FARM LIFE IS HARD! I am being challenged a lot by the lack of schedule, lack of things-to-do, etc. It may be good practice, but I still dread the thought of practicing this for 3 more weeks. Next week, I will pick a sunny day to go see something outside of Cork, and that will be nice. I also have many plans in the next few months which I am looking forward to, In the meantime, I guess I can learn to cook?
