Factual All Before Breakfast for a Farmer Dear Diary My alarm rudely awoke me at four o’clock this morning before the sun had risen. It felt like my head had only just hit the pillow and my eyelids softly closed for a moment or two when my alarm went off. I hit the snooze button, which meant I then experienced the whole dreadful event again. Twice was definitely enough, so I dragged my body out of the warm cosy bed into the cold air. I quickly threw on my jeans, a thick jumper and some warm woolly socks. Once downstairs, I popped the kettle on. After enjoying a hot cup of tea and fussing over Molly, my excitable border collie, I pulled on my boots and put my head torch on. It was still completely dark outside. The air was cold but it wasn’t raining. In the yard, I could hear the black and white Friesian cows’ hooves on the concrete floor, their gentle mooing and the water tank refilling itself. I started up the noisy milking machine in the parlour and flicked on the radio and the lights. Next, I checked the huge cooling tank in the dairy. I put on my apron and gloves before letting in the first six cows on the right-hand side of the parlour for milking. The cow feed rattled down the pipes into the feeding trays. First, I washed the cows’ udders to remove any mud. Then I started to put the clusters onto the cows. The milk gushed into the glass jars and through the system before going into the cooling tank. Once all six cows had the milking clusters on, I let the next six cows in on the left-hand side. One hundred and twenty-four cows later and it was time to wash down. I used the pressure washer to clean the floors. The water flushed through the jars while the milk cooled in the tank. The cows were back in the yard. By this time it was light outside but the skies were grey. After breakfast, it will be time to clean the barns and put in the hay. The tanker will arrive mid-morning to collect the milk. But for now it’s time for a well-earned breakfast—my favourite, scrambled eggs on toast. 116 Reading for Me Level 5 (Part A) 978-1-922843-64-7 R.I.C. Publications ® Prim-Ed Publishing
