A very cold day!

Well I got up with good intentions to plant trees.... but it just didn't happen. I ended up clearing out the portacabin, checking shelves and the freezer I think we still got a good months worth of supplys, good thing really as cold is coming back maybe we will end up with snow. At least one good thing about these freezing temperatures, the boggy land is freezing solid so should be able to drive on it with the digger and not have to call for Jim to pull us out with his 4x4 tractor again.
Joe got froze through to the bone. He spent the day stripping the engine of the Kia seddona further. He found that we need 2 bearings on some pullys and 2 complete. They broke when he tried to extract them. Guy, Amandas husband (my friends) came over to borrow a cage for a puppy nest for tonight. They went to an animal sactuary and got a collie pup. Oh well not every day can be full of adventures or confrontations... will see what tomorrow brings.
