I researched tractor prices – for the MF35 I hope to sell and for new sub-compact tractors to replace it. Karola did the food shopping in Hastings.

The Landrover was expected to go to Tamatea Motors this morning but Heath Goldfinch said he was “full on” this week so could we get it brought in early next week. We changed the towing date to Tuesday morning.

Paul Libby called and said that digging the trench to the new shed was scheduled for next Wednesday, and the electrician was primed to attend too so all it needs is for my security installer to be notified. On that front I have discussed the job we need done for the new shed – alarm sensors and ethernet cabling – and the quote has gone from $1400 to $800. I note that their hourly fee has gone up to $75/hr since they did the conversion of the existing alarm systems to use the Internet in July.

No more lambs seen today but we’ve seen the feral black-and-white cat several times, over by the homestead garage.

Jeff Rencontre was here painting the new shed all day.

Karola and I began moving the old railings from the cottage across to the new shed to a new position aligned with the north-western corner of the new shed.
