8th Jan Sun

8th Jan Sunday

08:00 Out of Bed - Didnt wake up once during the night. But tired tried to back to sleep.

Breakie with Robyn + Ben.
Starting to understand the drama's they have been put in.
"I need to help them as much as possible. As they have a never ending shit storm on their hands."

Dishes done ? - Vacumming done 10:10

Mentioned to Robyn + Ben about: (way things are done)
In a panic. Raising Voice. Emergency.
(in my head): - State of Mind
- Getting worked up
 (foregetting things later)
 (never ending brain fatigue)
 (take time 2 chill+relax in the moment)
 (AVPU, etc. simple steps to get things done without all the little hiccups)
I feel things could be done differently. Seems alot like being back at home in Taupo, with parents. Extra drama's for no reason.

Just had a look around the shed with Robyn. She was taking info off, 'Dairy' computer. About calving dates, 8 cows.
'Dairy' name of the shed layout/setup for milking.

Morning Tea:
Ben cracked open the Choc+Peanut cookies. Dam! I choose those at the supermarket, Foster.
Because I thought he would turn his nose up.

Sandwhich's 4 lunch. Ham+Salad.

Computer. Blog. Emails. Facebook.

13:50 - Just noticed big briuse+lump from moving the cabient with Nathan + Jade. lol how clumsy am I?

Gonna have to look after my feet well tomorrow. Cuts from my surf fins still haven't healed. Grrr!
And the plaster's Robyn suggested are pretty silly too! Not long enough for these cuts. I start to see how communication, sight and understanding is so important!

Been outside since lunch!  :-)

Moved herd into 'Diary' yard.

'Dairy' - Milked the herd.
- Learnt how to put on tit sucker thingy.
- 'Red' cow, on antibotics, not for tank supply. But still milked so doesn't dry out.
- 'Blue' cow, injections required
- 'Green' cow, algud. and ok!
- using automatic feed (grain) while milking.
 ('Dairy' has a electronic database of cows. Recording all thier details.
  Including: Last Calving, Last Test, Litres, Fat, Fat%, Prot, Prot%, Term Date.
- I was weary of my arms, hands and fingers around the cows during milking.
 I wanna have everything in working order when, I go back to home 4 uni. I was probably too careful!
 (Ben+Robyn gave me a few tips about speed effieceny around the cows in 'Dairy')
 (feeling rather than looking) (looking = kicked in the face by 1600kg cow. Ouch!)
- House down the 'Dairy' + yard.
- Hay bails on paddick 4 freshly milked herd.
- Ben showed me the spraying, grubbing, and pulling of thistle and wragwort over the farm.
 Plenty of it. In the annoying hard to reach places. Plenty of long grass surronding it too! Ekk! :-(
- Back to the house, covered in cow shit! :-) Great for the skin! ha

Chicken burito's for tea :-) Yum!
