Avian visitors.
I had just prepared a cup of tea this morning when I heard “peep, peep” outside the door of the bus. This little family were looking for handouts. Sorry we do no want duck poop in our awning. They were still really cute though. There are now a pair of Starlings outside showing off their iridescent backs.
Sunny Nelson is living up to its name. Being parked under a Willow tree is great when the sun is shining, but when the rain falls leaves and branches concentrate the drops. The other night there was a strong Northerly blowing and we decided to put the awning away in the dark before going to bed. As we rolled the fabric away some small branches rolled up with the roof. Some action with a sharp knife the next morning should prevent a recurrence.
Mike has developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – possibly aggravated by the use of an outboard motor. We are attempting to manage this with a splint worn at night and when practical during the day. The worst part is pain at 3am!
Adult Learn to Sail courses start this Sunday which means that Mike is now coaching six days a week. Lots of fun! Lorna has been having a few short days as the lady she is to relive has not gone yet. Full time work will start next week.
