Happy New Year everyone!
The hose is working again, fixed by pulling the hose all the way out and
feeding it back in slowly, as it had kinked. However it still leaks at the join
over the blue tub, so will need a new hose-joiner that I can get.
Is there anyone who can do chooks and garden on Friday? We are hoping to spend
the day at Mt Martha and it looks like it will be particularly hot!
See whoever can make it to the botanic gardens soon!
Thanks, Ian.

Yes, Observatory Gate, outside the Visitors Centre opposite

It will be hot, but the kids garden water feature are cool,
least there will be water and trees to cool us down.
