Moved 'Herd'. From P#10. Start 15:40.
Dam cheeky! Jersy cows, one in particular being sneeky and turning around from flow of herd. When my back was turned. Repeatedly.
Herd in 'Dairy' yard 16:10/15 ish.
Assited movement within 'Dairy'.

Many discussions between Ben and I, about a thistle plant. In P#4, after I have riden past it many times today.
I think we have a mystery thistle, or just a lack of decent communication and looking properly.
Possibly for both, for both parties.

Re-position temporary hay bail fence. From P#4 to P#3.
Ben: No help wanted on 'Dairy'

Finished Farm work 17:00.

Almost fell asleep writing draft blog. A few times :-) lol. 17:15 - 17:27.
I'm exhausted.
Ouch! Just removed x4 plasters from feet! (Both heels, blisters + x2 surf fins cuts)

Brought in 1 load of washing. Hung 1 load out. It was really windy today. Clothes dried quickly, and the wind like pulling my hat off my head.

"Ummm"! What's for tea tonight? "Where's Robyn"??? "I'm hungry" hehe. 19:07

Pork Chops + Vege + Rice. Soya sauce, seasame seed veges. Yellow fried rice.
