Another cold morning
After breakfast Robyn and Anna headed for Brisbane via Toowoomba. Anna had a flight at 5pm. I did the washing  Matt rang up for the scale brain box. Asked if he could come by with his dogs and put the cattle we got in yesterday in the yards. I rang Micheal from next door and he dropped me over 2 more bails of hay. After spending most of the day marling I went and set up the yards and moved the hay feeder before Matt arrived. He came and with the dogs put cattle in the yards. We would not have been able to do it without him. We drench them. One steer jumped out of the crush but we got them all done before dark. Robyn got back about the same time ad Matt arrived. Got a call from Marie to work in Dalby tomorrow. Agreed to go. Jenni my teaching buddy is in hospital.

Sunday 20 Started the day with a visit to Kelpies on the North East of Falkirk.

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.
