First Day Back After the Christmas
Break.
It went straight out the window on day
one and last seen disappearing over the horizon.
Despite getting up early as usual to
pump up and water because of the predicted hot day following several
other hot days we never got in front far enough to sit and read.
After the exercise in the pool I was off to work across the river
which took two hours back in time to send Jean over to do her bit
harrowing paddocks which took a couple of hours. In between watering
individual trees that looked limp a Roquefort was commenced. Jean got
back mid afternoon in time to start making some dishes for dinner
(frittata and stuffed Capsicums) and get on with feeding chooks,
cats, dogs and ducks. After starting the pumps a second time so we
could irrigate the vineyard it was back to work to reset the two
irrigation units. Returned by 5.30 to complete the processing of the
Roquefort and finally enjoying a cool drink with some cheeses after 6 pm.
We are stealing ourselves for what we
think is a duck disaster i.e. 4 drakes and 1 duck. Jean is not 100%
certain of the make up but pretty sure. Options are limited. Find a
home for 3 drakes or one duck or find 3 more ducks. The easiest is to
find a foster home for the duck but that is little Waky the one she
nursed back to health. Only good news is that all 5 have worked out
how to climb into their swimming pool. I can see why people love
ducks. They are so interesting to watch.
