Celie, the Keplie Indi is training
June 29 2016
We have just had two
glorious days of sunshine and warmth.
It has been heaven here but Bo chose this week to take her kids and Ti
on a seaside adventure holiday, and it has been perfect for them. They have been horse riding, enjoying
the local hot spa and doing coastal walks. The boys have a skateboard and places to practice and
tomorrow they plan to go on an adventure tree walk. Al sets off for the UK next week and Bo is suggesting Edd
and I take a break too. That would
be nice.
Edd went back into
hospital last Friday and had another general anaesthetic so that his leg could
be manipulated to break down scar tissue.
He now has a very swollen painful leg, but his knee does bend more. It is all taking a long time to heal
and so far he does not feel there is much progress. Luckily he came out of hospital on Saturday so we were able
to go to Ella’s first birthday party on the Sunday. Wayne and Danni hired a bowling club hall as a venue and had
toys for the kids and a bar for the adults. There was even football on the TV screen for addicted dads.
We also had twin male
lambs born to the first of the dorper ewes. They are both large solid lambs and their mother is doing a
good job caring for them. Even so
we still worry about fox attack and it is still risky at this stage of their
development. Their mother has a huge
udder so at least they have lots of milk. I have let the sheep back in the
house site so that they are on fresh pasture. It is annoying having to open and shut gates when we drive
to the front of the house but I have moved ten chooks and a rooster to the
small chook shed so that I can let them out with the sheep. We will put up
with the inconvenience.
There has been so much
rain that the chooks under the olive trees had reduced their area to mud so I
had to move lots of them, The chooks by the front gate still have good grass
and seem OK, but there were too many in the other pen. They are laying quite
well considering that it is mid winter. The chooks we bred last year are laying
brown and khaki coloured eggs but the arakanas are having non-laying period, so
no blue eggs.
I am now ready to
start the tiling in the bathroom.
It is rather a daunting task. But I have no further excuses to avoid
starting. I put a third water
proof layer on today so the base levels of mosaic tiles can now go straight
on. Everything is curved so it
will not be possible to lay many just as sheets. I do not want to cut any tiles
ion this area because I do not want any sharp edges.
