Day started with high drama. Kate has lost her phone. Fell out of her pocket and someone picked it up. She can see were it is. She called the police and they have not had the time to go look. Clearly she is distressed and so am I. We went to church in Bell then lunch at Pips n Cherries. Home for an afternoon nap. Watch cricket till 4pm.a day night match and Aussie are in control over England. Robyn and I went and fitted the post hole digger to the tractor to find the ram that lifts it up and down does not work. Watched Australia win the 2nd test in Brisbane on Day4. Micheal and his Dad have been going hard today preping country to plant. Hoping for a storm tonight.

After lunch we went to Peg's to finish tank and collect my wallet. We returned the hay rack too. Spent the end of the day cutting up dog bones.

Took rubbish to the dump and then went and saw Glen Man Arts teacher at Bell. Then we went to town, ordered Christmas hams, lunch and home. Had a visit to Coppards as well. Filled tank at the otherplace. Need to pump to the mill tomorrow as one tank there is nearly empty. Robyn and I replaced some of the Christmas lights at the gate so they all work now. 
Wednesday 10
Serviced the quad bikes. New oil, filter and spark plugs. Put the spray tank on the red one with the gun rack and straitened the racks and frame on the one I rolled. Christmas sign for the church came so we went up and put it up and dropped in to see Brendan and Leanne O'Brien. Pumped water to the mill tank just over half full. 
Thursday 11
Robyn went to town for a hair cut. I worked on accounts and sermon. Changed the oil in the generator. Went over to see Alan and make a plan about Christmas Eve service. Rode the 500 around the wing farm to get there. 
Friday 12
Up at 3am to drive to Rocky to meet Anna and collect Murphy. Got home about 4.30pm pretty tried and a bit sick from eating travel food. Robyn a quite day at home and went to a working Bee in the afternoon at the manse.

Found another 2 old cows and the last of the heifers. We put them out with the other cull cows. Filled the spray unit on the back of the quad and sprayed the mill paddock and the stromonia in the top of dam paddock. The evening was taken up with Tom Curtain show. A great night out.

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.

The site were three houses were destroyed and 11 people on the ground killed is now a reflective garden. The momentum ...
