The straw has been delivered. 5500 kilos. It needs to be manhandled under roof.
So, no cycling today but hauling bales.
Already done some in the cool of the morning.
First though I need to clean out a stable and the chicken shed so I can cart the loose stuff on the floor of the straw stock in.
The muck from the chickens I cart to the veggy plot, adding up to several kilometers with a loaded cart.
Put on sturdy trousers and shirt to limit the straw getting under my skin. Those trousers were bought fitting 9 months ago. Now they literally drop on the floor! VeryVERY motivating that!!
Will be hard at work till about 11.30 when the sun heats it up too much.
Then a shower, espresso and ... swimming. That will be a great loosening up of the stressed muscles.
Oh, need to ring the plumber. There is a water leak at the back of the far wall. Will be on the roof in the afternoon.
I am sure the two sizes smaller trousers will be too large pretty soon too.
