5.30am

.......this morning, with the morning milking in full swing.

I haven't milked for about 8 days, and in those 8 days it is amazing how the mornings are drawing in. This morning I had to have my torch to walk up to the shed, whereas the past month it has been light enough to walk to the cowshed without a torch.

The sun shone today. I spent a couple of hours spraying weeds, and got sunburnt on the back of my neck. Tomorrow is going to be very wet. Hopefully the cold doesn't arrive with the rain.
