Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Diaries from OZ - occasional?
Wedding days are here again – 4 sausages fried for breakie – cut into very small soldiers and dipped in hot English mustard – god it makes me cry but I do love it! The man commeth today to inspect the fire breaks and decide whether they need trimming – I use the term trimming in the loosest possible way – mauling is probably closer to the truth! – well the missus said today can you tidy up a bit outside – well I looked and all looked tidy – and therein lies the nub – tidy to one is very untidy to another – I’ve never seen it looking tidier for ages but there is a clue – the man cometh today to inspect the firebreaks and in her mind will be very critical of an untidy patio – feck – give me feckin strength!
Then it arrived the secondhand yard blower from somewhere – anything they are throwing out comes our way – it’s called spoils of war. So now I, ME ,MYSELF can blow the yard – how marvelous! watching the Muskateers I must go back to the beginning and watch them all – marvelous history of the times and religions and romance! – just don’t like the way that the high ladies flattened their chests! It is lovely not having to do the taxi run although I am still around but can relax. Hit the sack early I think? It’s all a blur!
Turds day and what a wonderful one too – sitting on the porch at 9,30am and still cool with a lovely fresh breeze – I do hope you are all enjoying your Australian weather – we sent it just for you – [do you remember fainting in HK due to salt depletion?] please ignore this bit very personal!
Watched a bush turkey cross the drive just now – magnificent bird really and edible – evil lookin mind like a crow with a long tail like a peacock. The dogs missed it – well two dogs went missing as usual – came back exhausted from somewhere – probably devouring a kanga leg or tail somewhere in the bush – they do die off in there and the dogs can sure find them. Still waiting for my car return and so no taxi runs still and to sleep in until 7am is bliss!
I am ready for a new bottling session but that can wait until the w/end – you can do it too early and too fresh. The firebreaks were done yesterday – did I mention that before? It really is idyllic out here no noise of traffic or people only the occasionally bark from one of four dogs – usually just the one yappie Chihuahua! [ I pronounce it chi - hua - hua! sounds like a mexican dancer] perfect day and a cool 31C
