Took a ride around the cattle and the fences around them this morning and all was well. Filled the mouse baits. The only near empty one was in the garden shed. That is after 4 days. Kingaroy to shop brought new sandshoes and got a wiring harness to put the spot lights on the ute. Dad found the missing wheel for the disc harrows. It tyre was scheeded found another one in Chris' stuff. Will need new wheel nuts and bolts. Will take an existing one out of the otherside to get the right size.

Relief in Jandowae today. Got a call from bike people to say the cam chain needs replacing. He has found one but it maybe a couple of days getting done. Value clearance was fine and compression was fine too.
Stopped in to see Lester on my way home. When I got home I pulled a wheel nut and stud off disc harrows and checked water. Turns out the tap to the other place was on. Had a long conversation with Troy tonight.
Thursday 7
Relief in Dalby CC today. Great to see the students and teachers there again. After school I had quite a long yarn with Jan Maree. Went to Butters on the way home and got replacement wheel bolts and nuts for disc harrows. Rang Bernii on the way home to encourage her in the relationship with Dalby. Rang Lindy too as I remembered we were meant to catchup. We agreed to reconnect when I got home which resulted in a 2 hour phone call. She had lots of stories about the drama at school. I was encouraged that the people I love are finding safe and valued places to go. Recieved a text from Chari concerned about things and asking us to pray. Next week will be interesting. 
Friday 8
Did the books up to the end of September. Need to do October tomorrow. Went to Dalby to take Dad to the doctor. Lunch at Pips n Cherries then home to fit spotlights to ute. Fill top tank today and then turned the pump back on to the tank above the dairy. Had a chat to Matt tonight. Word is through from MCC that the pastoral care team has resigned. Rang Barclie and had a yarn with him. 
Saturday 9 
Started the day washing and bringing the books to the end of October. Took some time to reflect  on next year's plans and while it will not be cruisey we think it is doable. Went to the other place and checked fences around the paddock against the neighbours silage pit and opened the fence where we will eventually build a gate. Storms came in the afternoon. Lots of thunder and lighting about we got a sharp storm with a bit of hail and 20mm of rain. Had the dry the washing. Took wheel off the old ute ready to take to Mackay.

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 ...
