We went to the show and had a good nosey round. The boys spent lots of money on the sideshows and we mosied round the food stands. My personal favourite was the chainsaw carving - WEEEEAWWWWWWEEEAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!!!! The sort of spectacle where you either need to deaf to watch it for long or be wearing earmuffs. There did not seem to be the same amount of trouble as usual so the alcohol ban must have worked.
We had a visit from Don and his powerful tractor and mulcher on Monday. For the first time since moving here we can walk across our paddocks in a straight line without have to walk round large stands of thick grass. It took him 2 hours to tame the wilderness and we hope that the sheep will be able to keep on top of it in future.
The last picture is not of Patrick asking for more food, but of our Friday night tea, rustled up almost entirely out of home-grown ingredients: omellette topped with spinach (and cheese), potato salad (and mayo) and a tomato salad with basil dressing. Yum yum!
