We arrived on Tuesday just after lunch and the place was deserted. Pop had just come back from running errands in town, Nana was sick and everyone else was out at the yards drafting cattle. That said we did get greeted by the cute puppy dog and her new lamb friend. We set up in our normal spot and pottered for the afternoon. Eventually I headed over to shower then got tied up by the tongue chatting with Aggie for ages {Justin had to come looking for me, he thought I was having a rather long shower}.
Wednesday it was school work time for the smalls & I while J headed out to the yards with Blair to see what was happening. There was cattle to move, cattle to load and a heap of others things. I did some baking then helped Aggie with the extra guests that she had for lunch. Then it was time to start getting dinner ready for the heap of people coming/staying/arriving/eating that night. What a day, I was well and truly buggered as was the rest of the family, we didn't even start dinner until just before 8pm.
Thursday was mustering and J headed out early. We decided that we would meet them at the yards for lunch, well they hadn't arrived so we went looking for them. Kyla and I got into the bull buggy {think big bars, no doors, no windows} to head back to the yards to load another lot of cattle. Watching/helping load the cattle was a great experience and I am glad that I got a chance to do it. I really do know now where the term 'Stubborn Cow' comes from because they certainly don't follow instructions/the leader or do as you really wish they would.
All too soon it was time to leave and head off to Cheela Plains to do some work {damn not having a money tree somewhere to draw on} and see some other wonders on our travels.
