A quiet winter 
Sarah hasn't got the results for her maths yet, but she got 80% for psychology. Once she gets past the maths, she can finally get on with chemistry again. Meanwhile, Rach has decided against doing her Masters thesis because they are trying to steer her into studies that have already been covered. But she's really keen to get onto an Emergency Medical Technician course, which is the first step towards becoming a paramedic. It'll be several months down south, but she'll get paid for it. There's several hundred applying for 26 places though, so we'll just have to wait and see.

One of our chickens went missing. It was probably over 8 years old, and we just assumed that it had quietly died somewhere. We searched around but couldn't see it. It was missing for about four weeks, and then just turned up last week as if nothing had happened. It's probably laid some eggs somewhere and was quietly sitting on them, and eventually gave up. Pity, we haven't seen any eggs for a while either.

While chaos reigns around the world, it's been relatively peaceful here. No sign of a frost yet, although we did have some localised flooding. The grass is still long, and getting longer. Two more tennis balls missing. The plan is to section off the paddock so that the cows don't eat it all at once. It's not the flattest of paddocks, so we'll need some careful fencing. And we still have the cow that destroyed a five barred gate and an eight inch fence post. Plus now another section of fence, and probably two since we found her out on the road this week. We're planning to buy some young calves to boost the herd. And probably sell one too.
