I had a lovely sunny day for my birthday, so I did some fencing in the sunshine. It was nice to be outside in the fresh air doing something for myself.
Wednesday was a Paint n Sip put on by RAW (Rural Alive and Well). We were doing a rainbow cow. A long way from how I would like it to be, but I reckon it was the best one there. Not too modest, huh ?
I attended a Climate Seminar on Thursday, really good information and some ideas for planting pastures to cope with reducing autumn rainfall and slightly warmer winters.
Today was more fencing and then a Thermo-mix party at Juliet's. I think Thermo-Mixes are the new tupperware. We made a roasted capsicum and cashew dip, a strawberry and rhubarb icecream, pizza bianca and a chicken pasta dish.
We had some snow on the mountain on Tuesday, and unusually it was still hanging around on Wednesday.
I repaired the sheep shelter, as the cows had been rubbing on it, cracking the palings that it was clad in and ripping them off. I replaced the broken palings (the lighter coloured timbers in the photo) and put two big pieces of timber on the end of each verandah wall to stabilise them and protect the palings.
Part of my fencing included setting up cutout switches so I could power only the sections of fence that are needed right then and save some power. This one was quite complex but I can cut off or on three different sections.
