Yesterday we brought back the television from town so this morning we set it up with the dvd player in the study - mainly thinking of when John returns from hospital. The box also plays vhs and converts them to dvd so whilst it’s a bit old hat it has been handy converting family holiday movies, Christmas celebrations etc to dvd. We might watch a few of these if it stays wet. Trouble with Christmas film is that they are all much the same - kids are just taller.

Heard a cow calling out persistently and went to see what was up. Calf was in neighbour’s paddock and there were two fences between mum and calf. Milk running on the ground from mum -we think they had been apart for about 24 hours. Tried to bring the calf home but had to get help. With the help of neighbour, Kevin, mum and calf were reunited in front of the house and both appreciated the good feed taken by the calf.

Took Molly for a walk - so much water everywhere she just had a drink in the grass. The trees newly planted in the wetland area may have drowned - normally the water drains away. Still, you never know ....

Eye is terrific. One fantastic eye and one poor one can be tricky. A great tip in this situation - pop out the lens for the good eye in your glasses. When wearing your “glass” everything then is much the same. Thanks for the tip Trish - it is working a treat.Okumaya devam et
