farmdoc's blog post number 136

Today I’m updating you on some August Farmdoc’s Blog posts. The numbers in square brackets are the August dates of the original posts. [1] Sweetheart Vivienne is with me in Mole Creek. Ah, bliss. [2] The eerie silence from the Muslim world continues. [4] The grass is starting to grow, so hopefully no more stock losses this season. [5] I still work slightly more than I want to. [6] The has-been ex-footballer went quiet after the Tasmanian Government minister attempted suicide. [8] As expected, my MP Dick Adams remains yesterday’s man. [10] I’ve made more great loaves using the new method. [11] I still love potatoes prepared any which way. [12] No more rake handle breaks. [13] Nothing further’s occurred regarding the Iranian Olympian. Shame. [14] No further news on Kennett’s Lord Mayoral bid (if any). [24] Darling Meg is now fine after the dog attack. [26] Gunns shares are suspended from trading, and the pulp mill proposal seems moribund but not yet stone dead. [27] I finished Duma Key last Saturday. [28] The complaint against me is being considered further at next Friday’s Medical Council of Tasmania’s meeting. [30] Dr Mendelsohn’s Commission hearing ended last Wednesday when his barrister realised he knew one of the Commission’s sitting members. It recommenced 1-2 days later with a different Commission member.
