Starting Out

So here i sit on a pretty good day. I'm packed and ready to go to Mackay where we will be building two Sala Homes kit homes at Mackay. Only thing is, it won't stop raining there. The schools are open but the buses aren't running so there are some mighty happy kids about.

Dotty and Mr Meatant will contain any disasters on the home front while I am the intrepid adventurer for the first time in a while. We have just put our kids into boarding school which my friend describes as barbaric, between loud sobs. Part of me wishes it didn't have to happen but I am so conditioned to the idea that as long as the girls are happy, then so am I.

I'm not too sure what is interesting to others so this will have to evolve with me. The best thing about this venture so far is that I now have a new gadget (one of those new smart phones) to play with, and I do love gadgets. It is a JasJam and seems to be able to run my life very efficiently if only I can figure out how to use it. I shall consult the helpful people at Whirlpool forums or Aussie 3g should I need assistance.

Home is in the 'bush' with cattle bred for beef, and a small amount of cropping for forage. The recent rain has lifted all our spirits and even the animals have a spring in their collective step.
