I already know where is proper grain and tomatoes. Now need to get transport and bags as bloody farmers who sell bulk amount of grain and tomatoes don’t care about bags. So now I, in order to buy some bags of potatoes and grain need to buy in the Internet 100 empty bags. What a shame! How annoying!
While in the village I met my local ex helper and he told me where I can get all I need. Probably all I need. So it would be wise to visit the farmer and see if it’s true and if yes - make a deal with him. I need straw, hay, grain, potatoes.
My bikes are broken. I will have to walk there. It’s not so close. A few kilometres. I would like to go there tomorrow, but I made appointment with the villager about cutting the wood. Now I regret. I can cut the wood on my own. I don’t need him. And I don’t want him to be in my farm while I will be away.
I was curious if the villager from whom I buy grain is honest. I had impression he wasn’t so I used my scales to weigh grain which should weigh 25kg per each bag. Well, in each bag there was only 23 kg. I bought from him 5 bags, so I lost 2kg x 5 = 10kg of grain.
I also weighed potato bag and this one was okay. I bought potato bag in a village shop.
I have planted 5 plum trees. It’s not many, but the soil is still hard to dig and I have other duties to do. There was just one rain this night. It’s not enough. The soil is still dry and hard. But if I manage to plant at least 5 trees a day, after 10 days I will have planted 50 fruit trees.
I have made an order with branches in the inner road. I have fed poultry and dogs, also cat.
Now time to milk the goats.
Two villagers came. One of them wanted a piece of glass and door from me. I asked him if he wants to earn some money for helping me with cutting wood for the winter. He agreed to come and also to bring some wild fruit trees.
I have milked the goats and poured the milk through a strainer. I gave some milk to the cat.
A man from Orange called me to say, that I will get the Internet cable, but late.
If it is true – I will be able to resume my internet business and start making money.

Looks like some my tools are missing. That’s it! I stop hosting so called volunteers. It’s enough.
Too much harm, too little help. And I hate to be robbed, specially by people who declared that they wanted to help. I collected my tools for years, often resigning from good food and eating very poor dishes – only to be able to buy tools and building materials. And I hate when I am robbed by bloody thieves. Also it looks like my towels are missing. I am not going to share my house with strangers. I feed them for free, let them use my house for free, I teach them every possible thing and bear their fussiness and yet they rob me. I hate it!
I can manage on my own and have no motivation to share my house with hostile unskilled strangers who pretend to be your friends.
