The Saga of the Errant Screw
at Currigee
 After breakfast, Bear
told me to cabbage patch yourself. No
problem, only seventy four blogs behind, I put some washing in to soak and
settled at the table to type a few....well, one and see how it goes.
The blue chores list
was to change the water filter, tick, an easy job.
That done it was to the
engine to change the impeller and both fuel filter systems to be changed and
cleaned. I had a great
view but after a while grey smoke rose along with several harsh, blue
words ending in screw. The badly behaved,
work-shy creature had bolted to the end of the field and the poor man couldn’t
reach to put a tether on. After much effort he gave up. He rummaged in his tool
shed and came out with a substitute with slightly the
wrong thread but it just catches enough to hold. Mmm, something new
to the list that seems to always have ‘items various’.
Washing rinsed and
hanging out, it was time for a loaded cappuccino with lunch in the cockpit, Bear
looked tired and strained. I suggested the rest of the day off and there was no
argument from the boss. We played games until roast chicken dinner. We had run
out of his favourite bread sauce ages ago. I personally see no difference
between that gloopy business and wallpaper paste but hey........ anyway I had an
idea, white sauce (plenty of that) and a crumbled slice of bread. I’ll do that while you make the gravy. A plan, I love
it when a plan comes together. Well, apparently it worked, on tasting test,
just a little salt and pepper for
perfection. Praise indeed.
  After last nights quite
lovely sunset, tonight’s was a bit of a light
on-light off. An early night was needed.
 ALL IN ALL A FUNNY OLD DAY
GOOD TO GET AHEAD OF CAIRNS
JOBS
