Start farm work.
Helped Brad and Rick. Shoveling all afternoon. Clearing dirt from around new trough's ready for plumbing.

Moved 'Herd'. Start 15:40.
After all the contractor's with all the machinery, trucks and utes. Alot of the gates and fences were down.
So had to put all the gates back in place, so that the cows didn't end up walking to Perth or Sydney ha!
It was 38 degrees today. Working in this heat, is near impossible for a townie boy, who is use to rain 24/7 and cool tempertures.

Finished farm work:
IDK when I was so *beep*. Once back at the house, sat down on the seats outside in the shade for what seemed like a long time. Maybe 10/15 min's.

I'm exhausted. I wonder what heat exhaustion is like? Or the early stages.

Brought in 1 load of washing. Hung 1 load out.

Had a good fun chat with Robyn and Ben. Having a big winge about life on the farm.
Everything here makes life difficult or hard in some way!
How good can planning get? When your already exhuasted from the day before. What a struggle? And I havent even been here long.

Tea:
Chicken Snitzel, Pasta and Salad. Very nice! Crisp crucnhy and COLD!!

Pudding:
Cyclone ice block! :-) So GOOD!
