I have that glasses case here at my house! <br /><br />Nothing like that happening here. We did finally get our stuff from Adelaide this weekend though so it's all unpacking boxes and building furniture here. Lovely and all, but a pain at the same time. (See. Never grateful!) We were so excited to have our things again (I have a bed!) but the place is chaotic which I could do without!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-25384698680793043082011-07-19T05:32:21.235+10:002011-07-19T05:32:21.235+10:00A "little" shock?? haha..our electric fe...A "little" shock?? haha..our electric fence will make your hair curl!<br />The "farming plant"?...we have one too, but we calling it an air-seeder. ...and ours is green too.Saskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316697509986535586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-86115362437679395562011-07-18T09:32:57.458+10:002011-07-18T09:32:57.458+10:00great post Chooky, i know to you this stuff is pro...great post Chooky, i know to you this stuff is probably mundane, but to me it is incredibly interesting.....<br /><br />thank you for sharing a bit of you daysGoogy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644297746800909939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-16768325291182363542011-07-18T05:42:15.035+10:002011-07-18T05:42:15.035+10:00Hi anf thank you so much for your wonderful trip a...Hi anf thank you so much for your wonderful trip around with your cows..<br />It is supposed to be summer in Norway but we are still waiting for the heat..<br />I still use my wollen socks realy!!<br />I have just started my summervacation of 4 weeks and it is lovely to have time to do what ever I want to, right!!<br />I have been visiting my mother and I have also stayed 5 days at my father in laws cabin by the sea, lovely..<br />Now I am back home and trying catch up on some housework ;-)<br />Take care and have fun!!annemariesquilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143437163201274884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-85494168165047355942011-07-17T11:03:14.794+10:002011-07-17T11:03:14.794+10:00Great post Chooky.. we have misty nuisance rain he...Great post Chooky.. we have misty nuisance rain here at the moment.. it's not really rain, but it's making the sheep damp for shearing.. hope some decent falls get to you guys soon.

I had hoped that most places were more or less OK this year. We are usually in a rain shadow but have had some rain each day and it is nice to look out at night and see the garden glistening in some new night lights I put in the garden.<br />I grew up on a market garden and we were fortunate to eventually put down a fabulous bore so had a 3 million gallon dam, whatever that might be today, and always able to be topped up. I thought of it with longing over the past decade here as it got to look more and more like a bush desert than a garden. It has been wonderful to see the change in the last couple of year.......so hope your turn for rain comes in time for some good spring growth.ozjanehttp://five-minutes-of-fame.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222786315881803285.post-40739120682836589002011-07-15T20:48:32.881+10:002011-07-15T20:48:32.881+10:00Brilliant post, Chook.

You have great kids being able to cope with that all day....chin up, it'll rain...you can have 22 inches of ours...everything stuffed here. Hoping for it to stop by Sept so we can get in some late barley and get some $$.
