The Muntanui Dictionary: "Grit"

The Concise Oxford Dictionary's definition of "grit" in the colloquial sense, reads: 
Strength of character, pluck, endurance. 

To which I'd like to add:
1. Spending an entire afternoon and early evening doggedly broadcasting seed with a manual spreader over a rough, sloping 1.5 hectare (approximately 4.5 acres) paddock, then harrowing it in the tractor. 
2. Watching while torrential rain washes most of it away over the following week -- and not weeping.

So I guess the next post should be about our efforts to renew our pasture. . .
