Right - time for a sit.rep. 1) Workers still on strike. 2) Maid still off sick. 3) Mother (cow) has come to her senses and is standing still for her calf to suckle - he is starting to do well, even skipping on unsteady legs around the paddock. Big relief. 4) Two animals did not come back from the fields on Monday night. Always a huge worry. Tuesday morning one was found in a snare, released and returned home relatively unharmed, of the other one, no trace. Weds. 3 men went out looking for the missing animal and by 5.30, still no trace. One of the men then found the animal, also in a snare, deep in some bush. Released him, and he returned home, very thirsty and very hungry after 2 nights and nearly 2 days in a snare. I am glad to report that he has recovered his aplomb and is back to his cheeky self. No matter how many sweeps we do for snares, they are simply replaced. Please feel very sorry for anybody I find setting snares. 5) The geese have so far survived in their "hok" and are wandering around honking, clearly still distressed about the loss of their eggs. 6) Life in the rural lane.....................................!
