On Sunday we planted a mix of mainly Australian native trees - all 52 of them - down one side of one of the fairways. There were a couple of other types of trees in there - for instance - two pecan nut trees. Plenty of wattle and gum trees to start with and a couple of crepe myrtle to keep an interesting look about the place.
This weekend is more of the same - we have another 60 to go in but learning from experience we are going to stretch the planting over a few days.
Sunday afternoon had me roasted and toasted. I remembered to cream up all over my face and arms but forgot that I was wearing a sleeveless shirt and my back became a disaster area - however all is over and at the moment I am several shades darker across the back than I am normally.
Here I am hoping that this is the last of the disasters - first - burnt the hand badly (I never half do ANTHING!) - then have a run in with the ute (a bout which I lost badly) - and now sunburnt back - hopefully this is the third and final sorry chapter in my disaster pack for some time!!!
We are off to Tasmania in two weeks time - in time for Christmas and also to meet my future in laws - Tom and I became engaged on Saturday. We have been talking about it and now have finally started to do something about formalising our relationship. We are thinking about getting married sometime around February/March - already our idea of a quiet ceremony with only four people has flown out the door with people telling us that they are going to be here.
Maybe the idea will be to hand them all a tree and a pick - we are going to get those trees planted somehow!!!
