The Last Week
October 5th, 2008 AndrewDWhat a week. For those that do not know it has been school holidays. We had friends from Sydney and their kids down for a few nights and they left one daughter here…Anyway we then had another friend from Sydney come down for Friday lunch. Lynsey also has had two other friends from Yass stay over for a few nights as well. All I can say is that the girls rooms are a mess. That means for most evenings there had been 4 girls in the house (with three going on to teenage-hood). Also I took Friday off work so I had hopped back on the train Wed night, worked from home Thursday with Friday off.
Anyway Monday we are heading to Sydney, me for the usual week but only the day for the family and also to drop off one of Lynsey’s friends. So what did we do for the weekend? Actually not a lot. It rained most of Saturday which was good, as it filled the tanks and the girls had a mud fight.

Planted some more beans – Red Kidney beans and Ying Yang beans, both are for drying. Also potted the first of the tomato seedlings that have come up. Once sprouted in the trays and the second leaves are appearing I pot them in old toilet paper rolls, here I will let them grow a bit larger and I can plant them directly into the soil. Hopefully every two weeks we will have 5 tomato plants to put in the garden.
