Tuesday started with another meeting with the accountant to try a different path to rolling out the SMSF. That started out promising and foundered on the rocks of a missing passport once again. We pulled a duck out of the freezer to defrost and picked the last of the apples before turning the house upside down in one last search for the expired passport. I guess I am going to have to apply for a new one.
Wednesday we had lunch with Robyn at the Branxholm pub, a nice large meal. We came home and prepped the duck (Arfur had paid for electrical work with it) by stuffing it with lemon and garlic and basting with a rich sauce as it roasted. It was delicious !
Today Aimee and I did all the animal chores early and headed off to Launceston. It was a big day, we returned a circuit breaker and picked up an 3 gang architrave switch for Geoff at AWM. Then to Officeworks where we bought a cradle to hold Geoff's new phone in his car for hands free and organised to print and laminate the air photo of the 25 acres remaining, for farm planning.
Next stop was JB Hifi where we bought a factory seconds microwave, and window shopped food processors. Then Bunnings for a traffic cone (Geoff wants to work on the driveway) and a 36 pack of cat food cheaper than the supermarket. We then hooked down to Petstock Country and bought a bag of lucerne cubes (Yay !! Been looking for those for years) and then across to KMart for a week's worth of basic black tshirts.
That took us to a late lunch at Malaylicious, malaysian food. Aimee had laksa and I had marinated chicken that was fried and then tossed in a sweet and savoury grainy mix. No idea what that might be called in malaysian, on the menu it was "cereal oatmeal chicken". It was delicious anyway.
We had a little time before Aimee's hair appointment so we went window shopping, ending up with macarons at a dessert shop. Aimee got her hair cut, coloured and styled and I napped, read and daydreamed. We found a lost phone in the toilets at our car park and handed that into a nearby shop, and finally got home around 8pm.
The new microwave is a couple of generations more advanced than our old one, which was on its last legs. Geoff is deciding whether to make another mail box out of it. I think it might end up in the dairy as a small rodent proof storage safe.
