The weather here is now changing drastically, with the day-time temps down into the mid-60's. As this follows some weeks of WELL above average temps for the time of year, this is welcome relief - although the locals are walking around all wrapped up, and shivering - they don't know what a winter is here! It does make it much easier doing all the work outside - and there's plenty to do. The land hasn't been mowed for at least ten years - so that's slow going with the mower running at max height, and slowest speed for the first pass.

The land has old fencing around three sides, which has to be renovated, and then the fourth side fenced from scratch. None of this is cheap - and isn't something that can be done too quickly.

Then I am looking forward to getting my shed, so that I can finally get all my tools out of the house and more readily available - and gain brownie points from the wife at the same time (fellas, you know what that is all about!).

But now is not the time to be sitting on a computer - work calls.
