More hideous weather. I reckon we've had over an inch and been well and truly battered by the wind. Blah.
Last night we replaced one of the old parchment blinds in the dining room with a new wooden venetian. Today I did the second one all by myself. I am chuffed and my supervisor, Sarge, approves.
The sheep walked out through the foot bath again, and I shut them back in just before dark. They'd already gone in by themselves, having had enough of the weather. I also had to drop part of the temporary electric fence shutting off most the the main paddock. Young Moose had managed to get himself under it but was too scared to come back. He spent most of the day wailing for his mum, so I rescued him and he ran for Belle, who started streaming milk as soon as she saw him coming.
I went into Scottsdale late in the afternoon to pick up some pellets and cracked maize for Annie's milking time feed. I was going to stop in at Ellesmere Patisserie to get one of their nice pastries or a cinnamon scroll or donut, but they were already closed. My taste buds had been preparing for afternoon tea and came home disappointed.
I have been doing a clear out, sort and inventory of the freezers. The laundry upright now contains colostrum in various sizes, while the laundry chest freezer is clean and empty. The three back verandah freezers have been done now and I am putting the inventory on the doors. Very organised and it makes finding stuff a breeze. When we do another sheep or steer for the freezer I will have to note what gets put where so I don't end up with stuff getting old and lost and freezer burned.
I had planned to go over to Westbury to visit the Tasbuilt show home and factory. They make modular homes and have an open day on the first Saturday of each month. However, I now have a birthday party on Saturday night, a baby shower on Sunday and a trip to Launceston for pathology and a follow up menopause specialist on Monday... so I decided to go next month. Maybe one of my friends will be available for a road trip and a lunch.
