Mon, 5th Nov, 2018 Pastoral Station, 60km north of Sandstone, WA



7am 17 degrees, cold breeze and clear sky. What happened to summer – getting colder not hotter.

Steve went detecting as Lance didn’t have any chores he needed doing. He is sorting out the truck as they heading to Perth tomorrow to pick up hay and grain and see family etc.

Kayla and I did school – the teacher said it is raining in Geraldton. Got through a lot of work as Kayla with miss days going to Perth this week. Had fun doing the science experiment of ‘erupting lemons’.

Lovely cool breezy day. 1am 28 degrees.

I finished ‘ripping’ my cds and sorting out which songs I want etc.

No joy for Steve but he is determined he will find some gold.

After cuppa Steve ground some grain for the horses and chooks. One girl is clucky and has been sitting on her eggs yesterday and today so Lance moved her into a big cage. She had her egg and had collected 3 of the bigger chooks eggs who was also laying her eggs in the same spot. There is a naughty chook that has been eating the eggs – I caught her at it but didn’t realise in time to catch her but I couldn’t say which brown chook it was. Will keep an eye out as she will have to go. Clucky chook will sit on her eggs now for 21 days.

The sunflowers are out and the nectarines are growing well. Joy also has mangoes and everything is growing well.






The wind is cold this afternoon so I had to close the windows in the van. We had taken the blanket off the bed as it had been so warm but now I will have to dig it out again!!
