Monday 4th August
Bill wanted me to go with him this morning to Beaudesert. There is a stock sale there every Monday and Bill takes his tomatoes there to sell. After this sale, he will be out of tomatoes so it will be the last one for awhile.
I would like to go and have a look at Beaudesert. We passed through there on our last visit to Dawnaes place. It was quite awhile ago now. When I heard he was getting up and 4-30 am, I lost interest and decided to stay here.
Dawnae had a prior engagement – Every Monday she play crockay. I decided to stay here, so I was alone for quite a bit of the day. Dawnae left at 8-30 am and before she left, I went with her to the gate and gave her a hand to let some cows out of a holding pen.
Then, I was by myself. I did my washing and when it was done, I put it out to dry. It was quite warm and sunny, so I took a walk to the creek when I had been with Bill yesterday. The dog, Keira came with me. Before I left, I closed and locked the gate that leads into the house area, so that the cows could not get in.
I spent about an hour there. I did not see any water there yesterday. There could have been some but I am not sure.
Today, I noticed water about 100 meters away. I walked along, and from there on, the were sections of water and some of it was flowing along. There was no sign of water in the other direction. Bill told me it goes underground from here on.
I lay don for awhile on the grass. Everything was dry. The dog was fossicking about and she came over and nudged me to get up.
I stayed there for awhile and then went to go back. I could not find the dog anywhere. I whistled out and called but there was no trace.
I was a bit worried she might have got lost but I thought that it was very unlikely.
I opened the gate to get to the house area and there was still no trace of her. As I went into the house, she came out to meet me.
Bill arrived back at about 3 pm. It had been a successful trip and he had sold the last of his tomatoes.
Dawnae arrived back at about 3-30 pm. I brought in the washing and most of it was dry, but some of the heavier items were damp.
It was not long before it was time for a drink or two and tv. At about 7-30 pm, we had our dinner. I think Dawnae said it was lasagna or something like that. It was very nice and I think mince, with bits added and covered with melted cheese.
Whatever it was, it was extremely nice and I enjoyed it.
They really have a good life style. I am amazed how much equipment is needed to farm a property like this.
It was Saturday, that a new calf was born. Bill has decided to sell the cow and calf and at about 5 pm, he was waiting for an interested buyer.
The buyer arrived a little late, after phoning first to apologise for not being on time.
The animals were sold, and Bill is going to deliver them to their new home tomorrow.
The destination is out Boonah way – about 25k.
