We are in Qld for the wedding of an old friend's daughter. They are a horse family. The bride is nearing the end of her vet studies. I've worked with her mother for near on 25 years and known her since she was a horsy kid. They have a beautiful property, a handsome and friendly stallion, three mares and a foal, a red cattle dog, cat and lab mix and a 2 year old girl. Mix all that with marquee erection, arbor construction, flower arrangement, European relatives melting in the heat and you have a lot going on.
Our job today (having attended to mani pedi) was to pick up the sound system. A nice kid, Jessie, helped us understand the set up and spent ages working out the right cables to give us. Faced with the chaos at the house, I appointed myself bathroom cleaner and scoured the tiles and removed cob webs. Sadly the septic tank system precluded me chucking a gallon of bleach down the toilet but I hoping vinegar will make an impact.
Tonight our small house party ate Thai food and drank copious amounts of water. It is going to be blisteringly hot tomorrow and I hope we don't find anyone murdered and left in the mobile cool room. I may go and shut myself in there if things get tense.
I hope you enjoy even if you all do get baked alive.
