Abby's Replacement

I joke, hehe

So yeah. Today...

We had a lazy morning waiting for Catherine to arrive she had gone shopping for food for us before she came out to the farm, after putting all the food away Holly spent the morning with Catherine labelling the bottles of olive oil. I was tasked with spraying the Mango trees with a copper solution to prevent a pest from feasting on the young trees.

After we finished our working day we came back to the house and met the boss's daughter AND her maltese/shitsu dog, Prince. Now Holly was thinking that it would be a cute little white fluffy puppy. But not only was it that it was a spitting image of Abby, smaller of course. It didn't have Abby's personality but it definitely looked like her.

Daryll came back after his time in the groves and over a beer we decided that we would go with him to take a look at his cows to make sure they were all happy as they are calving. So we drove into the sunset and along a few km's of road and off onto this small country lane which turned into an off road track, this tested the 4x4's off roading capabilities. After some time we saw a field full of black cows and as we drove towards them some ran and some walked towards the vehicles. We got out and the cows came to greet us before being terrorised by Daryll's huskies.

We watched the sunset from the field before setting back to the farm, after nearly running into a kangaroo we pulled into the farm and settled down for the evening.

We have tomorrow off along with monday as it's a long week end here. There's a big AFL game happening too which should be a fun watch

Bye for now
