Ted goes missing
Ted went missing today. Depending on the mode of transport Farmer Fraser is using, Ted is often seen either sitting up front with him in the tractor cab, sitting in the front basket of his motorbike, or sitting in the passenger seat of the ute! Together they feed out, shift the electric fences, and move the…

Expending Energy
We have flies ………….. many flies, and they are a pain in the neck! During summer we get overrun by the little blighters, and then in autumn at some stage they start to crawl back to the dark depths of where they came from – or maybe they regroup for a chinwag and plan next…

Nocturnal ramblings
It’s 3.58am and I’ve been awake since 1.47am. This is not unusual for me ……… I often wake around this time. Tonight I’ve spotted one shooting star and several flashes of lightening way in the distance.

Millies day tramp
Two poached eggs for breakfast should have set me up right for the 5 kilometer ‘walk’ up Mt Thomas, so perhaps it was the two hours sleep I got the night before that saw me struggle to the top. I have my son to thank for getting me to the top without disolving into tears…

The greener grass?
Whilst one day in the big smoke every now and then is fun, four in one week is three too many! Spending half a day with a cheerished friend is well worth the trip – and I’d easily do it again – I just wouldn’t tack on an extra night and day again! Not that…

Helpful Millie ……..
Sigh ………. For some reason Millie has taken to the biggest ‘stick’ she can find in our woodpile and delights in dropping it at our feet (and if you are very unlucky, on our feet) in the hope we will throw it for her to chase after. The problem – well one of the many…
