It’s again that time of the year when we go strawberry picking. Has to be early in the day because the mercury rises by noon.
Jan has started processing them whilst I’ve done some quality control testing.
All our married life we’ve regularly picked fruit in season (even scrumping the towpath ) and have fond memories of taking the children to the orchards on the east side of State Highway 57 at Levin. (Jenny are the orchards still there?)
Yesterday was our first hot day this spring. However I managed to install two more fence posts and hang the second gate. Today is supposed to be even hotter, which may curb my enthusiasm! Further inland the fire danger has been rated catastrophic. Controlled burns are being conducted in the National Parks around greater Perth in an effort to reduce the fuel load on the ground thereby reducing the consequences of wildfires.
Dave and Ade the pool is only 5.7 metres long and 2 metres wide with a full length bench seat on one side. Somewhere to sit on a hot day. If Jan wants to swim I’m thinking of using an old leather belt and elastic cords anchored at one end of the pool.
Jenny I’m working as hard as the old body will allow……. And that’s not very hard these days!
