Home at the Farm again....

Well I tell you there is no rest for us farmers, we just drove over 500k's to get home to the farm, then no sooner we get home, we have to start the farm work.  Pa made me help out.  First we had to go around the sheep again.  Here I am helping shoo the sheep, the buggers listened too, see em running away when I am doing the shooing?



Pa said I am a good sheep shooer!!

The next bit was the best bit.  Pa let me drive the ute.  Yay..  no no my legs are still not long enough to do the pedals yet.  So Pa did the pedals while I did the steering, Pa said that I am a good steerer.



The picture is a bit blurry cos Daddy said that  Pa has a heavy boot and that made us go pretty fast, I didnt change the gears though, Pa did all that.


After that, we had one last important job to do, we had to check the rain guage to see how much rain we have had and check the crop.  Pa gave me the very important job of guarding the ute, to make sure that Pip the lazy sheep dog didnt jump in the front.  Pa said that she hates being up the back and will take any opportunity to get in the front, so it was my job to make sure she stayed up the back.


Here is Pa checking the crop, with me on guard.  pip the lazy sheep dog didnt get in the front, so I must have done a good job of guarding the ute.


Then it was time to head home again and get ready for bed.  Mummy was a bit upset that I was so dirty, Daddy just laughed and said that I was into everything that I could find.

I hope Pa lets me drive the ute again tomorrow.

Farm work never ends,.... or gets any easier.

Wow, this farm work is hard.  It is not even lunch time and I am poooped, ready for a nap.  It has been a big big day already.  We had to get up with the roosters this morning, yep they have roosters here, roosters must not sleep they are cockadoodledoin way way before the sun comes up, I dunno how Nanna and Pa put up with it all.  Anyways I am getting off track, seems today was the day I had to learn to drive the header.  The header is a very important job on the farm, the header strips the wheat off the plant and puts it into the silo.  Pa can then sell the wheat and do it all again next year.  I dunno about this farming game, Pa said the other day that if he ever won lotto he would just keep farming till it was all gone.  I dont know what that means, but I think it means that Pa would like to win lotto. This morning Daddy took me out to show me what NOT to do when driving the header.  It seems that uncle Cowan (the chief header driver) h...

Flat out here... as usual.

Righto, as usual I have been flat out doing stuff.  For a start I am sick to death of Mummy and Daddy telling me I am getting too big for all my old toys and that they now belong to Prentess. Yep, see, I sure showed them.  I can still fit in them no worries.  I think Daddy was impressed, he did have a silly grin on his face. But that is not the end of this story.  I think that Daddy seen that I was a big girl now.  Well it was that, or he was sick to death of me hogging his computer all the time.  As you know, I am pretty good on the computer. But check this out. Correct again.  Daddy got me my very own computer.  Now I can watch all my programs and not be interrupted by Daddy's silly emails and stuff.  I know it only looks like I am looking at the ABC site, but I am not.  This just pops up when anyone is around to hide what I am actually doing.  I could tell you what I am doing, but it is a bit technical for most people, ...

What we get up to when Mummy is working.

Daddy and me had a great day, he thought it was great because I only shit my pants once.  But I thought it was great for other reasons...  check the photos for the explanations. Daddy took me to the Pub.  Well not really a pub, he called it a bistro, the waitresses there thought I was the cutest thing that they have ever seen.  So I played on that a bit and did my best cute impression, they loved that.  The pretty one asked daddu if I like baby cino.  He had no idea what that was, but he told her that I would like one.  So she went and made me one, I think I got a bit ripped off because it was just some frothy milk with some chocolate on top.  I wanted to give her an earful and tell her to whack some caffine in it, but to keep up the cute act, I pretended to like it.  then I spat it out when she wasnt looking.  She thought I was the best baby she had ever seen.  I was glad to be out of there though, it was a bit hot and I wa...
