Hi Lovelies,
Yesterday we travelled to the beautiful area of Tooma where
we are spending a week on the property of Patanga.
The property is owned by a lovely family and we are here to help out where we can.
The property is mainly goats,
chickens, geese and 3
dogs.
Currently Andrew (dad), is away working so we are helping
Jaime (mum) and Amelia (daughter) where we can.
The farm is beautiful, and the area is so lovely and green.
It has been quite an experience so far.
We arrived yesterday afternoon and began helping to rewire one
of the electric fences. It is pretty
tough work, with having to attach the porcelain insulators (ceramic cotton reel
thingies) to star pickets.
We were more than a little tired and slept very well.

This morning I was up early and had a wander around to check
out the animals. It was so quiet and
peaceful.
It was then off to work.
My job for the morning was cleaning out the foot bath up the
race, including the force and the crush.
Do I sound like I knew what I was doing 😊.
Basically I used a gurney to clean a concrete area and a rubber mat area
where tomorrow we will run the goats through a foot bath.
These two smarty-pants laughed at us most of the time.
It was then time for lunch and we enjoyed the pie we had
picked up yesterday with a little bit of salad.
After lunch Robbie went back outside to help with the fencing
again
while I stayed inside and helped in the house. Much more my speed.

The outside workers got the fence finished, and then we got
the evening chores done.
Robbie and I tried to get Blaze to round up the chickens, it
was a little funny. We confused the poor
puppy so much.
It was a big day for all of us and we have some pretty sore muscles. I think we will again sleep pretty well
tonight.
All for now lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Love us.
