Day 208 of 2024

Sometimes you get up first thing to feed your calves and you discover there is no hot water at the shed.

So you walk back and forth from the house to the calf shed with buckets of (not) hot (enough) water to warm up the calves' milk. Barely adequate.

The electrician fixed the burnt out switch, etc, etc, but the water hadn't heated up enough to warm the milk for the afternoon feeding. (We like it approx 86 degrees Celsius.)

So the afternoon job is to get a fire going near the calf shed.

We dug up the hangi stones to help hold the heat, and had plenty of hot water for the calves.

See you tomorrow,
