Tuesday 10
Bell today a relief day. The person doing the other half of my contract does not appear to be showing up. Dad was not well so Robyn went to Kingaroy on her own shopped and came home for lunch. We checked the cattle and Boxers steer had come through so set things so it might come into the yard paddock. Two other were in the Bull paddock but an attempt to bring them through quickly resulted in them going through two fences and up the back. Found a cow and a calf in the front hill paddock. If they are the only ones we might open gate to paddock behind the mill. Had a Healthy Churches team meeting this evening. Looked at the church life cycle model. 
Wednesday 11
Bell. Normal day getting close to the end. One more normal day then sport carnival. Felt like I have arrived at something to assess. After school went to Yarraman to pick up Explorer 2. Valves were good but filter was ordinary and battery failed while it was there. So oil change. Diff oil chance new air filter new battery. Fuel taps fitted. $1100 happy with that. Got home about 6. Robyn went to ladies event at the Cooranga North hall. 
Thursday 12
Dalby CC today. A number of people sick at present so I had a big day with 2 duties and all lessons. Cold too. 0 when I got on the bike. Anna rode down today. It was cool all the way for her about 14 from beginning to end. Opened the gate to back hill paddock and opened the gate from front hill paddock to paddock behind the other place mill. There seems to be only a cow and calf in front hill paddock so hoping they move to the better feed.  paddock.Robyn went to the dentist today she is out of dental health care so cost $800. Hope that saves the problem for a while. Going back again for a clean. 
Friday 13
DalbyCC today. Anna came in in the ute. She, Dad and Robyn had lunch at Pips n Cherries. I rode the bike on through the frost. Another cool morning. Shut gate between Other place and front hill. Cow and calf seemed to have moved as hoped. Ben and Nay arrived about 9pm nice to have all our Australian family here. 
Saturday 14
Kids up early. Good frost. Probably biggest one yet but no ice on the trough. We brought the weaners in and put them out to the piggery paddock and Green Grove. There is a tree over the fence in the back corner of Green Grove we will need to fix early next week. On average the weaner grew 8kg.

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 ...
