Blue belle

More fencing. Claire tried to pull a dead plum tree out - with no success. Nick’s pal from Garvald bags a rabbit. I order a new washing machine for the barn.

So much excitement, Claire and I take to the hills. We head for the trig point and then circle back over the eastern ridge, dropping down a fire break onto the final descent from the horseshoe.

Chilli for tea, with chocolate to follow. We watch Prisoners, an engaging whodunnit almost three hours long. The marathon is punctuated by a visit from Robbie to talk about decking.
