SHEEP POO ANYONE!!!!!

Our 7am saturday start day dawned cold with light drizzle falling (in town that is)....It was the sheep Poo shovelling Day at "Connerville "out the other side of Cressy.....we decided we would still go and support the Young men and young women of our church...they had joined forces with the Young Town Rotary Club to shovel and bag sheep poo as the Rotarian's sell it to raise money to fund all sort of projects in the community.... the closer we got to our destination (which was 45 kilometers from town) it brightened up ...no rain ...but even colder...the frost was really thick in the paddocks...

You can see it all white on the grass in the pic below...

we arrived in convoy and piled out of our warm vehicles to stuff hands into pockets and pull on hats and gloves ...let go guys!!!!...first the boys had a play in the frozen puddles...the ice was thick enough to walk on

the sheds...well one of the two huge areas we shovelled under.... even as short as i am i had to bend over and the back killed after a bit ...those poor 6 foot tall fellas must have felt it...(or maybe they didnt ...not old bones like me)

see how deep it was...and surprisingly it was warm under there ...mmm wonder why????

and yes you did get used to the smell... the poo was dry and didnt really smell stinky.... i think it really only smells terrible when it is fresh and wet...

Bagging up.... 600 bags in 3 hours not bad hey????...oh sorry 599 someone burst one..drrrr

loading up .... for the trip back to town



by then the pools had melted...the BBQ was fired up and cooking (just sausges not lamb chops..he he!!!!)...what a great morning even if we were shovelling sheep poo...we were in great company....and doing great service ...i think we should keep it as an ongoing project ....what do you think...

OHHH DO YOU NEED SOME FOR YOUR GARDEN ...HUGE BAGS FOR $5 a bag... available from "Tint a Car" down in Cimitere Street.... near Gunns.....you will see it from the street all stacked up in the back of the premises.....huge plastic bags...best stuff for your garden...
