The wedding venue got broken into last Thursday night. They took meat, alcohol, and some money that they found. They tried to take the generator, but couldn't get it into their vehicle. They came prepared with boxes to put wine in. They even took the bubble wrap they found to wrap it. Eddie found a hand trolley behind the locked gate on the ttrack that leads to No 1 Line, so that must have been where the vehicle was parked. I didn't even see it when I biked back home that way. The road gate was open and I did think that was a bit strange. There was a fault with the video, so they can't use it. They also took containers of fuel that are easy to access. The lady who runs the wedding venue had to dash out and buy more food in time for the wedding that was happening in the afternoon. It must have been very distressing for her.
Tony has a few chrysalises hanging now. There is a lot of eggs on the plants still. He may take some off, so that the plants don't get completely demolished.
It was supposed to be wet on Saturday, but it didn't get much past a heavy drizzle for a short time. The rest of the time it just spitting, so of no use at all for the track. It is being watered every evening. Matia was away for a couple of nights, so Eddie and I went over and turned it on. Baz has some friends over from the Netherlands and they have gone to Ngawi. A couple who had come from Ngawi, told me that they left Ngawi, because the wind was forecaste to be 48 ks. I thought that will be fun for Matia and their guests, but she said that the wind wasn't too bad and they were able to go diving and get some paua.
When I went for a walk one morning, I decided to go around Jim's motorcross track in the back paddock. (I am not sure if I have mentioned that Jim lives in a house on the race course property with his wife Sandy). I thought it went around in a circle, but it went back on itself a few times, so I got disorientated and didn't really know where I was after a while. Luckily there was a tractor near the gate. When I got back to it for the second time, I found the gate and was able to get out. I was giggling to myself and thinking I was going to have to ring Eddie to come and rescue me. I am going to have another go and see how I get on the second time.
On Sunday, Eddie locked the back gate. Some friends of Jim's came in to use the motorcross track. Eddie said they came in via the back gate. In the afternoon, he heard them saying to Jim that the back gate was locked and they had to go out the main gate.
The Spark man came finally came on Monday and put a new modem into the office and a new sim card into our eftpos machine, so we are all go again and not using our wifi.
I took the photo on a walk one morning this week. It is a gum tree flower.
