Hiya mates, its been a while since I’ve let you know whats happening down on the farm so here goes, June 10th update. We have come to a standstill in the sowing department, rained last weekend so its pretty wet right now. So this week we really didn’t do any work, just a little bit of puttering around on the yard cleaning stuff and really not doing much productive. But at least I got to watch playoff hockey so that was great. I went on skype on monday to wish my mum a happy 50th birthday, I would have liked to be there but it just wasn’t to be. I have spent a lot of time watching tv this week since we didn’t have much to do and went over our internet data limit for the month again and therefore had super slow connection. Pete left this week to go on his honeymoon, three months after his wedding, to Thailand. So while I’m about to get back on the tractor and go hard, he is kicked back on the beach with a beer. Oh well, im two weeks away from doing some traveling myself! And on friday it was my birthday which is not a big deal but I had a really nice time celebrating in town. On friday we went for a drive in the LandCruiser to see how the livestock was doing. That involved doing some bush driving and well, we got bogged trying to cross the worrumbool. So then John, Richard, Ella (Richards daughter) and I got to make the 5km walk back to the house. It was a nice walk lol. I got to do a little bit of pig shooting the other day, chased it down with a quad and shot this boar on the run, good times! Later that day some guys that hunt pigs professionally came down and in six hours had shot 22 wild pigs, but there are a lot more that need to be taken down. they are very destructive animals and can wipe out acres of crops in a very short time. 
So thats whats been going on here lately!
