shearing

Woke up at 3:50am.  Molks our shearer was dreaming and talking and got up and opened the patio door.  Couldn't get back to sleep and had to get up at 5am to start work at 6.  Long, long day.  The fleeces are all big, luckily we have a good rousie and the fleeces are landing  on the table well making it easier for cleaning.  Shore through to 5:30.  Shore an extra half hour because the shearers need to be away on Sunday. A good tally of 514.
Shaun got a good tally before breakfast.  Molks who is the shearing gang boss suggested he should take mum and dad around with him to give him inspiration every day as he normally has a pretty poor tally in the two hour spell before breakfast.
