The day started well with speedy correction of the plug fitting up at the pump shed (see below) – it all looks quite neat and tidy now.

After lunch I disassembled the flying fox – the wire and the connectors – and unbolted the platform. I expect I’ll pull out the post later with the tractor.

Then I browsed the photos taken last year by Tim Whittaker and sent him an e-mail saying what I’d like. Basically it’s just multiples of the two photos Karola has seen – one of the family, including Chris, on the homestead verandah, and one of just me and Karola. This pair for Mary, Anna, and Bridget, us, and for the Polish family – Witek and Hanka – share.

Jenny and Noel came bringing a roast chicken and vegetables and we had a pleasant meal round the cottage dining room table. Noel is very good natured in putting up with my argumentitiveness – Jenny was knitting a very small shawl for a doll all the while.

Old Ewe With Energetic Lambs

The grass is long and green – ready for 12 more ewes shortly. There’s still water in the ha-ha, and under the big oak, and there are still shallow pools in the Middle paddock. The gateways: Island to Totara, Totara to One Acre, and One Acre to Orchard paddock are horrid pools of liquid mud. Hope it dries out quickly.
