Sick Old Sox and Reps Behaving badly

 Sox feeling very sorry for himself after he had his eye sewn up at the vets again. He often gets ulcers in his eye and they are buggers to heal.  Nothing very serious but he looks so cute snuggled up in front of the fire.

Reps at Leigh. Another great gig. They were naughty boys after though. Seems Dave and others  were creating chaos in the bunkroom so that other guests refused to pay. Reps had to reimburse the sawmill. Oooops hope they haven't blotted their copybook there

15th May 2013 Rat plague

We seem to have a plague of rats. Last night The Attic Tribe, who seem to be bait resistant, held a bait banquet above our bed followed by a few rounds of the highland fling.

Ed was sitting playing a relaxed sax piece when lola climbed up on the couch and sat by his shoulder. Too cut.

Emma's confirmation. Poor wee thing had been so excited, chosed her clothes and hair but was sick with a cold and ear ache on the day. Life sucks when that happens Em.

Waiting for grass seed to grow but I'm thinking it will take a while  in this freezing weather

 18th May 2013 - Autumn visions from our place

Gordon and wendy cut down the macrocarpa around their house. Apparently there was an accident where a tree fell on the workers ute, narrowly missing the house.
