Things ticking along

Well, spring is almost over, and it was late this year. As from the last blog entry, you can see that we've recently ploughed a paddock over, and we're nearly ready to resow it, just waiting for the seed to arrive. I'm hoping that we'll get it in this weekend, otherwise it will be pushing it too close to the dry season, and the grass won't grow.
Other than that, Steph, Connor and I succumbed to some viral infection a few weeks ago, and that really knocked the stuffing out of us, but we're on the mend now. Steph still has a croaky throat, Connor's nose is still running, and I'm quite phlegmy (yuck!).
Last weekend, I abandoned Steph and headed up to Mum and Dad's place for a hunt, as they have a friend with a rabbit problem, 100 acres and I estimate about 1000 rabbits (and that might be an underestimate). Well after a few hours of spotlighting and a hunt in the morning we culled out about 50 bunnies, and several hours later I had the good meat removed (about 8kg, which went to about 6kg once boned).
We're planning another trip up there in the near future once the rifle is suppressed, and we'll also take the crossbow, should be fun!
