Congratulations mum and dad for being still healthily married after 35 years.
A girl at church invited me up with her to her parents farm at Tamworth. I had an AMAZING time. The drive up on Friday was heart to heart with macdonalds and driving music.
On Saturday I helped her dad and her and her sister with drafting and marking 60 lambs. I really wish I had video of me catching a lamb because it is a new skill, you’ve got to grab them by the leg and really commit when they struggle. I enjoyed riding a quad bike and a motorbike and sitting on the tray of a ute, all dangerous things with no helmet or anything.
The inside dog was a very cute Cavoodle.
2 hours of sheep work was exhausting, so after morning tea and lunch with some interesting visitors we had a 2 hour nap. Then we did some more hooning for fun.
Then we had an amazing home cooked meal. We also visited her gran who is unwell, and I played the piano a bit, and we sang together and our voices matched perfectly, she's got a better voice than me but I blended into it well.
Words can't really describe what a good weekend it was. Relationships, food, experiences, all enriching.
I've got a weekend at home, and I've spent a bit of time after work this week tidying up the garden to make ready for Autumn planting. Cut things back, mowed. I found a couple of baby rockmelons!
I will have to swap the layers on the worm farm to put the castings in the veggie garden, buy some very tall stakes, and get ready to plant peas.
