Tuesday 30
Town today. Had to go to centre link to sort Dad's pension payment which had been cancelled again. Bank a cheque posted a letter went to Chemist and then lunch went to the mall to pick up glasses and get dog bones and then IGA for groceries. Got home and Darryl Ramsey came over. Ebony came out to stay for the night. 
Wednesday 31
Ebony here today. She went for a ride on the quad and it stopped. We worked out it was a fuel problem. I took the tap out and found a grasshopper leg in the filter. Thought while I was fixing stuff I would look at the old buggy and it went fine so I when out and did some fence repair. Opened up the bull paddock so cattle can get to water easier. Dad when out with Ebony and they found the trough behind the dairy was not working. It was empty. I found a bird bone stuck in the ball tap. Once I cleared it it seemed to work well.
I made roast vegetables and parcels for lunch. Trudy came out about 5 and yarned  and did lunch wash up before she and Ebony headed home. Robyn moved to Katrina's this afternoon ready for appointment in Toowoomba tomorrow. 
Thursday 1
Spent today in the office mostly. I sorted the missing details in tax stuff. Got together the details for the financial planner. In between I wash the sheets and towels and made baked potatoes for lunch. Robyn arrived home about 1pm. Dad and I when for a big drive up the back. Cane back to find the dairy trough had failed and the tank was empty. We put the pump on but not water cane through to the trough. Very annoying and a job for tomorrow. Maybe the pressure of a full tank might fix it. Feeling a but fluey tonight and miserable and wallowing in my childhood dislike for winter.
Friday 2
Waited for the sun to come up on the trough and went down. No change. Pulled the ball tap off and broke the fitting on the trough in the process. No water. When up to the tank and pulled the pipe off the bottom there and no water. Put the hande on the multis through the tap and cleared it. Tank is now full. Put the pipe back on but still no water at the trough. Line is blocked. Dad had an appointment in town and I had arranged to meet the principal at Dalby Christian College. So we did that. Dad's bone density test when well and at the school I found that Jan Marie Hall was head of senior school. I have known Jan since she was a kid and taught with her in Mackay. We got a couple of fitting and came back to lunch at Pips n Cherries and then home to go back to work on the trough. By dark we had it working. Not sure for how long. 
Saturday 3
Spent the morning doing books and getting stuff ready for finiancal planning and the afternoon fixing the ball tap on the trough. Tied it up with wire. Robyn made pumpkin soup for lunch. Still fluey. Dad and I watched a Clarkson Farm.

Week 69 20-27 July CRD57 W3 Europe

Sunday 20 Started the day with a visit to Kelpies on the North East of Falkirk. These huge art installation of two houses heads represent images of the Scottish mythical beast the Kelpie a water creature that looks like a horse. Very impressive. More driving in the beautiful Scottish countryside to our breakfast spot Tinto Hills Tearooms near Thankerton. Here I met a motorcyclist enjoying a ride and a Sunday morning coffee. Really think I need to come back and ride here. Next we visited Hadrain's wall or the ruins of part of it. It was the Romans Defence line across English to keep the Scots out. Originally 4 metres high what we saw was part of the foundations. The view of the English countryside was picturebook idyllic. Next we went to Lockerbie to see and reflect on the event of the Lockerbie bombing where a bombed PanAm jet literally fell out of the sky in 1988. The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
