Winners are Grinners

Nearly wasn't going to post today. Not because I'm not doing anything - still digging holes and mixing cement. It's just that the retaining wall job is going to go on for a while yet. Anyway, I usually come up to the Cubby house at about 2pm when the Responsible Adult is amenable to working the coffee machine. Anyhow, today when I came up, she told me that I was the proud winner of four and a half kilo's of chocolate from the local IGA. Yep, I won a competition. Now here's a big tip from your Paddock Worker - Chocolate goes really well with Shiraz.

Fathers Day

Dear Old Dad - c1956

Turns out to be Fathers Day. I had forgotten when I woke up and went about my normal morning routine - i.e. Breakfast in Bed for the Responsible Adult. Actually, it doesn't matter a fig what day it is - the Responsible Adult likes breakfast in bed and it isn't the biggest chore in the world to make her day a bit happier. If I wasn't cooking breakfast, I'd just be out weeding.

Dear Little Boys - 1993

Normally, our family would go somewhere for lunch and a couple of beers on Fathers Day, but not this year. The problem is that Jake will be working, managing a bottle shop and Ben will be working as Grocery Manager at the local supermarket. 

Both boys working, looking after themselves - probably the best Fathers Day ever!

Now, if I could just find the Coffee Wench to make my morning coffee all will be perfect.

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Pretty normal sort of a day here. Weeding then some weeding, then the Responsible Adult came home so I cooked up some eggs and bacon for her. Then weeding, then pruning ready to take down to the revegetation area tomorrow. BUT THEN ......... an email from Big Sis suggesting I may be incorrect in respect to how long we have been at the paddock.
