Today we have to pack up our little home and take it 150kms up the road to get the air conditioner fixed. The darn thing was working fine, but has decided that blowing air is all it is going to do and I can whistle if I want that air to be cold! This would be all well and good, except it chose the first day of a continuing 40+ heatwave to go on strike! Has been rather uncomfortable for the last week and sleep has been optional which has not improved temperaments. Now that harvest is over, we have time to get it fixed.
We are too far out of town for a call out, so will have to take the van to the workshop. Hoping it is only out of gas and not in need of expensive repair. When it is fixed, we will stay overnight to make sure it is working and then head back to base again tomorrow morning. On the plus side, this means I can go shopping for a few things we need.
In the meantime the Aunt has finished making the four Xmas puddings and at the crack of dawn today amid the barking of dogs and the roar of truck engines, they sent some lambs off to market and towards the end of the week we will have our own mini version of the famous painting as the shearers are coming to shear the rams.
When one job finishes on a farm there is always several more waiting to be done!
