- coffee, breakfast
- stacked washing up, put away food, tidied counters
- cut up most of Hugh's ripped flannelette bottom sheet for toilet cloth, make-up wipes and garden ties; possibly use the last of it to make a couple of extra long overnight pads?
- watered both courtyards, did some weeding in mine, ate a couple of strawberries and a snowpea
- made my bed, got into farm clothes
- (Eric) let out guineas, put in a load of laundry
- talked to Eric about finances for Launceston trip; transferred last of my spending money to my travel account
- grass control: finished fenceline under horse chestnut, from bottom orchard to goose shed fence
- grass control: middle chicken yard, access to south of brushwood fence, top plum orchard (in progress, about half done)
- grass control: rest of top plum orchard, leach field, hay field, chicken run, old pig run, clearway around chicken shed, path to/around blackberries
Need to check how much money I've got, then spend it (tomorrow, when it's too hot to garden) on more potting mix, cow manure and compost for the beds. Also try some organic fertiliser?
Netbank says I have $52. Unfortunately, Eric isn't sure how much money he's going to have coming in over the next couple of weeks given that some of the people he needs to liaise with for his remote work will be on holidays, which means I'm going to try to avoid spending on anything inessential down here so that I have spending money in Launceston. I'm taking Dan up on the 12th (round trip, so I'll need to eat at least once), then driving Hugh up on the 19th and staying two nights in a hotel, so that means I will need extra money to be able to eat!
