Zach came to get the spray rig and take it back. I helped him load it and Robyn and Dad headed off in the van. Dad is going to Jenny Lee's for the week. I was about 30mins behind them. I dropped Nala at Maddie's on the way through and arrived at Jenny Lee and Bruce's about 7.30. Monday 22 We left Bundy about 8am. Dropped motorcycle tyres in Rocky to a gu who needs them to ride to motoGP. Good to yarn with him. We had lunch fueled in Yamba and arrived in Mackay about 5pm. Great to see Anna.

Sunday 14 Preached at Cooranga North followed by linch at Pips n Cherries. Quiet and relaxing day. Robyn was not well and went to bed really early. Shut the gate from hill to the other place to keep cattle that had come down on the front. Submitted my EdQld application and emailed Dalby Christian College to let them know about I was interested in relief.  Monday 15 Cold night. Moved cattle that had come off the hill to the west side of the farm. Cut the tree off the top shed and with the tractor moved it and the apple tree pile from the road to the bonfire pile. Set up a Gmail account for Dad and moved mygov to it.  Tuesday 16 Town today. Went to specsavers to get new reading glasses. Going to get distance one too. At home I went out to check cattle. There was some in the cultivation behind the dairy put them out then I went up the back and there was a fee in the gully on the way up the spring. Managed to get them into the mill so I think that is the last of them. Headed to th...

  Sunday 30 No Church today as it is a 5th Sunday. Dad had been invited to a lunch arranged by Joy Shields an Old teaching friend of Mum's. It was at the Wombat Café in Jandowae. WE arrived at the perscribed time 12pm and there was about 6 other people waiting outside.  No sign of Joy. After 30minutes I went in to check if they had heard from Joy. They had not and said that she had booked for 27 people. Turns out the most of the other guest had come passed Joy's place in Dalby. They reported that at 11.30 she was still in her dressing gown. By 1pm all were there and the show was on the road. She had a bloke from Bell come and do some bush poetry. He did a poem about diary farming called "Pulling Tits" very good. Dinner was roast pork and cheese cake for desert. Very nice. I was very impressed with the patience of the owner and staff.  We came home to a peaceful Sunday afternoon.  The Predicted rain did not show until much latter that night. Decided to go to Ben and N...
