It doesn't matter how many jobs you have in the queue, the "Honey do" jobs always go to the top of the list!

For sure; one job leads to another!
It was just a simple jpb to unload the slabs but then of course, one job leads to another.

The're kicking Farmers off the grid!!
They rang me for a "survey" asking about all my power requirements then said they are thinking of taking Farmers off the grid. I should have expected something with them closing down the coal fired power stations and all the power outages.

CPC for Trevor - a new battery after 11 years.
Time to replace the battery. The original lasted 11 years since I bought it and I don't know how long before that.

Alanvale in Autumn - Canola is coming up
It's the end of May and the rains are two months late. We have only had 60mm in the last eight months. Could this turn out to be the driest month on record?

We found out why the Lazy Farmer is so lazy!
My last Doctor told me to exercise and lose weight. My new Doctor sent me for a stress ECG and I was told to go straight to hospital. (I went the next morning) The next day I was fitted with a pacemaker and home 24 hours after that. Exercise would have killed me! My pulse has now gone from 39 to 79 at rest. My oxygen is now in the normal range. In a few weeks I will be able to exercise and lose weight! My suggestion is go to the chemist and buy an oxymeter.

DIY Plumbing is not permitted! How about reticulation?
We had a drought year last year and my dam is empty but my water tanks are still full so it should be safe to use some on establishing a garden. First, we need a tap!

Unloading the aviary #2
Dad had the bird cage there when he bought the house and he's asking me to move it. This would make an excelling beginning for a chook run.

Things that go bump in the night!
I prefer to drive at night when there is less traffic but as you might expect, nocturnal animals are out and about.

New chook run, moving the old aviary #1
It's old and it's heavy. It will take several trips to get the materials down from Perth but it's worth it.

World First! Supernova sighted at Alanvale
It can only just be seen with the naked eye but how exciting to find out that the World Meteor Network Sites in Western Australia were the first to see the newest exploding star. There was partial vision at Darkan, Bindoon and Toodyay and a good clear view at Pemberton.

Donald's got a little list (with apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan)
It's a bit rough but someone should run with it!
Ode to Donald
(To the tune of “I’ve got a little list”)
As someday it may happen that a victim must be found,
He’s got a little list; He’s got a little list.
Of political offenders who might well be underground
And never would be missed – who never would be missed.
There’s the New York Judge who flaunts his pecs and smiles for the press
His GF sitting with him on the bench for us to guess
The footsies we don’t know about, the notes we see her pass
Alana in defence is causing twitching of his ___ (brass)
And Tricia sitting back behind I wonder why she’s miffed
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
[Chorus]
He's got 'em on the list — he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed
There’s the primaries contender who doesn’t know she’s lost
And her rich financialist – He’s got them on the list
And big fannie down in Georgia and her “Waders” she has kissed
They never would be missed — they never would be missed!
And the journalists who cover up with an aggressive tone
They fill the void with many varied stories of their own
They’d like to get him jailed but he never wears a frown
He’s got DOJ and FBI and those who wear black gowns
And the former leader of the house who constantly was pissed
I don't think she'd be missed — I'm sure she'd not be missed!
[Chorus]
He's got her on the list — he's got her on the list;
And I don't think she'll be missed — I'm sure she'll not be missed!
There’s the one who sniffs the children’s hair and can’t get off the stage
and silly archivists – He’s got them on the list
And men all dressed in black with guns who love to raid his house
They'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed
An old and senile statesmen who may have a Chinese wife
A pencil necked gentleman who cannot tell the truth
And thingybob and watsisname and howdy do you do
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list
For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
[Chorus]
You may put 'em on the list — you may put 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed — they'll none of 'em be missed!

Oops! I never would have thought this would happen.
That was a trap for young players. One mistake leads to others.

It's a drought! Can I save the fruit trees?
There's no water in the dam but the tanks are full so it's hand watering the fruit trees every week.

DJI mini 4 Pro Alanvale Flyover
The first flight was really rough and I've just found the packing behind the gimbal so this one should be much smoother.

Drain testing for water in the fuel
There was water in this Jerry Can but it may be gone now. It's still better to check.

I have no idea when this happened but somewhere in the past, I bought fuel that was polluted with water.

Look what Jilly did!
Jilly loves to lick out cups and whe she has finished she loves tearing them up even more. Pet bottles, paper cups food bags, you name it but in the long run it saves the furniture.

What lies beneath? The continuing saga of Trevor's tooth.
The land may well have been cleared 100 year's below but "things" still lurk where you least expect them.

Jilly explores the farm. What can she drag inside?
Jilly likes to drag all kinds of smelly stuff inside. Road kill, sheep poo, eggshells, branches, you name it.
