A fine
but cold day got up to 0℃.
We moved about 50m to a spot with a little more sun. We stayed with a slight rise at the rear of EC awaiting the ground to thaw a little before John dug some holes to level us.
We had an early snack and waiting eagerly
for our roast lamb. Did some computer work and kept warm inside.
Peter
and Ola delivered our roast lamb, yes a whole one, around 1400 hrs.
We gave them a front and back leg and a bottle of NZ pinot. They left
and we launched into a meat meal. It was very yum. The stomach
cavity had been stuffed with local garlic which is a leaf and had
marinated for a while.
After
eating the rib cage (or half of it) we dissected it into segments and
wrapped in Tinfoil put on the roof to freeze.
It
started to snow a little in the early evening and just before bed
time we realised our water pipes were frozen……. Had not even
thought of them.
