Mark got all the blocks finished really fast. Rowan and I cleaned up the sites and loaded in all the broken blocks and any spare ones that were not used. We took them into town to return them to Mitre10. Back in Herbert we went to Chris and Ferne’s place to learn all the feeding rituals of the animals. They are going away and asked us to house sit and pet mind. Chris let us borrow his concrete vibrator for the blocks. Last photo is of Rowan taking it on his motorbike haha.

Oh and there place is an awesome earth home that Chris almost built all on his own. He did a fantastic job. It has some really cool quirky features. Of course he dug out the hillside.

Ready for block fill! It all goes very smoothly and easily. Block fill is easy when you have paid for a pump to get it in the right place. We get it all done really easily. Rowan and I fill the trailer up with the last load of wood to take back to Tama. I also go spray all the broom and fence lines. I didn’t go near the neighbour as she has lots of plants in the fence line and last thing I need it to kill them!

On our way to Herbert we hear a hissing, quickly realising that it is the truck. We stop and a hose has come off. I think we stopped fast enough not to cook the engine but I am unsure. I end up calling AA while Rowan is under the hood. Now to wait. Luckily the tow guy is happy to attach our trailer to his tow bar and takes us to Herbert garage. I go get UM who hasn’t been run in months. She comes to life with ease! Back up car in place and now ordered a hose kit from Australia the Noodly is out of a job for a while.

We fill the rest of the week with small jobs and get a chance to go see the Victorian festival. Awesome seeing all the dressed up
