Went to netball (twice) - stopped raining. Eric got all excited and summoned me to the front paddock. He pointed, beamed and said 'there', looking like he'd done all the work himself! Two newborn lambs. It always special when the first one or 2 arrive. These ones were obviously Tua's, they both had black socks on!
Raked leaves and tried to burn wet rubbish (yes I know- why?)-rained.
Watch a video, Sea Biscuit, (why did it have a 16 rating? I was quite happy with my 10 and 11 year olds watching it! A bit slow to get going but in the end a lovely story, which being horse orientated, Alice adored). Watched rugby - the less said the better. Good match though despite the result. Did you manage to stay awke all through the second half Bridget?
Woke up in the night - raining. Woke up Sun morning - raining.
Stopped raining for a few hours. Fed cows/pigs/chooks/dogs. Rowed (as in a verbal altercation, not a trip in a boat - are they both spekt the same?) with Eric (we always end up rowing when we feed out together!). Threatened to rain but didn't. Made up over egg and bacon sarnies. Cleared the old, small veg plot of strawberry plants and replanted all 45 of them to the proper veg plot (where last summers mealie was). Rained.
Spent the rest of the day indoors - raining hard. It has been very warm for the time of year though. 18 degrees C a few days ago.
Now (8pm). Raining very hard. And some lightening. Eric and Alice very worried about Dusty who is outside somewhere. Alice, who is running a high temperature and has been sent to bed early, keeps getting up and, hugging Dog, comes in looking very concerned saying 'I'm worried about Dusty'. Bless her! And Eric? He keeps going out into the carport, shaking the catfood box, and calling her. But of course he doesn't like cats!!! He won't venture past the carport, he might get wet!
Now off to bed with a good book, an audiotape (a Morse)... oh and Eric of course!
