Grumpy Geese!

l spent a considerable amount of my days off this week painting pickets................yes................. l HAVE learnt. l will never ever EVER build a picket fence again without painting it first!!

l have done one coat and l have another to go.................Looks great though!

This is the last leg left to do. l pulled all the palings off and have a mish mash of barricades up (until l get the pickets) to keep all the Wallabies out.

If only sheep were good guard dogs they could chase them off for us!

The geese certainly make more noise! Here is a rare moment of being able to get close up to the gosling.

It's difficult when its Dad is so bossy!!

He never takes his eye off you!!!

They certainly don't make you feel welcome!!

A bit rude considering l have had them since they were a few weeks old!!!

And just as you start to think you are getting on top of things.......................along comes 6 tonnes of NEXT Winter's firewood! All needing to be carted away and stacked! We took the dearer but easier option though this time and went back to split wood as opposed to buying in the whole logs. Still.................there's a fair few wheelbarrows worth there!! (sigh!!)
