There was a cracker of a frost today, followed by a glorious day. I hung the washing out straight away before breakfast to make the best of it.
After milking for the house I cleared rubbish out of the carport, implement shed and Poppy's shed. All straight to the skip. Then I moved four wheelbarrow loads of bale wrap and hay net into the skip, probably another four to go.
I cleaned out the sheep shelter and used sheep panels to put a little pen at the front and filled the back of the shelter with straw bedding for a little jersey bull calf coming from Robyn's on Tuesday. There's now fresh water, nice hay and a cup of muesli (calves nibble a little bit if given the opportunity) and the peach teat bucket is assembled and ready.
Had a nice little rack of lamb for dinner tonight, as the freezer emptying continues. It was delicious and tender. The dogs have benefitted from any freezer burned meat, and the chickens from old soups and other leftovers. At least we aren't wasting the discards. I finished the meal with strawberries and cream. Small luxuries.
