17Jul2010	Tui Today I saw the first Tui as he flew lazily and dipped across the paddock, settling on the tip of a tall pine. Over the next half an hour or so he explored the gully and I could hear his distinctive voice as he called out, seeking cousins. I just hope he decides to take up residence and not just pass on through. There is plenty to keep him here, but no mates at present. 17 Jul 2010
11Jul2010	Frosty Clear calm winter days usually result in severe frosts. After all the rain and with things still being so damp there has been some impressive ice. 11 Jul 2010 More Photos
07Jul2010	Insulation olmec It's the middle of winter but we finally got our insulation installed. So far we think we feel warmer. In a few weeks I will be able to provide conclusive numeric verification based on temperature recordings. EECA Energy Wise provides funding for insulation 07 Jul 2010
03Jul2010	Solstice Gathering In an attempt to break up the gloomy monotony of the long dark winter months we organised a family get together. Lots of food, good company and the obligatory bonfire. The burned circular area has subsequently been dug and mulched in preparation for planting in spring. 03 Jul 2010

29Jun2010	The little fellas In an attempt to diversify our gene pool and add a touch more variety to our flock we acquired 6 new chooks. The 3 little english game hens, as seen in the foreground, are cute little midgets and the rooster has a hilarious crow... Also in the mix, 2 bantams and a lavender arikana. 29 Jun 2010
