Good morning everybody.

Its a rainy sorta day. I always feel a bit sad when I see the rain a commin. Ya see, I don't have a good cover over my bones. My people are working to restore me and working hard and fast to get this roof of mine water tight. I'm a big guy, and it does take time.. So I try to be patient.



Yesterday the fireworks were popping and lighting up the sky all around me. Such a beautiful site.

I have had quite a number of visitors this week. Several have come to enjoy the coal mining experience. Some have come for tea(mmmmmmm I love tea time!) We have had several that just come to see me. I work hard to be on my best behavior when I have visitors. I try not to pop or creak to badly and I like to stand nice and tall so they can get a good picture.
My owners tell stories
about me and my life to the visitors taking the tour. I enjoy hearing about my past.

Well the world outside is starting to wake up, and the pigeons on my eaves are moving around to start there day. more later,

just me
