I spent my morning finishing up my latest order of sheep to go to Jamieson’s Knitwear’s shop in Lerwick. OH promised to take them into town tomorrow. That lot took me five days with no stops – I am feeling a bit frazzled now but happy knowing there are sheep in my little field while I am away.
I have done my last poo-pick too, which is a lovely feeling. I have written out and printed The List which is every animal’s minimal requirements, cutting everything right back.
This lot will get the very definition of nothing but a haynet once a day. Two if it rains.
I shall look at this photo of Waffle to remind myself that he is still a chubster.
As long as the ponies don’t escape into the long grass, they should be alright.
The sheep will do their own thing. My only sadness is ‘Ster who will spend most of his days on his own unless he can remember how to get into the field by himself. He used to know, but now he’s forgotten or can’t do it.
Ster can see everyone but has resigned himself to his fate of a lonely daytime and they do all come back for bed so he’s not totally on his own all the time.
Packing next and it’s going to be bonkers hot and I don’t think I have any summer clothes! As long as there isn’t fog tonight, then I will hopefully be set to go at the crack of sparrows tomorrow morning. I might leave the blog for the next few days. I’ll see how I go but obviously I will take lots of photos and we can catch up upon my return.
So excited.
