Got to love it when someone's had the paintbrush out making wispy clouds.

It annoys me to no end that even Dad said the teachers told them there was something odd about me. And he doesn't even think autism is a thing.
And recognizing neurodivergence helps bring context and understanding to navigating life. I'll probably never have a formal diagnosis but the number of memes, videos and other bits I've been sent by friends and family over the last 5 years "this is so you!" is telling 😂.
Learning you're neurodivergent doesn't make life easier... but it does help you target your strategies so they're actually effective.

The more you know... 💡🌈

Got super lucky in the genetic dice rolls. Two slick gene Holsteins for my heat tolerance project.

And suddenly it's very wet. Flat country floods easily, about 50mm, most of which hammered down in an hour yesterday arvo.

The other half gets a bit worried when I go through this gate. The tyre roller doesn't fit though.

39C yesterday, 30C overnight, under 20C now. I think I've got whiplash.

At least the ryegrass is going to be happy, the paspalum shuts down at a sniff of cool weather.

"I was concerned it may have been sick or injured, and made a snap judgement to pick up the joey and see if this was the case. I ran, not to rip the joey away from its mother, but from fear she might attack me."

No you fucking weren't, just looking for more views.

Now this is an article I never thought I'd see for Australia

We have 4 cats. We had one at our share farm dairy for a while & the mouse population around the feeders was gone fast

Unfortunately the cats not there now & rats chewed through the cable for the electric motor a few months later

The only upside of the dust is cool photos using the sunlight in the mornings and evenings.

I take little videos of things for non farming friends just to show it's not that hard to drive "big" machinery.

The 4440 and seeder is medium at best, but certainly big for this farm set up.

The corners in the smaller night paddocks are tight, the main irrigation channel causes triangles.

One of the best parts about running around at all times is the cracking photos I get around the farm.
