This week the weather has been pretty miserable. The has only been one day when there was enough solar energy to charge up the batteries. Everyone sensible has gone north on holiday. Josh is catching up with friends north of Cairns. Al and family are in Darwin and Ollie is off to Greece.
Ti and family have just got back from Qld. They left the cat in their house and I had the job of making sure it had food and water. Last Monday we had horrific winds and a bedroom door blew open. The cat was not meant to have access to the bedrooms but I could not find her anywhere. I had to leave the door open and just hope she was OK. The comforting thing was that next day all the food had been eaten so she had to be somewhere. I never did find her and she did not come out of hiding until her owners came home!
The wind also blew trees down across the road and D’s shed tried to escape the property. We caught it and roped it down even though it was on its side. D is our new tenant and has a bit to learn about winds. He has to move all his stuff here today. His mum, Cher, has been living here and is helping him with the move. She also helps me with farm work for which I am very grateful. She travels round Australia in a converted troop carrier Toyota, a sort of grey nomad life style.
The two goats we ran with the new buck are heavily in kid and I have moved them back with the main herd and given Merlin two younger does. Merlin is a Saanen and I think his kids will be white too, but this might not be right. We must wait and see.
I have planted some snow pea seedlings and have plenty of silver beet, kale and lettuce to eat. WE have even had some asparagus and with Cher’s help the gardens around the ruins are coming back under control. We need the vegies as the shops get ever more expensive
