It's been pretty warm and a bit humid. Less rain than forecast, hopefully a decent fall this weekend.
Jason cut the hay as planned, and has tedded it twice. This is fluffing it up to help it dry. He was going to bale it this afternoon, after I had gone to work, so I'll have to check in the morning. We decided on 4 and a half foot bales rather than 5 foot to make them easier to handle for Bessie.
No word on the May Shaw job yet, but I have an interview for the Ochre job on Tuesday. I am still waiting on details on the hospital job from DEC, I hope they get back to me early next week.
Work is madly busy and we seem to get fewer and fewer staff each week. It is certainly helping me get over any hesitancy about changing jobs !
I have ordered a ham for christmas from Josh, the butcher at Ringarooma. He's doing a nice triple smoked one for me. Mangoes are in at woolies, but they are picked green and don't stand much of a chance of ripening. I remember being able to walk into a shop and know they had mangoes in, nowadays you can't smell them even up close.
Either Belle is dropping production or Tiddy has stepped up his take again. Given the sausage shape he has going on I suspect he is eating very well. I am still getting enough milk for the house, but some days it's close !
When I was in Switzerland I saw a few stoves like this. Combining heating and cooking, with a bed on that upper platform, it seems like a wonderful way to keep warm in winter. The sheer thermal mass of the structure should keep the bed warm all night. It would certainly appeal to the cats.
