[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 296709, member: 7416"] Hi everyone. I'm writing this again, as the first time it disappeared into cyberspace. I'm rather tired, as today was cut up day. Last Friday we slaughtered 3 beasts. So, after shuttling chidlren to various venues it was rolled up sleeves and hard work till school finishing time and beyond. Bagging, and more bagging. Making yummy sausages (gluten free with organic herbs and garlic) and more bagging. Then, off to take dd12 to dancing, and pick up son (left him on the side of the road as he cheeked and defied me) and take No.2 German student to her new host family. We now have enough meat to keep us going till June 2010 (I hope) and the surplus was offloaded (at a reasonable price) to some eager friends who like fresh organic meat. On the weekend I sold 2 beasts to some muslims, who like fresh meat. We chased one recalcitrant beast till we nearly dropped and they nearly got killed when we finally cornered it. Now I have only my cows in waiting and their offspring will be ready to eat once we get back from our overseas trip. tomorrow is a holiday for my students (GS16 and cherub 8) so my daughter gets a day off too, and we are going orienteering in Toowoomba, then Oakey. our Student has a geocache thingy. Has anyone heard of it? it is like a compass, she logs into some club, and gets directions to the cache (lilke treasure) and then we go looking for it in the park or wherever. When she finds it, she marks int he notebook and then on the club/blog on the computer. Anyway, it's fun. We did a couple on the weekend at a local park. So, I'm going to write another post, then go to bed. I have two pots on the stove, rendering the fat for candles and soap and the leftovers go to the dogs... that's my work for the next couple of weeks I think. Have a lovely Tuesday everyone. [/QUOTE]
