Plod Adventures No. 25

I am still on the sheep farm at Cunnumulla and the shearing has started. The men were busy getting the shearers quarters ready. Although the shearers were at the farm only a few months a go the dust and dirt had built up, especially in the showers and toilets where all those little green frogs get to, blocking up the drains with there jobs. Still the frogs help to keep down the insects.

Saturday March 8th We went to the big night of the year, Cunnumulla Ball. It was a nice evening unfortunately a lot of my photos were a bit on the blurred side. The bar at the Ball did
not have any red wine so I walked across the road and went in to the pub and brought a glass of the red. I was not allowed to take in the glass, so the door man went and got me one of those
horrible plastic ones for me. I notice the wine was dripping out of the bottom of the glass , so a kind man, Paul quickly fetched his wife's one. Apparently the bar at the Ball sold red wine by the bottle so I ended up buying a bottle of red, a small communication problem.



Sunday March 9th A pig had to be shot as the pig was into everything like damaging the plane and even opening the cold room door. He was a lovely pig just a bit lonely and wanted a little bit of company.

All the shearing has finished now so it is time to relax a little. They have shorn 3,400 lambs and 69 sheep.



I took a trip in to Cunnumulla to see some people I met at the Ball as I am able to use their computer. I will most properly stay at Cunnumulla until April 5 when I will slowly make my way back to Windsor to Richard's place where I am going to keep Plod.
