Yesterday evening, I had been reading some mails with problems I must solve and at 3 a.m. my brain decided I should deal with them instead of sleeping. Ok, I woke up, wrote emails and hoped that I would be allowed to sleep again.
That reminds me on the phrase “no worries” that folks use in so many situations where I am surprised, but I think it is a fundamental problem of understanding or attitude:
Why should I NOT worry?! There eis always something around, claiming to be worth worrying about and I can do that! Until my mid-thirties I was better at worrying in the evening and often couldn’t fall asleep, now it has changed to early-morning-worrying which fits well to some restlessness and moral concerns about laziness.
Hugh went to work early, Dimity and the kids left later and I had a plan for the day, too. But at 9, there was a power cut. First, I thought it was too much that dishwasher and washing machine were working at the same time, but then I saw what else could run at the same time, like air conditioning and also found out that the fuse was in. It was not easy to send a SMS to Dimity, because I had to find a spot in the garden with reception (and it was not always the same spot). Dimity then remembered that it had been an announced cut off for today between 9 and 15:00.
So, worked on the PC (without internet) until the battery gave up and then switched on a light and lay down. I was sleeping a bit when around 14:20 the light turned on and everything recovered. I even had internet on the PC after that.
When everybody was at home, Dimity on a motorcycle and Hugh with me in a buggy went out to look for the sheep. They have two herds, one also with rams and they explained me some details about the balance between grassland and sheep. It is obvious that you can have too many sheep for a land, but when there are not enough sheep, the grass gets too long and becomes useless straw. When you have not enough grass for your herds, you must sell some before winter comes, but depending on other farmers who also sell sheep, prices can vary from 150-180 AUD or so.
this tool tells about humidity in the ground, you can guess if there will be enough grass for the ship you’d better sell some 
Hugh drove to the nearby hill with me and on the way checked the watering placed. Then I was again invited for dinner and after that, we made another family Bürgschafts-recording.
