The first day of my two weeks off and gloomy weather. The clouds were below the Sideling, which I guess must classify as a high fog ? No fog at our level but I could see up the Cuckoo Valley and it was bright sunlight there, maybe 5km away as the crow flies.
I had a very quiet day, had two long naps and I think I needed them. Apart from the animal chores the only other work I did was feeding the washing through (as it's going to be wet later in the week) and filling the dishwasher.
Geoff and I went to Little Rivers for drinks and dinner (texas bbq food van) with Shane, Juliet, Thomas, Mark, Sally, Mark & Sally's daughter, and Pete. They had mulled wine and hot cider, live music and a wood fire so it was a very cheerful night. I now have a hankering for rice pudding and mulled wine so I might do some of my own for my birthday tomorrow.
I went up and opened the far end up for the cows as the grazing is all gone close to the house. They galloped up there and were still there when I went out to feed Mae about 9pm, so I put the feeder and milk on the quad, rode up there and fed her and rode back. Finn ran along all the way and is now sound asleep. There are headlights on the quad so that is a real plus. The cattle were a bit bemused but Mae was very glad for her milk.
