Mice Battle Continues

Austins now three, cat one (Lucille now likes the cat!)

First Blood to us

Yesssss, one mouse to us..........just a paddock full to go!

Mice Update Score

Mice = 1 bag of biscuits, 1 bag jelly beans and a hole through my lunch bag!

         = Bonus point for the mice: while I was doing demonstrations on the School House  verandah  a mouse got in the previously chewed hole and when I opened my bag to get a drink out he leapt out, bounded off my arm and was gone in a flash.

Mice Hunters (us) =  Two traps - None caught



The Vermin Wars Begin!

Well it had to happen the mice have finally managed to break into the van, much to the disgust of Lucille, much cleaning and searching this morning followed by a trip to town to buy traps etc.
I suggested we toss in one of the farm cats to hunt 'em out but that did not go down well.

Had a great day yesterday doing whip making demo's to a group of over 100 people, they were all School of the Air students, there parents and teachers, they had a fun day and really enjoyed my demonstrations and whip cracking.

The warm weather is still with us and the sunsets have been pretty special as well, not bad having happy hour around the camp fire as we watch the sun set.

Horse Expo

Well have just finished a very busy long weekend here at Jondaryan, the property staged the working horse expo that attracted lots of people and more importantly lots of working horses.

The weather cracked up today and has rained for most of it.

I missed a lot of the horse demonstrations as I was busy doing whip making demos, talking to hundreds of people and selling whips etc., very tired but happy with the result.

The Hugo's are still here and have enjoyed the weekend and are now staying till Thursday, great to have their company.

Hello to everyone at home and safe travelling to others on the road, to  Athol and Doreen hope you are enjoying your new van.

The wet and cold weather here has the local field mice seeking shelter wherever they can....like in John and Kathies annexe, under the bonnet of their car, in our annexe, Lucille even found one half way up the screen door(on the outside) she actually believed me when i said that the mice would not be able to jump up the step!!!!!

One day the waste water was not draining away so Lucille went to investigate and pulled the sullage hose of for a look see and sure enough a little gray fellow jammed up it, she is becoming very nervous!

She is scared of a little mouse but looks up at the draught horse that towers over her and gives them a dressing down when they attack her washing, doesn't make much sense really.

Thats it for now catch you all soon

ps Thinking of poor Brian with his cat and dog problems and now the weather has turned nasty on him to!

A couple of pics from the expo

Hugo's Here

Cold windy day today but the afternoon was brightened by the arrival of John and Kathie Hugo, good to have old friends here to chat with and enjoy happy hour with of course!
Speaking of happy hour I have heard on th egrapevine that our Caravan Club has relaxed our rules a bit since we left....happy hour at 4.30pm!!!! Cheers I like it!
