Katie , I’m impressed by the meals you prepare for the men when working .
No cooking today.

Marina, I’ve been wearing those for years. Well worth the bit extra.
DD taking me to Specialist appointment today for pinched nerve. Still painful.

Meat pie from the freezer with left over veggies from last night.

We are now harvesting the wheat . One of DS DF has come to work with them so DH can transport some of the grain and get other jobs done . Our wake up call 7.15 was on this am ! Truck diver to pick up oats in 15 mins , very pleased as there has been breakdowns at the depo so no trucks for ages , between the firers and this . There is no room to squeeze anything in so let’s hope we get a few days of two trucks. Cold mornings have been welcomed. On a rather amazing note, when we had the fire right near us the other day , DF was up a hill watching the lightning strikes ( let me say this is always done by someone to watch out for firers starting by dry lightening strikes ) oh my gosh it apparently was huge and scary fast intense . Mind you there was lightening in every direction at the time . So they saw it hit and the fire . Sometimes it does make you feel better when others tell you their side and you’re not some inwardly overreacting idiot . But this is a micro issue compared to everyone in the state , I’m very aware of this . When you see the aftermath of an intense fire you know everyone is lucky to be alive . Infact I feel guilty for even saying anything about our micro time .

Craig Silvery novels have been well read by all , have to say before all this I was never a fan of his books but they were good bookclub books .
