Hi Darryl
We have just had a really sunny day to-day,most of the ewes have finished lambing and some of the early born lambs are getting a bit of size now so they will be quite heavy at docking time.
Lewis,Sandy and Latimer have finished refencing the holding paddocks around the woolshed.It all looks very smart,they have done a very good job.
The cull ewe hoggets went off to the works last week,Stu Desmond transported them to Hawkes Bay.
Deane and I weaned the autumn born calves last week and then gave them a drench and a 5in1 vaccine.
The rams have been dagged and will be shorn early next week.
With the way the lambs are growing we will most probably start docking next week also.
The road workers have left for the time being as they are waiting for the sides to settle before they come back and seal in late October.
Kathleen is still catching the odd good snapper.
Keep taking long strides and before i forget, Happy Birthday from the crew at Paua.
Regards Kathleen,Max,Deane,Lewis,Latimer and Sandy.

My favourite Sunday evening thing to do these days, here in Belgium, is to wander in and catch up on your news. You guys continue to stagger me … more than stagger me with your goals, achievements, courage and strength. Stagger, move and delight me actually.

Very best wishes for the week ahead!

I keep saying it, but that’s just awesome news, so pleased to hear you had such a great birthday and a fantastic weekend with the ABs so richly deserved.
The progress with your right arm however, is the best news, well done for working so hard.
Mike the ironies of the weekend must feel tough at times, but your ability to put them in a safe place in order to use all opportunities to set goals and challenges for Darryl is amazing.
Who knows how your journey is affecting and inspiring people you will probably never know or meet – safe to say you had a few of them cheering you on through that tunnel.
Well done, have a great week.
Kia Kaha
