Spent my day off today fiddling around doing the sort of usual domestic things! Geoff and l BOTH have a day off together tomorrow (being Australia Day) which is generally about a twice yearly event! Us having the day off together l mean, not Australia Day!!! So l didn't want it spoilt by vacuuming ,washing and mowing lawns! All that out of the way means we can enjoy a day together! Working l am sure but doing good outside stuff!!!
Talking about enjoying the day.... Pushka LOVES all this hay! Hay =mice=one happy fat cat!
Mice generally mean snakes so l took the time today to install my super dooper snake repellers! Three around the garden should be enough to keep all snakes at bay.....one hopes...........! They are either a very good invention or one of the worlds biggest scams! l can only hope they will do as they say and keep the snakes away from the house! And dogs!
We collected this today too! It was advertised free to take away on a local website. l presumed looking at the photo that it was on a 6 x 4 trailer and thought the metal cage would be good to carry the sheep around in. When it arrived it was massive! We will fit the cows in the back!! It weights a ton so we will take off the crate for the back of the Ute and convert the trailer base into a portable goat shelter for rainy days and pathetic goats! Not bad for free !!
As the rest of Australia swelters, Geoff and l donned coats this evening and headed off with the dogs and goats to see how much water  was still in the creek. Quite enough luckily. l think we should be right for the rest of the summer
We then headed round the top paddocks and decided to move the sheep feeders up to the water troughs to try to get the sheep to venture a bit further away from the house to eat the grass!!! It seemed to work and they all followed Geoff faithfully hoping to get a few sheep pellets at the end of it!!!
 We also decided that little Poppy REALLY is a tiny little cow!!! That's Omar the ram next to her and there's not much difference!!!
Came back on twilight and revelled in the stunning light and glorious red sky
 A lovely day and a perfect evening....
