• One more calf - two to go.

    September 8, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Nice surprise this morning when we saw a new calf.
    Kevin Ryan came and fitted the new callipers on the trusted old Hilux. We then jacked up the left hand side. When we took the wheel off we saw that the brake disc was very badly scored. So, a phone call to Repco to confirm they had one in stock. Janette and I were going into town after lunch, so we organised to pick it up. Looks like Kevin's back again tomorrow.
    Finished off the gateway in time to have lunch, shower and head into town.
    The reason we were heading to town was my GP appointment at 3.30pm. He took a biopsy from my scalp from something he didn't like the look of. He also took a barnacle from my back. I'm booked in next Tuesday to get the results.
    We have to remind ourselves to don our masks when we go to town. The family need to wear them at Mt Buller also. We called in to the local furniture store to order some comfortable chairs. With all our aches and pains we have struggled to find something comfortable, good for backs, and that we like. Fingers crossed they will look ok in situ - we should have them by the end of the month.
    While I was in the docs, Janette went to buy more calf milk. As we're now feeding two calves, we will use a lot of milk powder.
    Speaking of calves, Omen is now known as Minnie, as in Skinny Minnie. She's still a little hesitant to come to the bottle but is getting better. We let mum in with her overnight.
    We received an email from one of 'our' hunters to which he attached some photos taken earlier this year. They show views over the Tatong Valley.
