Today started with two fried eggs, bacon and toast, then a couple phone calls, one to the Department of Mines and one to the police department. I helped grease an excavator, had lunch, then spent a couple hours swinging a sledge hammer breaking open a few large sandstone boulders. Yes, we found a little bit of opal. Some laundry was folded and almost put away. Dinner consisted of steak, potatoes, carrots and pumpkin (Australian pumpkin is, I think, in American English, a kind of squash). Thanks to a brand new SHURflo pump I was able to take a comfortable shower after dinner. I have just found and completed a Weed Hygiene Declaration and may have a glass of whisky to celebrate.
