A VERY 

PRODUCTIVE

DAY

we also found time to go down to lock 10 and watch a houseboat go through, it passed the house in the morning so we followed it down.  i met my neighbour, lockmaster norm. it's the first time i've gone to see the lock in action

meryl and i got stuck into this strange one legged bench in the kitchen, now i have

a  nice new space - gotta do something about that yucky yellow glass in the door behind meryl - maybe matchstick blind attached on each side would be easier on the eye.

jobs done - so time to get stuck into the yabbies meryl bought at the crown hotel - we had lunch there,  rabbit pie and yabbie chowder but that just whet our appetites so we bought a kilo for tea. meryl did the honours and it's good to see that she chose coordinating glasses and sandals

flexible

little filly!

the sunset was beautiful - the cooler weather

is such a relief after the heat wave - the

water looks just wonderful
