22 hours...

I have been awake for 22 hours and we leave in just over an hours time, so I may as well stay awake till then...I'm not sure I will be much company though, as I will more than likely fall asleep within minutes of hitting the highway.

Anyone who has ever farmed anything, will know that it isn't easy to get away...not unless you have a manager or staff that are competent enough to take over when you are not there.  Sadly we are not in that position and even though we have brought Wilfred up here to help out, he does not know how to mix up the birds food.  With the horses etc. I have no qualms about his capabilities, but when it comes to the birds, not so much.  It has taken me 6 hours to prepare 3 days food...and now I'm tired. lol  It's all packaged up, labelled and refrigerated ready for Wilfred to take out and use.  He has a list, for each of the 3 days...because each day is different.  Complicated it may sound, and to those who don't do it every day, it probably is, but for us who know the routines, it definitely isn't.

So we are all packed and ready to leave, and I must say I am darn excited.  I pray the road won't be busy, and that we have a safe journey....55 minutes.....
