Final Frontier in Sydney

Well, today is the last day of working remotely on the farm for FCC as I will be travelling down to Sydney later today to spend time on Thursday and Friday with my collegues providing as comprehensive handover as I can to assist them wherever possible.

I am also looking forward to catching up with friends and family there to be able to share some time and also to see Sydney after having not been there for over 6 weeks (the longest I have been away since I was born.)

Out the front, the good man, peter is mixing up the cement for the supports of the retaining wall for the garden and it is going to look absolutely fantastic, especially when all the rest of the dark black organic soil goes back into the ground and gets covered with the mountains of mulch we are developing. I still need to have George the Excavator Guy back to pull out the old wysteria (keeping it intact) and helping to move it out to a far more wysteria friendly environment due to the ferocity and vigour that the roots exhibit.... and then with that done the wall can be finished along the front, along with th e digging and setting of about another 40 posts to hold chicken wire that will ultimately keep the rabbits and other creatures out of the garden (which they will certainly want to get into when they see the wonderful greens and vegetables growing inside)

Other things that will be arranged later today is the final installation of our UV Light Filter and very fine chemical filter for the water which ensures that the already pristine rainwater is then purified further by any bacteria that has joined the water via tanks or pipes or gutter and roof (however because they are all new it is as clean as a whistle)

I am looking forward to my Birthday next Tuesday 3rd June which will be preceded by the picking up of our new vehicle on Saturday which is exciting in itself but is also particularly wicked because its a beautiful Toyota Hilux SR 4x4 3l Turbo Diesel.....photos to come soon.

So.... with a few teleconferences out of the way, and the packing done for Sydney, I just need to do some more work for the handover in Sydney and all will be well.

Back soon with more news.
