It gradually turned into a heavenly day, warm and sunny and a hint of a breeze.

Bangle – orchard – apple

Karola did the shopping today. I got stuck into the fencing project. Karola called in at the Vets and got some drench for lung-worm. Two of the ewes have been having coughing fits and that’s the most likely explanation – or so Kaz told me many years ago. Karola came back with just enough drench for the two sheep and we penned the sheep up and I administered it to #507 and #224. Withholding period for meat for this stuff, Matrix Hi Min 14ml each, is 91 days – it must be potent indeed.

On the fence I got the top and bottom wires up and put a short extra stay post on one of the strainers. I’m so out of practice it took me three goes to get the snug fit required – also almost the first time I’ve used the new chainsaw, and definitely the first time I’ve worn my shocking orange leggings. The fence is all along the eastern edge of the Front paddock, four metres from the boundary fence, enclosing our Australian section of wattles and bottlebrushes as well as willows and five finger etc. However at one place it has to bend slightly to go through a small gap between two enormous eucalypts and that’s where the additional strainers and stay posts come in.
