Another strong wind yesterday, from the south-east (or Africa, as we call it). Gusts up to 105 kph.
I spent last night talking to (and paying) Andreas the tractor. He gave me a lot of advice again and agrees with Viki that we feed the clover to the sheep freshly cut during the summer. We should be planting in early April although one of the farmers has already planted his, which sparked a kafeneion debate (a.k.a shouting match).
Viki had a lie in this morning and I got up late (i.e. not before 7 a.m) . Flo ran off. Did the feed for Banna, the sheep, the chickens, the chicks. Flo came home. Fed the pigs, walked Jaco, did some office work for our real business www.simplycreteholidays.co.uk . A fair amount of bookings and enquiries to deal with in addition to the farm.
Everything at the field seems to still be in position this morning. I discovered that turning the pallets on the chicken house upside down reduces their similarity to an aircraft wing.
Still waiting for rain and it is forecast for today. That should kick off the animal feed crop.
7 (!) wildfires in the area yesterday with the wind fanning fires on the parched grass.
Rob from the band Molon Lave called this morning. We haven't got together for about two weeks and its probably my fault. Hoping to pull a rehearsal together next week after Apokreas (Carnival) and Clean Monday.
I understand its snowing in England .......
