An overcast morning here. Light rains have been falling. More rains predicted… it’s floods or drought here in QLD.
Ive mentioned, complained, winged, and tied about the rains this calendar year. Part of my valley is still too wet to work. I was down by the pond last week and got stuck with the 4×4 buggy. The water-table is simply too high. The drains still have standing water in them. And we’re now in the transition from the wet season to the wetter season.
Some good news… only 5months late, we have achieved electrical upgrade here on the farm…


500kVA is huge. I’m surprised they have a pole-mounted unit so big.
Originally scheduled for May, we put the applications in 12 months ago, received approvals in February. Originally we had hoped to have the power sorted and the new facility built about the same time… boy did I get that way, way wrong!
As well, this past week…
Dont look like much but we’ve broken-dirt on the new build site.

Progress is guud…
As this day matures the temps are dropping and the weather is turning decidedly wintery. I wrap tighter in my granny-blanket. Contemplate closing a few windows. Watch the blood sports on the tube… a very nice morning to hunker down.
Life is guuud…
More later
So just to clarify, I’m getting the hint that you are trying to tell us that it’s been
wet?
