Back to sunny and hot. Poppy invited herself in to lay under the fan.
I sorted out all the cardboard and paper that is being stored for the burner, loose stuff into chaff bags and household paper into mesh holding rings. I moved all the soft plastic chaff and feed bags into the shearing shed where mice can check them out without messing up the dairy. Geoff loaded up the wheelie bins in the trailer and will do a tip run tomorrow arvo.
Annie had a bleed off today. Cows have a show of blood about three days after being on heat. It's hard to track a cow that isn't in with alot of other cows as there isn't much mounting, so the bleed off is something that can at least be marked on the calendar.
Abe's scrotum is coming away, the rubber ring has cut off almost all the flesh and something has bumped it. It's annoying him, but not a problem otherwise and will be gone in a day or two. I sprayed him with Repelex to keep flies away from it.
I checked all the sheds for eggs, as no-one is laying in the chook house at the moment. I found nests in the hay shed and implement shed, but no caches. There are three broodies at least.
The electricity authority will be swapping our house meter over for a smart meter, I'll have to sit down and work out how to be most efficient with the new off peak tariffs.
The curtains on the bedroom window were getting mould on them so I took them down and washed them, they came up really well, bright and fresh.
Dinner with Shane and Juliet and their family at the Thai restaurant at Anabels. Not quite the caliber of Lime Thai back in Dubbo before we left (the new Lime Thai is not as good) but better than Scottsdale has seen.
This idea was on the internet, I think it's a great idea for stairs or a deck on a farm house.
