A few reports of a large meteor last night @9:50pm. Wow, I managed to capture it, very bright! Watch for the deep red burn off at end . Looks north-west of Shepparton

Our Twinkles has only had 3 very chubby, gorgeous girl pups! They’re so chunky that Elizabeth wants to keep 2 of them for the next generation of guardians.

While on the topic of new dogs, what on earth is it with tight-wallet buyers nowadays?! We advertised gorgeous new dachshund pups recently. One of the lowest prices in Vic. But many still keep asking for large discounts, despite us often bringing the price down.

Then suddenly, it’s ’oh can you deliver?’ For free ?! Like, a 5hr return trip. So our hours are worth less than theirs? Their wear and tear on vehicles on our crap Victorian (regional) roads is more than hours?

Then there’s the classic ‘but we are paying cash’ , like we hadn’t priced the dogs considering the ‘convenience’ ‘advantages’ of cash?!

Oh and my favourite one ‘he will be going to a very loving home’.

So we are meant to discount our own very loved animals, because we had assumed we were selling to the standard animal neglector?! Like, we should actually pay the amazing buyer as a reward for their (promised) worlds best care of our apparently starving and unloved animals?!

It’s actually the opposite. Any buyers here know they are very lucky that we decide you might be good enough for our animals, who are having a ball here already and we really, really angst over whether YOU are good enough for our beloved animals.

End of RANT. Have a lovely week everyone, enjoy our glorious winter.

Macchiato the ram lamb off to meet his new brother! He bonded with our geese as he was in their field early on

Wally, A.K.A. Cappuccino, now has a brother! We delivered a very healthy ‘Macchiato’ to the same buyers as last time, they’ll make a great pair. Talk about transport in luxury. If they buy another, simon will insist on him being named Ristretto!

And a fun visit/shop at Bunnings on the way 😂😂 . That might have been a first for them.

You can tell Liz loves her little lambs, sometimes it’s hard to let them go. Always easier when you know they’re going to a loving home.

Quite a lot of young cuties in our herd this year! Far too many males though, which can be a sign of upcoming drought possibly.

Such a pleasure delivering our little Wally to his brand new loving home! They’ve renamed him Cappuccino, which is perfect for his colouring and actually, for his bubbly, frothy nature! Might start a trend, we could use the Caffeine theme for our next group of young ‘uns. Like ‘Lungo’ , ‘Macchi’ or my fave coffee, ‘Affogato’ 😂

A gorgeous day out too, the weather being clear but cooler. Bring on Autumn I say.

Full width version of the Short I just uploaded, with a much wider field of view.A very welcome incoming thunderstorm, after an extremely hot and dry Jan-Feb...

Boy it’s been hot and dry here, such a contrast to our pleasant Spring. Oh well, it is Oz and we are over the dividing range! Oh and with aircon and no fires, you can never complain!

And it looks like we finally have some cloud cover, lovely formations this evening.

Excuse the Peugeot in our orchard/goose and duck area, looking after it while our Son is jetting off to Vietnam and elsewhere, ah the life!

Made the trip to Longwood, Depot Rd Corner, amazing to see the volunteers collecting items and sorting, then handing out as needed. We donated a couple of full jerrycans of fuel, and a heap of Liz’s well sourced prepping items that should do well in some folks’ tummies!

What little we saw of the fires looked daunting and confronting, and even the undamaged pastures were bare and worn, the heat has damaged so much
