1:38 pm
hot. the milk 10 saw by 11 o'clock in the morning, the milks temperature can reach 35 degrees celsius. so more that, that, that the phase and the, the colleen and they only need to pass dry's the goat smoke at the sanctuary. but time is not on their side, it's an hours drive and they can't just go faster because then the milk would get shaken up too much the blood pollings new formula is a clever invention. one that both cuts the sanctuaries, annual cost and eliminates the need to import can develop from abroad. the we have a loss of note today of the when
