Ewe #333 had twins overnight. However the ram lamb seems to be rejected by his mum – but somehow he’s been licked clean and has had some food, so we shall see.  Meanwhile the ewe lamb’s number is #604E. Whilst out looking at the sheep, and pushing out the other ewes so only those with lambs remained in the One Acre, I found a goose egg – at least that is what I suppose it is. So maybe all our geese are female.

Henare came before going to his orchard work this morning and he rammed home the four main posts on which the relocated railings depend.

Jeff Rencontre came and painted today. Late afternoon Paul came with the last month’s invoice and a contract to sign. Apparently it’s the law that any job over $30,000 needs a contract between builder and client, and we’ve just exceeded the limit.

I heard a loud, ominous crackling from the Lawsoniana trees near the 133 gateway. A while later a sizeable branch crashed down – without harming anyone or anything and not even particularly in the way.

Thinking that our transfer from NOW to AONet for both Internet and landline was complete I called NOW – they recently sent me an invoice for August – and let them know that we’d stopped using their services so maybe they should close our account and nullify the invoice for August. Oh what woe. It turns out that AONet are all over the place with their billing and so I was supposed to continue to pay NOW until further notice. Thanks to my call our account was closed and consequentially our landline was disconnected. We have, we hope temporarily, lost our landline phone number. This number has been the same for 40 years and we are very much hoping we can get it back. We’ll not have a landline for a week or so but that ales into insignificance compared to the loss of our personal phone number.
