The clouds are starting to gather, rumour has it there's another front coming in. Everyone has food and shelter so I feel good. I'd like to replace the plastic curtain in front of the chook house before the next easterly though.
I thought the bull was going to come through the gate and find the hay bale and shelter, but he got distracted by one of the heifers and didn't get any further than the corner of the paddock. Annie and Beanie and their calves were all at the gate, so at least he saw where it is and that it's open.
I did a bit of research on zero turn mowers today. Getting one is the biggest item on the wish list. If we get a good tough one I don't even need to get a slasher for the tractor. It would be handy to be able to tidy up the areas the hay mowing doesn't get, to bring on new growth.
Geoff did a couple of jobs around the farm today. A waterproof cap on the top of one of the power poles, to prevent water getting down the cut end and rotting it out. While he was on the ladders he also screwed down the eastern end of the dairy roof before the next easterly started pulling that off.
In the house he ran the first lengths of copper pipe to replumb the laundry and make life a little simpler. He was planning to go and get the other parts tomorrow, but forgot everything (except Woolies) will be closed because it's Kings Birthday long weekend. That sounds really odd, I guess we'll get used to it.
