Yo Afternoon Dazzla
Hope you are fighting hard and blowing minds on another
sucsessful week!!!
35 Cows left to calve, YAY over the worst of it
and our calves look great and the cows are picking up well
Bring on a bit more sun shine, a farmer could always do with
more grass Hey!!!
We have had the hell earth works going on outside the frontof the house here so awesome, you wont recognise the place. Allen built us a mean footpath/race track around the house for the boys to keep them out of the mud, sooooo good , they are super stoked, even enough area to pass – sweet…
We miss you around the place heaps, can’t wait for you and your
old man to come up for some far north relaxing treatment
take care and keep climbing
You are an achiever so keep achieving
much love and respect

Congratulations! I started reading this, playing catch up as I am in Italy for 3 weeks and I realised I couldn’t read through the last 2 or 3 entries in an internet cafe, as you have done so bloody well in the time I haven’t been reading. I copy and pasted and took all your milestones back to the apartment to read alone and I am stunned, and then immediately not surprised. ‘It’s Darryl, of course he’s going to be achieving at this level.’

Congratulations on getting to spend time with your heroes, although it seems like you might have become someone they measure themselves by. All the very best to you all over there and I’m so very very happy as I write this to the guy who is breaking all kinds of records with regards to recovering.

All the very best,
Di

Wow that is just awesome!

I have read your diary Mike from the beginning. You are amazing and I am in awe of your committment to see Darryl through this.

Darryl, you are amazing yourself, you are fighting the fight and each milestone a win. You have reached so many hundreds and probably thousands of NZr’s who are just in awe of your courage and determination. They, like me, read about you on here in our homes not ever knowing you before but wanting to know about you now.

I don’t come on here out of curiosity, I come here because I care. I feel sad sometimes, I laugh when it’s funny and I cry when, like Saturday, it is just so dammed amazing. It is like being invited into a loving circle of care, compassion, determination and inspiration. If it helps us to walk out that door and share some of that to those around us, that truly is “inspiration”

You have restored my faith in The All Blacks !!!!
It is always so inspirational to follow your fantastic progress Darryl.

Not often do you get clarity on what is truly important in life. Usually those times are so full of grief that the pain will smother the experience. I feel very selfish sometimes reading these updates because you give me that gift each and every time. I thank you, it is precious. You are precious.

Hi Darryl
So glad you made the game on saturday.All the men were really impressed.
The men have Browns lease up and running again.Power in the fences and the trees pulled away.Dosed the weaner heifers at browns and will watch and see how they respect the fences over the next few days.
We have started to cull the ewe hoggets this week,bringing in a couple of paddocks at a time and drafting them without them getting off the concrete.It might be a bit slower but it sure saves trying to push them through those muddy outer yards.
The ewes are really starting to show,it will only be another couple of weeks before they start to lamb.
Still getting a fair amount of rain up here so i will be glad when its starts to dry out.
Keep taking long strides.
Regards Kathleen,Max,Deane,Lewis,Latimer, and Sandy.
