Another flawless autumn day.
I had a 9am to 2pm shift so I was up early. It was quite busy at work, 42 click & collects alone. My feet are still sore but thankfully I don't work again until Wednesday night. Janice, the office manager at work, asked if I wanted to train for the office. It would be a shift every second Saturday, 6.45am to 10.45am. In my sleep cycle this would be the equivalent of a 3am rise, but it could be the start of a move to a less physically demanding job.
Aimee and I went for lunch at Loud Iron after work, then we fed the cows and sheep. Udesh gave me a big bag of bananas that were a bit far gone so we distributed them among the cows. There was some consternation with only Annie hooking in and eating all that were offered to her. I guess she has become used to eating whatever I drop in her manger.
We noticed Annie had her left rear quarter over full again today, after being the one non empty quarter yesterday. So I milked some out and noted that it was salty, which is a sign that the quarter is not being emptied.
I have no idea why, because Abe is big enough to take all her milk and she is not showing any sign of pain that would make her kick him off that teat. But either way, I milked out as much as I could while she ate and I will continue to do that until he either started clearing the quarter again or the milk tastes sweet.
I ordered Geoff a new tradie phone, as his old one is 3G and won't work after the end of June. The new one is an Opel Rugged, which is the most affordable tough phone. I might even get one for myself if it turns out to be easy to use.
The three different types of hops in separate bags, finishing the drying process before I sew some into pillows. I will put some in the chook nests too.
