7am
27 degrees, blue sky and puffy white clouds and nice breeze.
Found
a little bat in our pool – poor thing.
Headed
off on our bore run. All good at most of the water points. No cattle about at
any of them.
The
trough had overflowed again at Holding Paddock – not helping in filling up the
tank again. Steve found some feathers caught in the float seat – hopefully just
the remainder of the last finch, not another one. Plenty of cattle hanging
around here. Found some pipe to use on St Patrick’s windmill shaft so took that
back to cut up.
Home
for lunch then we headed back to St Patrick’s to replace the t-piece and pipe on
the windmill shaft. Fiddly job as you have to tie up the blades – luckily the
wind isn’t blowing at the moment. Then he had to disconnect the pipe and
unscrew the old t-piece which with the calcium in the water was stuck fast but
he managed with some brute strength to get it apart. Got it back together and
released the blades. A gust of wind came through and it worked well – yeah.
The
dingo/wild dog is here again wandering around.
We found out why there was water on the ground around the trough, he had
climbed in and was cooling off – he did look cute, should have brought my
camera. It was 41 degrees after all. He must have been a Leonora dog as he is
not afraid of us at all and just kept his distance. There was another dead roo
inside the busted water tank and it pongs. Another newly killed one and another
rotting one near the water trough. I pulled the newer one further away – only the
end of the tail was eaten. The other was too rotten to move so the place is
really stinking now. Shame he is killing the roos but we can’t do anything
about him so will just let Rob know.
Back
home for a cool off in the pool, still 41 degrees. Put the air conditioner on
for the van and had our cuppa inside in the cool as the flies are still very
annoying.
Did
my grocery order ready for our trip to Kal on Friday. Need to look into tyres
and batteries too.
The
cattle have moved under the trees near the yard and settled in for a quiet
afternoon too.
Dark
clouds have moved over and Steve saw a couple of drops of rain fall – boy we
could do with some rain.
Saw
a few flashes of lightning in the south even though the sky is now full of
stars.
