We are very relieved, we have got the first paddock of hay bales stacked in the shed without too much stress. It was cut and baled on Thursday and we got enough help to cart it from Healesville to our shed. I drove the ute to pick up the first load and Indi drove for the last one which included the hay she needed for her horses. Edd, Graeme and his helper managed the rest with some very welcome help from my friends son and back pack worker.
On Friday the temperature soared into the high 40’s. None of us could have worked hay in that heat so we were very glad the job was done. The plants suffered but as the temperature cooled next day most survived. The big, and very unexpected loss was the cat. He was fine in the morning, but he staggered down to the house in the evening, collapsed and then died. There was no time to even think about getting him to a vet. We can only assume that he must have been bitten by a snake.
