Joan packed up and drove off mid morning on a clear, cool morning. She TXTed her progress and she was back on home territory mid afternoon. We shall miss her.

Karola and I let the sheep back into the Front paddock so that they have plenty to eat before their appointment with the ram later this month.

We spent the day reading and relaxing; even very pleasant visitors like Joan take their toll.

After dinner, as it was getting dark, I remembered that I intended to re-mow the One Acre before the forecast rain. I got about half re-mown which entails catching the straggly sticks of thistles and blowing into windrows to give as much ground as possible for the rain to cover and the lucerne to regrow. I may be able to do more tomorrow if the scheduled rain is delayed.
