Today was Peter Klein's funeral in Kingaroy. It was a good celebration of his life. Ian came up as well. Dad got a mention in the uleugy about which he was chuffed. There was about 140 people there and we when to the RSL after and had lunch and a yarn. Robyn was busy meeting all the Jandowae people she had taught they kids or knew her mum. She also caught up with the Alan boys part of a family of boys who attended dances with their family of girls and made great dance partners. Dad was delighted to see Jill Peter's sister. Dad and her did a ballet demonstration as kids at Cooranga North. Jill remembered it like dad did. She is in a wheel chair now but he was impressed with how bright she was. After this we did our shopping and came home. I use the fire pump and the pool hose I had brought to clean out the trough below the dairy. Put a chain on the float I fixed hope it will be good for some time now. 
Tuesday 29
Went to Dalby to see Mal Smith re Financial planning. Happy with the outcome and plan. Challenge is to raise $20000 each through relief teaching. See how that goes. Came home and started work on cleaning out the tank above the dairy. Muck in the bottom was about knee deep. Talking to Dad it has been there 30 years so I don't think we will have to do it again. 
Wednesday 30
First day at Jandowae. Went pretty well except that one lesson was a real dud but I survived. They have a 7/8 Composite with 11 kids and a 9/10 one with 8 kids. There we were kids away but it meant that I taught the whole highschool. Came home and after a cuppa we worked some more on the tank. Will do one more bit tomorrow. 
Thursday 31
Another day in Jandowae. Again I am enjoying it. Ride there was hectic encountered 21 gravel trucks on the journey. Taught Maths and Man Arts today. Storm was brewing as I headed home. It blew but we did not get any rain. Dad said there was hail about seem to be small cells. I refill mouse baits. We did not do any more on the tank today just got an early night.  
Friday 1
Another day in Jandowae. Roday i did computers with Prep and Year 2 English 7/8 HPE and 9/10 Art.  Rode home through the wind farm along the Nigara road. We finished cleaning out the tank and put the pump on to fill it. 
Saturday 2
Went out this morning and cleaned out all the troughs. Need to bring gravel to place around the troughs next. Zach showed up after lunch on his bike. Harry and Val had invited us down to see the latest blast at the Quarry. They let Dad push the button. They had invited people from all around so it was quite a community event. Came home to watch MotoGP sprint. Tried tonight bed early.

Week 69 20-27 July CRD57 W3 Europe

Sunday 20 Started the day with a visit to Kelpies on the North East of Falkirk. These huge art installation of two houses heads represent images of the Scottish mythical beast the Kelpie a water creature that looks like a horse. Very impressive. More driving in the beautiful Scottish countryside to our breakfast spot Tinto Hills Tearooms near Thankerton. Here I met a motorcyclist enjoying a ride and a Sunday morning coffee. Really think I need to come back and ride here. Next we visited Hadrain's wall or the ruins of part of it. It was the Romans Defence line across English to keep the Scots out. Originally 4 metres high what we saw was part of the foundations. The view of the English countryside was picturebook idyllic. Next we went to Lockerbie to see and reflect on the event of the Lockerbie bombing where a bombed PanAm jet literally fell out of the sky in 1988. The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
