Hot Spots from the Chookpen

Next door, bar one, the property on the corner,one of the horses dropped a foal about a month ago. She is quite gorgeous and today she actually came up and let me pat her.

Yes , it's hot but surprisingly bearable in the chookpen.Has been well into the 30's for quite a while now but that's better than the well below minus they're suffering in Canada and I guess in Holland it will be pretty cold now too.Sleeping has been no problem as nights have been very cool, mostly under 20 degrees.
Today we had a very pleasant lunch in the Jarrahdale General store. Jarrahdale being a pretty little country town near here . It used to be a timbertown but I guess now a tree change town.Lovely food and very quick service, with prices very reasonable.We dropped Pop back to the chookpen and the rest of us headed for Armadale to the movies where we saw the very delightful"Bedtime Stories " and had a refreshing drink at the "Dome". There was quite a large fire and it was a little close to the property of Karen's friend Tash. Problem was they were away on holidays so Rick was prepared to move the animals but it must have been OK because a call never arrived, thank goodness. They are a dreadful threat here , particularly in summer.
