    Thanks everyone for your kind words & thoughts - what a great place to be right here on the forum.

    So first - Ashley/Ashlee Jaide/Jade/Jayde - they are the right ones i am told - went in tonight and saw the little critter - bald, beautiful and healthy, (just like granddad) but only 6kg. Anyway i am told she is going home Tuesday so photos will have to wait but i can assure you it did happen, i saw the result with my own eyes.

    The farm - i have taken a few photos so click on the All Albums thingy at the top of the page and have a look

    Moving in and having a turnfest might be ambitious in the sheds provided but a barbeque/bonfire and trim of some of the "diseased" trees would be more likely.

    The house well it probably classes as a residence to get around the 100 acre rule (for you uneducated interstaters/non mexicans - in Victoria you cant get a building permit on "country" land under 100 acres) but in reality it cant get lower as the floor is on the ground, which looks very uneven, and the roof appears to wanting to get there as well. Although there does not appear to be white ants or rot in the structural parts so maybe something can be done with it, time will tell.

    What am i going to do well - for a bloke who last week was 52 years old with about $5,000 in the bank renting a house to this week being the owner of a peice of realestate valued at over 1 million i am doing the best thing i know how, thats right going back to drive the truck. Ballarat - Koroit - Melbourne and then probably up to Keiwa - might see you tomorrow night Jefferson.

    Ooroo
    regards

    Black Cattle 72 cows & calves, 4 Bulls, 21 yearling Heifers,

    and a dog ("TRY" - originally because of black/tan/white but usually because of trying on the patience or try hard) which was a present from me when i stopped managing the farm beside him years ago - Hadnt thought of that i got my own dog back - does that make me an indian giver

    Cheers

    Congtats Grandpa. 6kg (a biggen').

    Looks like you were his only true mate and he did what he thought a true mate deserves.

    I think you're going to miss him.

    I got it wrong again lb or pound for the poms among us.

    That is 6 lb sounds a bit gentler on the mother.
