Well, we have started to slow down a bit. A friend looked after the shop on Saturday and Tim and I and a friend went over to Dargaville to the field days. Saw lots of farm machinery, quite a bit of which we would like, watched sheep racing and I bet on the winning sheep, ate fudge, got sun burnt, then went off to Bayley's Beach and had a little picnic, drove along the beach to Glink's Gully, while the tide was coming in. In short we had fun - something that has been in short supply for quite a while. We have decided to close on Sundays, so started doing a bit of gardening. Tim was cutting back an extremely rampant rose and managed to get himself stung by a wasp, so off to town, got antihistamines, for me, as I am extremely allergic to bees and wasps, gave the car a wash and came home. Totally blobbed the rest of the day.
Found out about some Corriedale sheep not more than 1 k from our gate, which of course has ramped up my interest in spinning even more. Trying to win a spinning wheel on TradeMe. Not having much joy, but I won't give up - yet.
