We took the meat tray out to the farm on Saturday and Himself's aunt cooked us a lovely roast lamb lunch out of it. Very nice. Himself replaced a broken door catch and I tidied a couple of cupboards in return. Then on Sunday we went out to the farm again and Himself downloaded music onto a stick for his aunt to use in her new car. In the middle of that he was called out to the shed to do a spot of welding on the air seeder. It is crop sowing time so the air seeder takes priority. While he was gone I continued the music download.
Monday we had lunch at the club with the aunts grandson and his partner and dinner at a local hotel with the aunt and uncle who had been to Parkes to the eye specialist.
Tuesday we went out to the farm again and Himself and I took the farm work ute and a chain saw and headed off into the paddocks to get fire wood for the old folk. It is bitterly cold in the mornings and their wood heap was very very low. If there is time we will get a bit more for them but at least now they have enough until the grandson finishes sowing the crops and can organise some more if needed.
While we were fetching the wood Himself was called out again, this time to something not working on the air seeder a couple of paddocks away. He was able to fix that much to their relief and then it was back to the chain saw! Quite a busy day.
The aunt wanted us to stay for dinner but she is not real well, she has a nasty cold, and I am not happy returning to town in the dark because of the kangaroos. So off we went, four kilometres later just as we came off the dirt road onto the bitumen, we hit a kangaroo! No damage to us but I think the roo probably has a serious headache!
Today is a down day. It will give the aunt and uncle a chance to rest up with their colds and we can do a few bits of our own.
