Isaac had Part III at Agri-Business today. We thought we were doing fencing but it turned out to be animal handling again. We had to traipse through poo-filled yards to the paddocks further out in the cold and drizzle to find the sheep first of all, then round them up and herd them back into the poo-and-mud yard, where the boys had to practice drafting, tipping and checking, and drenching again. It was all rather tedious and extremely cold at about 7 degrees (if that). Nearly got squashed by charging fat ewe and had to flick a mud-clod out my hair (hope it was mud, anyway). Altogether not my favourite part of the day. Endured about two hours of that, then we went back to the classroom for the checking of assessments and some general chatting. Had to go home to change my shoes before venturing into the studio...felt considerably more comfortable in that setting :)
Had some major plans for baking prep this evening but I couldn't get the potbelly going - or rather, I got it going but left it too long and the fire burned out and I couldn't relight it (or wouldn't...only had one firelighter left in the box and was scared I might need it for the lounge if that fire died!) So instead, since the cold diningroom was utterly unappealing, I just prepared veggies and diced ham to go into the slow-cooker tomorrow morning for pea and ham soup. Am hoping to do a Bakeathon tomorrow, along with several other things on my TeuxDeux list. My what, you say? Well have a lookie at their website - have just been introduced to this marvellous free web-app which will find a permanent home in my browser!
