Splitting Wednesday's shift seems to have made the bad middle of the week stretch over into Tuesday and Thursday as well.
Big hay wagon still sitting in the arena, I don't think we'll get to it until Thursday at the earliest.
Flax still waiting to be put in water. Cold rainy weather makes it seem pointless, since warm sunny time is needed to accelerate the retting process. But I'd like to get that part done before winter sets in for real, so the retted stalks can dry out over the winter and be completely dry in preparation for hackling and scutching.
Heat pump still on the fritz, waiting for a replacement relay board. Cold enough tonight to need the woodstove for comfort. Rain continues, but is supposed to finally end tomorrow afternoon. Maybe.
OK, back to a spot closer to the stove. It's chilly in here.
