Outside

We have been given a cow (a Jersey bull, about 9 months old) from Brian B; he had little fed left. It disappeared on the wedding day, and Janet found it up the road chatting with the neighbours cattle. They took him back, and he now appears quite happy. Just before Christmas we made a shelter (approx 5.5 x 2.5 m) for it from H4 pine logs and second hand jarrah. We ran out of time, and so the blue trap was used until the weather is kinder to put galvanised sheets on the roof and walls.

More of the outside has been painted. We decided to paint the area above and below the windows the same colour as the roof, gutters and downpipes - minimalist. The gable still has to be completed - it's rather high!
