7.30am
25 degrees, clear sky and lovely breeze.
Let
the chickens out and checked on Mummy hen. The two chicks were out so I got
photos of them. They are so cute. The white one is still getting her balance –
well we hope they are girls because if they are roosters it mightn’t be a long
life they have!! Still 4 eggs to go.
Settled
in to watch the last race of the Supercars for this year and it is a close
finish for Scotty and Shane who are fighting to win the championship. Last
night they were only 2 points apart but overnight it was deemed that Shane’s
team failed in his last pit stop to keep the car up while refuelling so he
received a 25 second penalty putting him back in 5th place after
winning the race yesterday so the gap now is bigger.
It
was a great race with lots of tributes to Craig Lowndes too as he is retiring
from full-time driving. In the end Scotty won and would have won even without
the penalty against Shane so the Ford fans are rejoicing.
Lance
brought the hen and chicks’ cage into the shadehouse beside the house to
protect the chicks from more visits for the Bungarra. They are chirping all the
time.
3pm
35 degrees in the van with gusty NE winds but it is comfortable.
5pm
the wind changed to SW and is quite strong. We rolled in the awning as the wind
is giving it a workout and we are heading off tomorrow after the boys finishing
the next section of concreting. We are ‘house sitting’ for Joy’s friend in
Sandstone on Wednesday and Steve wanted to check out Lake Mason one last time
so we decided to head off early.
Walked
to the gate and back with Carol chatting about family histories. Joined the
others for drinks then dinner as Joy had cooked a big stew for our farewell. We
chatted about the station we are going to look after soon and it turns out the
chap who owned it was a friend of Lance’s.
8pm
the wind has settled, 27 degrees in van with a lovely clear sky and millions of
stars.
9pm
the wind was back so we had close up the van again.
