Day Eleven - Good Friday - 10 April 2020

Up and out early .. well earlier than recent mornings ... to do a roll call to check cattle were all well and with us. We did lose a calf some months ago and not sure what happened to it - maybe a snake bite - but calf no. 1919 is no longer here. Remaining herd all present although they seemed to be somewhat pre-occupied with the hay (which was last year’s, full of clover, and very good quality) and forgot to acknowledge “present” when called! Maybe our teacher friends can empathise.

Janette painted (no photos yet) and John went up to get a load of firewood from the tree over the fence. Lots of mushrooms but a bit wasted here - Janette allergic and there are only so many John can eat. Think we can see a circle starting - will take a pic if this happens after rain.
