Helen and I successfully made a loaf of bread in the new bread maker. I have since made another loaf and it certainly tastes OK. The only problem with it is that it is very messy with lots a crispy crumbs when it is being cut. Seems to be better after a day when it isn't so fresh, but I wanted to toast newly baked bread. Must talk to the flour supplier and see if I am doing it correctly.
The fence saga at Helen and James’ place is ongoing. The little shit mentioned before, has ripped off a couple of baskets containing prickly plants. I have urged them both, Helen and James, to do nothing and see if he gets tired of his foolish antics. I replaced the baskets with more secure fastenings so we will see if he caves in. Of course he is not doing it during daylight hours and they cannot positively identify him as the culprit. I need some Bikie friends to go visit him and his parents and have a chat. Unfortunately I don’t have any Bikie acquaintances.
Over the last couple of nights I have been having the most realistic dreams relating to two schools, one in W.A. and one in Papua New Guinea. The PNG school was at Bainyik, some 80 kilometres from Wewak on the coast. I was last there 38 years ago and this dream has been a regular over all those years. That school was a Vocational Centre training boys in small business, carpentry/building, agriculture and animal husbandry. I was the manager there for four years. The dream has us returning to PNG from annual leave in Australia and finding the pigs, cattle and fowls all gone and the centre grounds overgrown and students gone bush. I have had that dream so many times I should know that it is not true as I’m having it, but I still wake up feeling a bit unhappy with the students and staff. The W.A. school is the great school I worked at for many years and the dream has me fronting up to work on the first day of my appointment there, running late with the boss waiting out the front for me. Strange stuff!
