Life aboard a catamaran – while trying to build a very small house with no money.

200/366 • the view from where we are chicken-minding on Braeside Road... •
199/366 • A long overdue visit to our talent-soaked friends, Tony and Margaret - No.5…and the Smalls were given free rein in the studio, and rose effortlessly to the occasion • .

195/366 • The perks of looking after someone else’s chickens. Although, I can’t fail to mention the fact that yesterday (our first day) one of the chooks went rogue and spent a night out on the town. It has since returned home and been given a stern talking to… • .
194/366 • …LOOK. AT. THIS. CAKE… • . 📸 through glass, a bit reflectiony
193/366 • …house of greens… • .
192/366 • …this afternoon I told DB I was going to head off for a walk around the Fruit Loop - she suggested that we walk to Whispering Spirit, the gorgeous farm with miniature ponies, flocks of free-ranging chooks, and excellent produce - I asked her repeatedly if she was sure she wanted to walk that far. It’s about 4km and hilly. She was keen, so off we went. Walking along the highway wasn’t so great, but once we started ascending Swamp Road there were many things to see - sheep, alpacas, plovers, dogs and PIGLETS… • .
191/366 • …I bailed on the walk to the bus stop with Z this morning and headed to the LBT for a $2 shower. This is taken from the front door before I steamed myself in blissful solitude... • .
190/366 • …so moody this morning at 6.30am, I thought there would be rain showers all day. Wrong! This is looking from the cockpit at the Wooden Boat Centre. The very grand @yukonsailingtours is on the far left... • .
189/366 • …sunbeam cloudy morning today… • .
188/366 • …rained all night and I tried to think more about my no-dig garden test patch and less about the hatch leaking on to the bed… •
187/366 • …yepkbye… • .
186/366 • …I began the day by walking Z to the bus stop, going back to boat to get binoculars to look at baby Masked Flapwings™ which were unseeable because they were sleeping under their fluffed out mama-bird; going back to the boat to return binoculars and gather supplies, which I took to the LBT and made this weeks batch of granola, threw a stick for my favourite Franklin dog (Bonny!) while it cooled, headed back to the boat to be greeted by M; “We need a trailer. We need a trailer…” Nodded. Decided to manifest one in direct opposition to the dire state of trailers in Tasmania which all appear to cost double than those on the mainland. Drove with M and DB to Hobart and visited the necessities (@fullersbookshop , the tip shop and SuperCheap Auto) - GumTree pinged me with a trailer and we went and snatched it from a beautiful coouple in Glen Huon. Got home to this moody sky and all is well… • .
185/366 • ...the beginning of a perfect Spring day... • .
184/366 • ...She’s TEN! (Father’s Day has been shunted to tomorrow.) By request, breakfast was fruit toast and fruit salad and vanilla yoghurt. Then we hit @the_french_raccoon for coffee - DB was gifted a bluegum honey caramel chocolate topped tart and @billyhillorganics came over with some fancy mint chocolate 🍫 Next stop? @the_dustymermaid for a fossick and DB (after trying on many pairs of fancy shoes) was gifted some beautiful handmade lavender soap… TBC... • .
183/366 • ...this is DB. She is in the habit of making her own birthday cake; in this instance, a pavlova base. At about 2.45am tomorrow morning (time is uncertain when you’re born in a car on the side of the road) she will turn ten. T.E.N 👀 🎉 There will be culinary updates here throughout the festival of DB tomorrow - because it’s all about the presentation and the taste sensations… • .

144/366 • …LBT, early morning, streetlight, cloud… • .

141/366 • …everyFew days I stop in to check on the non-existent progress on the Delica. My neighbour and mechanic is a very popular man, and in order to distract me from fixing him with my steely gaze he said I was allowed to take this photo of his workshop… • 🔥 ❄️

Trying to fix the Elna Lotus

137/366 • …trying to fix my little Elna Lotus sewing machine – another casualty of Damp Winter Existence – I have figured out, with help from one of the LBT Illuminati, that I need to clean to clean the commutator… and so to YouTube I go. All I wanted to do was patch some jeans …
