A 'Poofter' of a job!
So...we are back at Frogknot after another flying visit to Brisbane, We went down on Saturday as Andrew's nieces Molly and Georgia were both appearing in 'Hairspray' at the Convention Centre...along with 898 other young people!There were some famous people in it...but only famous in Australia because I had never heard of them...some guy from 'Home and Away' and other Australian'legends'.It was great, if a bit loud, but having to peer into the throng of 900 young dancers was a bit stressful when we had gone to see Molly and Georgia in it, and how do you spot two amongst that lot? Thankfully before it ended I was able to say 'I saw them'.We came back yesterday after stopping off at 'The Valley of the Leeches' for Vimto. Yes, I am back in a 'vimto' craving phase...but at least I am not on the Pepsi Max!Today, we have been busy. We took Roxy down to Orazio at 8.00 am and came back on Jaxy. It is a further attempt to fix this overheating problem that she has and today she was being fitted with a new water pump, some 'gasket' thing and a 'whatsit'.Back at Frogknot Will and I were busy collecting rocks and building circular dry stone walls as at the weekend we acquired 5 new citrus fruit trees , a Lisbon lemon, a Valencia orange, a Kaffir lime, a Blood orange, and a 'Lemonade'...which is a cross between a Navel Orange and a lemon. Today we built two new citrus tree beds but I will post pictures of them tomorrow.We went for Roxy at 4.15pm but Orazio was not ready and we had to hang around until 5.30pm. Hopefully the problem is sorted now.Orazio said "It was a 'poofter' of a job!" Whatever that means...but I don't think he meant it was good. He obviously hasn't clicked about Will and I and he calls himself a mechanic! You think he would spot us a mile off as when we point at things in the engine and call them 'doodahs'.Tomorrow I am once again to Brisbane because, believe it or not, Lewis and Nathan arrive Wednesday morning! That crept up quick...It is exciting and the next three weeks are going to be another whirlwind of adventures, day trips and a long road trip before they go back at the beginning of May.The 'up to the minute' vermin count is:7 rats….1 escaped, 5 relocated.9 mice…4 dead, 5 relocated.
