It's been a long and busy couple of days. Woolies is short staffed, the front end alone up to three missing each day. It means those of us who are at work are pulling longer shifts and more shifts in a week. So I did a nine hour shift then had to take Geoff up to the hospital with a series of nose bleeds. They sorted him out but bed was 2am. I did the checks, milking, feeds and then went back to bed for a couple of hours until my next shift.
Last night was another big one, today was a long one. Big shifts (busy) and long shifts are a slog, but a big AND long one really knocks you over. And an extra shift this week on top, I am doing full time hours. Very much looking forward to Sunday and Monday off.
So, in summary, all the critters are well, made a new friend exchanging honey for milk to make yoghurt. Had a bloke come in and he and Geoff pulled down the old fence along the Sledge Track that was sliding down towards the road and looked like sooner or later it would take the wing mirror off a milk tanker. That was a good job done in the nick of time. He's going to come back when I have a slower week and help me clean out the dairy and loafing sheds.
Geoff needs a new CPAP mask and his machine is gradually fading away from old age, so I spent a bit of time on research and the next one will be the same make and model but with an autoset function that adjusts it's settings every three breaths. Hopefully it will be even better than the current one, which has done a sterling job.
