Week eight


Today, Sunday, I am back at Hannam Vale and working in the Café.
There is an antique auction going on next door at the Community Hall, and we are sitting here waiting for customers to come in.
Patricia has her first pictures up in the gallery, and they look great.
Is this straight Michael? I can't see your head is in the way



















The introductory part of the Gallery is up for everyone to see.



















Most of this past week I spent in Sydney, not doing very much. It was raining and miserable, so I stayed at Malcolm’s place and cleaned up a bit.
On Thursday night, we took the engine that Ian had brought down from Queensland off the trailer. That was an adventure in itself.
One side came loose, and Mal was just about to catch it.



















Greg and Mal are pleased with themselves; they got the motor safely on the ground.



















My main reason for going to Sydney came on Friday.  I took a bus into Sydney from Narrabeen where we I meet up with some of the old Opera House crew; some of them I had not seen for over 25 years.
We had a great time catching up and reminiscing about the good old days.
We all got a few years older and not necessarily wiser.



















Mind you, some of us think we have not changed at all. Olga & Werner



















Saturday was another boat day. One of Malcolm’s two boats is stored at the farm in Hannam Valle on blocks, and it needed to go onto a trailer to be moved again. The problem was that when it went in there two years ago, there was more room.  Now more things have accumulated around it, and there is not that much. It took quit an effort to get the trailer under the boat; this thing is heavy.
Lots of calculating going on, I stay well out of it.



















In the meantime, Malcolm found one of the boat residents.
We think the reason for it being there were the other residents, the Rats.

























In the meantime, Roy and Luke cleaned some of the yard around the kitchen at the Café and made more picnic style table & benches, and we made the courtyard look more like a German Biergarten. I just can’t get away from it.
