A word of advice: *do not* accidentally wash your expensive LEDLenser head torch with your clothes. You will *fuck* the battery, even after a night of the battery and torch sitting in a tub of rice.
I've ordered a new battery, and I *think* it will work again. TBC.

Farm life content…
Cow teats are not supposed to have two holes. But sometimes, you get one like this.
Also, cows are filthy a lot of the time and you need to clean off their teats before milking them.

That’s an efficient day’s work done. 0400-0930 with the cows at the farm, then home to harvest a fallen tree, stacking the logs in storage, and then splitting a week of firewood and bringing it to the rack by the back door.
It hasn’t rained in a few weeks, so I’m also dropping about 10,000l of water from our header tanks up the hill to the house, but gravity is doing the work there; I just need to watch the gauge and shut the valve when it’s time. -

Cold af at the farm this morning. -1C outside and 2C in the milking shed. I wore my merino+possum hair socks, alpaca hair beanie, and my thermals, so stayed reasonably warm, though with just nitrile gloves for milking, my hands hurt now.
Worth noting that it’s a PITA to do a wee in this many layers. Getting off PPE, track pants, longjohns, and jocks out of the way means you go early rather than when urgent need arises.
