Wouter was busy working today (Saturday) so we went for a walk down to the woolshed to visit him. Since both buggies have flat tires (must remember to buy a pump when I go into town) Melinda went in the backpack and the boys walked. It actually went surprisingly well. Probably helped by the fact we were going to 'see Papa' and there is nowhere for them to bolt too and no cars etc either on the road.
Wouter was busy penning up (filling the shed and pens continuously so the men dagging can just reach in an grab a sheep, also drags the sheep out for the men so they don't have to go in and out of the pens) so we started to fill up the press with the wool. The boys enjoy this as they get hoisted in (it's as tall as me) and they get to jump on the wool to press it down. It's a surprisingly good workout.
So that was us for the morning. We trundled back home through the paddocks as I wanted to keep it exciting for the boys. I didn't count on the mud though, so we were all needing a new set of clothes when get got home. However ... the house is now quiet and i'm off to attack my knitting project.
