Lazy Sunday afternoons....

The crisp sunny weather lately is just what one hopes for in Winter.  Invigorating and glorious. Perfect for lazy Sunday afternoons fishing in the bottom dam. 

When purchasing the property we were told that two of the dams had been stocked with fingerlings, so we set out to attempt to catch dinner.  On the day pictured above, we were not successful, but then my sister Chloe and her partner Dallis came to visit, and our luck changed...
 

Well, OK, Dallis was the one with the luck.  This is Dallis with a yellow finned something or other.  We don't know what kind of fish it is but we do know it was very tasty BBQd, wrapped in foil with orange slices and dill.

And this is Ian with an eel!!!!

I knew there were eels in the dams.  And Ian wonders why I refuse to swim in the dams.  No thanks !!
 
The eel was returned to the dam.















And while our visitors were here, the boys built a great BBQ near the house dam.  We picked up the BBQ plate for about $5 at a local auction.  It was the kind of auction where you just turn up, bid, then pay your cash right there and then.  No registering, or numbers, or paperwork.  It was no hassle, and quite a bit of fun.

 

Note the yellow watering can, I mean fire fighting equipment, behind Ian.

 

Sausage salute !
