Homework

There is a lot of yard work to do here. My mowers are working properly now. The hand mower is fixed and works good. Have done the council strip (There is a strip of grass between the property and the road) which we have to maintain. If council has to do it then our rates will be going up. The rates are already very high and we do not get much services from them. Now the sullagepump start playing up.
Have no sewerage and the water used in the house is collected in a tank, which has to be pumped empty regularly. My neighbour came to help me to get it out of the tank and brought it to the people where I bought it. They had it working all day and did not play up. Will get it back and in the tank again. Got today kit 9 from gollyville quilt. Just doing kit 7, cannot work that much any more on quilting, however it gets hotter and then by 9 am it gets too hot to work outside. So will get more time.
Mowing can be done in the late afternoon, have dinner at lunchtime and lunch at dinner time. Had finished lunch at the computer at about 7 pm.
Tomorrow have to do shopping will be the first time this week that I am going out. Am getting a hermit this way. Saturday will be also going out then to the flea market in Beaudesert with a Jenny.

When you want to become an Australian citizen you will have to do a test.
This one is from the Australian government.

Here the link to it

Have done the test myself and had 20/20.
On the very first day one person failed the test.
Have seen on an Australian quilting mailing list another test. Would have failed this one.


Cultural diversity is fine, as long as there is a base-line of cultural
understanding and respect thereof…
