1st Oct to 8th Nov , Margaret & Bruce were out for the Birthday‘s as well & the Boy’s (Den & Bruce ) were kept busy moving shrubs & making a new garden & planting some trees . The Boy’s were not silly they loaded the dirt up in the wheel barrows, then got the tractor & drove them back to the house yard to save their backs. They had a bit of fun fishing & caught a few fish as Brigalow Creek at the back of Mick & Nicks was flooded & flowing. Maddy was not too keen on the worms that went on the hooks. We had a nice night out for tea for Nick’s Birthday . We woke to 3 more baby Guinea Pig’s this morning, Marg & Bruce went back to Bribe Island & then we headed up to Chinchilla to see Corey Val & Hayden. The trip was a bit hairy as there was lots of water over the road. When we got there we had a nice surprise Kirsty & Riley were staying too. We had a great 10 days with them, we saw their Creek in flood & it was nice to see Kirsty
& our Great Grandson Riley. Den helped Corey finish painting the front of the house, put up shelving in the garage & mow the lawn. Hayden is as tall as Pop now & he has grown up so much. We took Hayden & a mate fishing & kayaking & Haydy took Nan fishing on the property, & all I was worried about was snakes as the rain & flooding had brought out a lot of unwelcome “creatures”. We did not catch anything only Mozzie & Sand Fly bites. Kirsty & Riley are moving to Chinchilla & are staying in a van on the property to save some money, so we will see them a bit more often. The Chinchilla weir was flooded & flowing really fast , it was a sight to see. We headed back to Gundy on the 20th Oct as I had a Physio appointment for my shoulder & we were to mind Maddy for the weekend while Mick & Nick went to Tamworth for a horse show. The day we arrived back Mick had a few days off & was digging up the yard & diverting the water from all the gutters to over the other
side of the drive way, Maddy had great fun helping to drive the digger. So Den was straight into helping & it took nearly 3 days to do the job. Lucky Mick had use of some heavy equipment to make the job easier . I started Physio & she does not think it will help but we are going to give it a go & I will have a bit of acupuncture as well. We minded Maddy for the weekend & she was good, we were kept busy taking Maddy for swimming lessons, feeding all the animals, minding Maddy & mowing lawns & Den watched the V8’s race. So it was a big weekend. The next weekend Mick went on a houseboat at the coast for a Buck’s Night & Nicky had a Christening on Saturday, then the School Fete. On Sunday she took Maddy to Inglewood for Pony Camp. Since then Den keeps busy pottering, planting tree’s, weeding, fixing the watering system. On the 2nd Nov, Melbourne Cup Day we spent at the Railway Hotel with a Smorgasbord Lunch with Nicky & her friend Judy. We had a great Day, did not win, but had a good time. We
can’t believe we were in Kalbarri W.A. 12 months ago with Jenny & Alex, also a good day. Last weekend Mick, Den & Nick started putting up a fence behind the shed & container to keep the horses out & make a space to park the horse float behind the shed. The boys mowed the lawns & we were so excited Den actually mowed some of the middle of the back yard that was the swimming pool when it rained . I keep busy baby sitting, cleaning & getting tea for the working crew & I try to help where I can. They are so busy, they don’t have time to scratch themselves. I have started walking to get some exercise & I am doing about 4 km a day. I am hurting, but I want to keep going as I have put on so much weight I need a new wardrobe. I am trying to diet as well Happy Birthday Jim for the 7th Nov. This avo we had a drink down at the creek & rested our drinks on the back of the quad. My physio finished today , Monday , there is not much she can do
for my shoulder, so will have to see a specialist. We are planning to meet Brett & Kara near Byron Bay for a holiday about the 18th November, so should be good. Well that’s all the news for now, sorry a few photos.
