Even more stock, and even more rain

On Thursday I was supposed to have laser eye surgery, but upon getting to the hospital and seeing the specialist, he decided that it wasn’t entirely necessary, but offered to do it anyway; when he went through the pro’s and con’s (and one of the con’s was there was a chance of complete blindness in my right eye). Upon coming around from fainting, we decided it wasn’t worth it!
This morning though my eye was still quite sore from when they were looking at it so I did a half dad of work from home, and then went to the sales to pick up some sheep, there were quite a few pens of good lambs, and also several pens of light lambs (which is what we wanted), when it came around to a pen of 23 light lambs, I started bidding at $20, and I bought the 23 for $30/head. Then it was a quick trip down to Margo’s to pick up the horse float, and then back to the yards to collect them. Unfortunately since horse floats aren’t designed for carring sheep, I had to load the lambs in one by one.
After getting covered in sheep sh*t I headed home and unloaded them into the top paddock where they will live for a week, and then proceeded to clean the horse float and take it back to Margos. Just as I was leaving Littlebush, a whopping big thunder storm was developing above our place, and by the time I got back the intersection had flooded and one of the paddocks was underwater! Ah, within an hour it had all gone
