Cows

Yesterday was Friday the thirteenth and you could tell. Firstly, I had to start work early because some bloke was bringing out feed supplement for the cattle we are backgrounding and I had to put a bit of a road in around a couple of dams so that he could get his truck in. Score one staked tyre. Then, on the day I had to feed out twelve tonnes of finishing mix, four tonnes of starter mix and two tonnes of hay, the wind was blowing a gale. Then there was another staked tyre on the ute and to cap it off, at the end of the day I found a snake - bit cow. Bit early for snakes, could be a busy year.

It got better, though, pub again last night. I don't feel good at the moment. Having many beers seemed like a good idea at the time. It was fairly busy, too, with about twenty people stuck out on the verandah. Got a bit embarrassing when the boss' Dad kept telling everybody how good the cattle yards I made are. Especially as I only spent three days finishing them off.

They're civilised people here,but, they gave me the weekend off so I'm going to go for a bit of a ride. If you're lucky I may even take some piccies so that my hordes of adoring fans can see what the area looks like. Don't know where I'm going but a ride is a ride.
