Last night we were back at Hervey Road to do some weeding and digging over the soil to plant wildflowers. The trouble was, and I think we all look back on this with quite some confusion, we were actually using oars to dig the soil. We thought they were spades and forks but clearly looking back at the photos, well they were oars. I don't know where to go from here, it's just rather embarrassing isn't it?

Despite this faux pas we did a pretty great job all in all. As Quora reliably informs us, "'using the right tool for the job'" emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate tool or method for a particular task or problem at hand. Just as using the correct tool can make a job easier, more efficient, and successful, using the wrong tool can lead to inefficiency, errors, and potentially even failure."

Did anyone else read that last sentence quickly and instead of failure fill in the word 'death'?

We may have been inefficient and expended more energy but as far as I know we are all still alive. AND we got an oarsome photo in there too = success.

As they say, when the rowing gets tough, the tough get rowing.

And we are tough aren't we?

In other news we spotted a frog, which lethargically hopped away too quick to evidence with a picture.

Well done team and lovely to see you as always! We're back at Christchurch next week.

Until next time!
