#2030 Saturday 4th July 2020

Seems like ages since the last entry in this blog..... in the interval I had the pleasure of a drive up to Bruce Rock .... with Maxine in her late model Subaru Forester.  The car is a delight and it has all the bells and whistles.  We stayed with our cousin Rob Butler (and Gwen!) .... and had a mini family gathering with cousins that I hadn't caught with for a long time!  ..... including a visit to Tom Lewis.  He's building a Ford model A hotrod.
Tom has invented a beaut device which pulverizes  weed seed behind a harvester..... 
Kaylia begins two weeks of school holidays today.  We (Naomi, Kaylia and I) will be driving to Busselton on Monday for two days at the Broadwater Beach Resort......  Kaylia will love the heated swimming pool as usual.  We will have our usual op shop crawl ......
The building project continues ...... the roof is protecting us from the rain ..... and I've begun framing the west wall. The other walls will have to wait till the bungalow occupants depart so I can take the room to bits and reconstruct it.  This will mean adding a top floor with stairs.

Our little family of chooks are growing up!  Two of the three have begun laying eggs.  They are all real characters.... they like to stay close to us.  When I'm in the workshop they will stand close by and watch me.
