Early August and the temperature has dipped already. We had a flood of water off the fields threatening the patio and the polytunnel. When it dries, if it dries, we need to get the local agricultural contractor to fix the broken drains and scrape the drive.
We have all been feeling cold, so we got our old oil fired boiler replaced with a newer, much more efficient and smaller one. We replaced some radiators and had the system flushed and cleaned. Hopefully we will be cosier this winter.

I keep having to rescue these red tailed bumble bees from the horses’ drinking trough. This involves me scooping one up whilst reciting “please don’t sting me, please don’t sting me”, until the wet bee is set upon the fence post to dry off. You can see her dark fur coat is all wet.

Caron,
We are enjoying the posts.
When will you start making a profit? haha.
Our heating crapped itself, too. $3500 later all toasty again.
Minus 2 this morning in our back area. Just in case you thought is was always warm in Australia.
Love, Stewart. xx (the uncle one)

If we could just breakeven I would be happy! I did think it was always warm in the far away land down under!
