Last week of June

It's a quiet time of year here. As with most places l suppose in the dead of Winter. Short daylight hours, cold nights.. Not much to do really except keep warm!!   Well, that's what the cat thinks anyway!

A blasted kookaburra has cottoned on to us feeding the Silver eyes and the (thousands of) Sparrows every morning. l have seen him sitting in the Walnut Tree several times now. Chasing him away works for a while but l am sure he will be back. Pretty birds though even if we don't like them around the place.

And poor little Max has got Laminitis (painful hoof condition for fat little ponies) he is locked up in his yard for a few weeks on minimal food and he is NOT happy. Life is very boring for him as Clips is in the paddock and he is left behind in the dirt. We go down and spend time with him whenever we have a moment, poor little boy...

Today though was very exciting as we put the tin roof on our soon to be gypsy wagon! It was wobbly up there and l got quite seasick by the end of it!

 Interesting view of the house though!!

The steel frame was very hard to drill into and poor Geoff was practically hanging off the drill trying to break through into the metal. As you can see we brought Maxie up from his yard to be close to us for the day to give him a bit of a routine change and something different to look at.

First sheet on!

Lunch time and we were half way there.

It looks quite peculiar at the moment without the sides on and incredibly tall!!!

We just hope a strong wind doesn't blow it over!!!
