spring

It's been a busy couple of weeks.   We have had family staying with us.   Have consequently done more sight seeing  and less work around the place.

The Tall Ships are in Hobart presently.  Hobart loves a good festival.   people turn out from everywhere and clog the city centre.    Parking is a problem!

I took the Kids on Saturday.   oddly enough I managed to get a park on the waterfront.   The water front and the lawns of  Parliament were transformed.    The 150 year old Steam powered Carousel was a Hit,   cranking along with organ pipe music.

the McCredden Girls,  Summer,  Kiralee and Ella.
 

Hula hoops on the lawns of parliament.   There were Tug of wars going on between the crews of the various tall ships.

Today I have been Mowing.  Its remarkable how just a bit of warmer weather sets the grass and the thistles going.   I have learnt how to take the blades off the Mower having bent one on a rock.   I straightened it yesterday and have rebent it today.   High carbon Steel doesn't like being bent on rocks.   it seems to have a memory for its bent shape but not its straight one.
