Only 3.5 hours wait. At 11.30 a.m. the person responsible for reading and sealing the meter arrived.

A last glimpse back.

Back home I resumed my garden work. A couple of weeks ago I purchased a bag with pine chips for mulching my freshly planted trees. 1 bag - ridiculous. The content disappeared in no time. So I went to a supplier and bought a whole ute load (1.5 cubic metre). It disappeared. Now I thought I will be clever (in German: 'nicht kleckern, sondern klotzen') and ordered a truck load of pine chips!
[Notice the name. There are so many German descendants around South Australia, and especially around my place. The builder of the shed is B. Schutz, the earthmover is J. Launer, a settlement nearby is called 'Stendal' a place in Eastern Germany where relatives of mine used to live.]

Now I'm disappearing! I'm shoveling since 2 days and the mountain of chips remains the same.

And there was something else....


Oh yes.....
