Last night as I was working on the dark getting the last of the night chores finished I walked past Tane – he swung his big head up and round opening up a perfect long gash in my jeans. 
See his tusks? They are sharp and filthy. There is a bit of blood but not too much. Poor old Tane did not mean it. No stitches needed – not that I would go near the doctor again here – the one stitch and antibiotics after that bite from Molly cost $480. Denied by insurance.
This little fellow was in my bedroom last night.
The restaurant where I collect the scraps – I was a little late getting there last night.
It is raining again this morning. Now, we are due to till the cover crop in and plant the organic wheat. The cover crop looks great.
I am weary. I have another fast change this morning in the Airbnb then the next guest stays for three weeks. That will make a nice change.
Have a great day.

Celi – hydrogen peroxide and iodine are OK, but not with the ‘bad bugs’ should there be any – have you any Manuka honey from NZ, I am not joking . . . it really works ! In Australia the Government would have paid for both yours and John’s medical care and the antibiotics would have cost $A 6.20 ! Many of us from Down Under do not dare visit the States at this stage even having travel insurance ! I just don’t believe John’s costs . . .
It is the same in New Zealand – if I were ever to get really sick I would just go home. People are bankrupted by illness here a broken hip or even dental treatment. Totally crazy.
I am sorry you have to even think about that option. Truly !! Dental and optical are not really covered here either: I keep my insurance going, however difficult – that pays a hefty part . . . bur, darling C, I know you have lots of lovely antibodies, but do watch it with farmyard bugs . . . . love . .
off topic today’s latest news from your side finally full about the ever deteriorating mental capabilities of . . . . . . . ..
Its been a few days since this last post C, surely do hope you are recovering well from that scratch and only too busy to write…
I bet Tane would be upset if he knew what he had done! Always super photos Celi .. would this be your mobile? 🙂
Yes. I always use the mobile now. Getting lazy
