustrade around the deck too. All the wood we used comes from bush around us. The balustrade is made from a large, (dead) black cypress tree that we made into planks with the chainsaw mill.
