Since my last travel diaries, a few weeks ago now, I've been very busy but it doesn't feel like I've got much to say. That's one of the things about the outback and rural work, you're constantly busy doing all range of things but when you looks back its hard to remember what you've done and it sometimes feels like you've not done a lot but you always have.
Jack and I are still out enjoying outback life and all that has to offer. We've been doing a fair bit more cattle work in the past week which is something we both really enjoy doing. It's always a knackering and dirty day when you spend it on the four wheelers and in the cattle yards but it's often fun, if sometimes stressful and you always feel like you've done a good days work. We've also been doing general farm maintenance as well as always which despite what I'd have though doesn't get tedious, or at least hasn't yet.
We celebrated Jack's birthday here last week. He turned 21 so it was a big one but spent quietly which suited him perfectly. He build a BBQ, got his favourite cake made for him and ate steak and drank beer so he says he had a really good day which I'm happy about.
He said he didn't want anything for his birthday which some of you may know is the most annoying thing to hear. However, we're going up to Cairns next Friday so hopefully I'll be able to get him a good present then. Something he'll treasure. So I suppose Cairns is the next exciting piece of news.
We'll be chasing the warm, sunny weather up there next Friday for a week. We've got lots planned and lots we want to do but there will be a blog posts about it all so I won't spoil it now. I'm definitely looking forward to the sun and the sea for a few days. After that back to the farm for a little while to help with the big yearly muster and weening.
And after that, well that's anybody's guess.
Until next time

P.S. Jack's dad and a group of his friends are cycling from The Royal Oak/'pink pub' in North Bersted, a local village, to Paris. They're doing it on bikes they bought for £25 or less and for the Snowdrop Trust which is a great charity. If you want to know more or want to sponsor them just based on that, which you should cause it's a great charity and they're doing a great thing, visit their just giving page and sponsor generously. Thank you :)
