So Allan put up the electric tape across the paddock and let the cows in. It took them about a day to get past the tape. So we just let them stay. Now we have a paddock of much less grass, covered in mud and holes.

I found a tennis ball! It happened to be sitting in one of the holes, covered in mud but still circular. There's about three more out there somewhere; I guess some distant archaeologist may marvel at the ancient artifact, and ponder its ceremonial burial.

We've acquired some geese. They probably came from a neighbour up on the hill, and five of them flew over and landed in our paddock. OK, three in the paddock, one in the driveway and one in a paddock on the other side. The one in the driveway eventually worked out how to cross the fence, but the fifth goose must have got fed up honking, and presumably flew back home. So we now have four geese in the paddock, and the sheep are attempting to make friends with them.

Sarah somehow passed the maths! So chemistry is back on. So are the trips fighting through the traffic to get her to the bus stop. Got held up last week by a festival of traffic cones; each one placed by hand by someone clinging to the side of a truck. Took 25 minutes to crawl along behind. In the end, we gave up on the bus stop and I decided it was faster to take her to the university direct!
