Doing some different things

On Monday, I was heading south for some work, so I took Fridolin for a ride and dropped him off in Otorohanga for the day.  Here he spend most of his time at the Kiwi House, which is a great place to go to see kiwi up close and a huge range of other birds.

Tuesday we had our discussion group meeting on a neighbouring property, and an afternoon session followed by Xmas drinks and pot luck dinner. 

Wednesday Fridolin and I headed to town, for work and Alice's swimming lessons.  We stayed the night at my parents place and checked out the horses.

I then had work meeting in Rotorua, so Fridolin tagged along for the day and did some touristy stuff before joining us for the trip home.

Today we have been drenching and weighing out another pick of lambs to go in 10 days.  With another mob todo, we are at 225, so things are looking good.  We then crutched the dirties before putting them away.

The other kids are home for the weekend this weekend, and tonight we are also hosting a UK Nuffield Scholar. 

There is still plenty to do, and whilst a relaxing weekend would be nice, we have plans for more work - mainly to complete the lamb draft and drenching.
