Hot Trotters

While you Townies are shopping and doing the Xmas work party thing, it's all on out here in the sticks.
Shearing is going full blast.
There is a bit of rain around, enough to give the country pubs a bit of a bite at the pay cheques.
The strawberry growers are flat out picking, and the last thing you want to be at the moment is a turkey or a pig.
We are flat out grooming the Queens Highway in readiness for the holiday hordes.
It is hot out there too.
The sun is high.
The heat blasts back at you from the tarseal, your feet cook.
Still it's better than being a pig,
and air conditioned or not, you can have your office.
