 
1 1st - Paulie and Stephen receive their Birthday gift from James remotely from Oxford
|
2 A super assortment that clearly triggers a manic episode for Stephen
|
3 And someone nibbled fruit last night thinking it was their birthday. So a trap set
|
4 2nd - one of Paulie's gifts from Stephen for her birthday on the 7th is early. Upcoming winter cycling needs warm hands
|
5 Also travelling to France will need free hands. So a backpack arrives.
|
6 Andrew the Brown Antechinus (we THINK he's not a rat) accepts his gift of fruit and is relocated at the park
|
7 7th - A spin for a Birthday lunch with Jan and Jim at Noosaville near their new home to be
|
8 8th - keeping the pool in good shape
|
9 10th - Olivia flies in from Adelaide for a catch up with the Birthday parents, family and friends
|
10 As Olivia's birthday is next month, gifting happens now (a cocktail book)
|
11 Olivia's gift to the Oldies is for cycling or hiking picnics
|
12 .
|
13 .
|
14 11th - Adam (with minimal Stephen help) repairs water damage inside the wall at the back of the house
|
15 Whilst doing so Stephen pokes a hole into the walk-in wardrobe
|
16 But he repairs it a few days later
|
17 Paulie's niece Shari, Pete and kids, and Clayton drop in for lunch
|
18 .
|
19 .
|
20 Olivia does a better selfie
|
21 13th - Stephen finishes up the repair work. Oiling and sealing
|
22 .
|
23 14th - a pool safety inspection notes that some of the garden is a climbing hazard so out it goes.
|
24 some branches being sharp (no- Stephen isn't on anticoagulants. Yet)
|
25 .
|
26 16th - Stephen is heading to Mareeba to see Nick before leaving to France. He decides to give the family bible to the Mareeba Museum
|
27 .
|
28 17th - Paul Adam started work on meeting pool inspection requests.
|
29 But most of the jobs that the guys wanted done before our guests from Canada come are done.
|
30 Meanwhile Stephen was landing in Cairns, and jumped in his rental and heads to the Atherton Tablelands. Here at Kuranda
|
31 .
|
32 The Baron Falls. The next month it, and other water sources, bring Cairns the worse flooding in recorded history
|
33 But up on the Tablelands Stephen gets to see his Great-Grandfather's monument
|
34 And then hand over the bible.
|
35 It will be in a special place near Great-grandpa's rocking chair.
|
36 18th - off to see Nick on 3 visits over 2 days
