Day 140 - This Place is Cool

27/08/11

Woke up to a beautiful outback sunrise then I started working on the station laptop - trying to add a couple of things that Judy wanted on there.  Unfortunately after adding a windows update the computer crashed so I spent all day recovering data and rebuilding it - was able to get it going late in the evening.


Meanwhile Sean and Jude were doing the daily tasks around the homestead - feeding the horses, pigs, chooks and turkeys as well as picking some fresh veggies.


Also admired these sculptures done by a guy who worked on the station for a while - they're very good and Judy just loves them.


Judy goes on the NT Variety Bash each year (for the past eight years) and drives this old Fairlane with some added extras - cool car.


Judy had to go to Katherine today - she left about 2pm and won't be back until tomorrow.  With her husband Timmy still away that means just Jude, Sean and I left her to look after the homestead (Johnno is here but away all day checking the bores).  Amazing that we met this lady 2 days ago and now we're house sitting for them - isn't country life great because of the people!
