Its been a busy time but Im thankful to have the farm as its my downtime. I feel completely at peace there
The farm is 170 miles from our city house (which is 27 miles from the centre of Melbourne - so outskirts) Im not a busy city person
We wont need a pass but it could be touch n go as to whether they allow us through - we have a rate notice in the car so we can prove we own the property but they are checking drivers licences - and that lists our city address as its our primary address for now. There is a clause that we can go there to give care to our livestock. The girls are pregnant so Im fussy about keeping up lots of food as they work hard to grow their big bubbas. We should have 5 new calves delivered between November and December - all being well

Update: my hairdresser's son tested positive. He's feeling a lot better and will be cleared to go out after 7/12 if he's symptom free. My hairdresser got tested today. Should be a week before that comes back what with our recent slowing in test results. Even if she's negative, I think I'll wait a good bit before going back to give it all time to die off in the heat of her garage where she has her station! So self-color it is...
We got our county numbers for the day. 26 deaths and another 1292 cases. Insanity.

I know! Granted size wise we're tiny (948 sq miles, you could fit 5 orange counties in LA county), but population wise, we're bigger than 21 other states. So it's a lot to manage and we're packed in like sardines. In the north end of the county is where the biggest outbreaks are. Lots of multigenerational and multi family living (like 20+ people to a tiny house sleeping in shifts) and many work in hourly essential worker jobs, so they can't stay home. It's a bad situation. And then there's the undocumented people who fear the government and don't have health care. Recipe for disaster.
