No power for most of the day today after last night's storm. We got most of the cows in there was 10-15 head that would not come down really annoying. We drafted out 5 heifers and 12 cull cows but all have calves. Laura and Mave came to visit this morning lovely visit. Mave was sweet and on best behaviour for there 2 hr catchup. Peg came about 4.30 and she and Robyn went on to Wendy's. Peg has an appointment at 8.30 tomorrow. Paul who had helped us all day went home about 5.30pm. Went to bed early after disturbed night last night.

Dalby CC relief. Robyn got home from Toowoomba about 3pm. Bill and Judy had already arrived. I got home about 4.30pm. After a cuppa and a yarn Robyn Judy and I went a fixed the fence around the trough above the dairy. Then we put the culls cows on the hill above that trough. 7 calves went out with them. 
Saturday 29
All geared up to do things today and I started off with heavy cloud and by 10am it was storming. We got 26mm. It was lunch before I got out and chase a cow and calf back in to middle back paddock. Dad had spotted them out yesterday. Think it was the same one that had a go at Paul on Thursday. Watched some supercars and about 4pm headed out to try an sort new trough over on Jimbour Creek. Bigger job than I had hoped will have to finish it off tomorrow. Brought the plough back ready to plough improved pasture paddocks. Good day yarning with Bill and Judy anyway.

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 ...
