The builder, Richard and his men came back briefly today to concrete around the outside up-lights so we can finish the tiles in these areas.Both Ali and I had rather a frustrating day, we had planned to tile and grout for most of the day, but we ended up getting tangled up with our farming and office work, and didn't actually get to do any work on the tiling at all.
First of all, one of our new calves, Amber somehow ended up with a deep gash on her leg, must have been pushed up against some corrugated iron by Joy or Mark. We knew that bullying could be a problem, but I was keen to try running the calves and adults together. anyway, we have found out the hard way, and poor Amber has paid the price. Our farming neighbour has given us some antiseptic spray for the next few days, and then we will apply some 13+ ultra Manuka factor honey, a proven remedy for this kind of open wound.
We have also taken delivery of 2 new cages for our clucky chooks to live in while they sit on the fertilised eggs we have been collecting over the past couple of weeks. Ali picked up the mothers to be from our friend George, and they will begin sitting on the eggs tomorrow.
