Our Seat Inca is a 1.9 diesel. I forgot to mention that yesterday. Our fuel budget will certainly appreciate this fact because in Ireland, diesel is less expensive than petrol/gasoline.

Also regarding yesterday . . . . Safari Man was off property at the Plowing Championships all day and when I told him this morning about my camel exploits, he did not laugh. On the contrary he was quite upset, telling me that I was very lucky to have all my body parts still intact. Apparently camels can be quite dangerous when they revert back to the wild, which these had done many moon ago, after retiring from the circus to the farm safari. A huge error in judgment was made by his employee, and I was warned never to go in their pasture again. Whew, was I lucky, and I don‘t think it had anything to do with my good animal sense.

In preparation for this weekend’s activities, Kevin and I painted the inside of the trailer which will hold our media exhibit.

This photo is of the first coat being applied. It would take three coats to cover the entire surface thoroughly.

After lunch we attended to some yard work around our house. It was sunny and windy and the long grass was somewhat drier than in the morning, so Kevin mowed while I played in the hothouse.
We’ll be up with the birds tomorrow morning so we called it a day around 6:30 pm, fed the animals and had an early dinner. Have I mentioned that it doesn't get dark until 8:30 pm? The days are long.

Poultry day tomorrow, sponsored by the ISPCA - Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty against Animals.
