After saying I should post more often I find it's a month since I last wrote.
But we haven't been slack, au contraire. We've had our share of ups and downs. PZ was crook for some time, first hurting her back unloading a trailer full of bricks, then she had the most horrendous toothache which lasted nearly two weeks. She's over it. We had a HelpXer here, Spiderman Dave, from the UK. Closest thing I'll ever have that resembles a slave. He couldn't sit still, and when finished one job, he would just make up something else to do. I mean, who ever heard of mowing then raking the paddocks? We made arrangements to sell Angus the angus steer, and so Spiderman dug in and built us a stock loading ramp. Looks like some sort of weird tree planting exercise but I'm sure it'll get Angus onto the transport. We started on the barn (house) extension at last, only six months late, but at least we've started. Pulled off the corro wall sheeting and, so far, we've got the posts and a few beams in place. Last Thursday I picked up a new Wessex Saddleback barrow(boar) that we will mate with our two gilts. Spiderman Dave also took to the shovel and filled in much of the driveway that was destroyed during the rains. We're in the process of setting up another caravan for HelpXers because we have had an influx of enquiries and it would be nice to get a crew of people working on our projects. enough for now theres shit to be done
