Fella with a big chopper

Aud and I had a busy weekend. We had the Orange trees scalped by a fella with a big chopper. It would have taken me ages, and even with the right mechanical tools between two blokes, it still took two hours or so. But, we are now the owners of 5 scalped and slightly bald looking Orange trees. Seems that the flying foxes, Bats, like them all the more - since they spent the evening savagely raping each other in the trees last night - judging from the screams and the grunts from them last night. Uhhhgh.

I also advertised my greenhouses - two huge metal things covered in sun cloth (not glass) on a site called Freecycle. Check it out - its international. In essence its like E-bay, but you give things away for free. There can be come amusing junk on it. It's a community website, so we got to meet a few Kiwi's and a few Ozzies and we had a fun two days taking these monster green houses apart. They aquired them and carted them away and now, we have an even BIGGER garden. And no greenhouses - hurrah. And the labour was free too - great stuff.
