My back has been giving me gyp (muchos pain and sciatica) for a while now, so I bit the bullet and went to the Pain Clinic at our local hospital in town to discuss the possibilities of having a lumbar epidural injection of steroids into the offending part(s). So now I am booked in for six weeks’ time or possibly sooner.
En route to hospital, I popped into Jamieson’s and delivered more sheeple as they had nearly run out (again).
Finally home in the afternoon and I needed to go for a walk with anyone who wanted to come too.
There was a wide assortment of companions offering.
And, yes, we all stood and waited for Monster!
And off we went.
I called the horses over and Kolka came cantering for the rather mean, and possibly slightly foosty (possibly the best word in the Shetland/Scottish dictionary = mouldy), carrot in my pocket.
And I love this more than I can say – Haakon having a little silly-billy giggle to himself. I haven’t seen that in a while.
The theme tune to “Black Beauty” was all I could hear as Iacs went rushing past me. He circled back for the carrot, though.
Carrots duly accepted and eaten, I turned back for home wondering how on earth I am going to make enough sheeple for the tourist season. I wonder if anyone would notice these two in the box in the shop?
However, Harrel’s faint smell of wee might give them away!
So sorry your back is giving you issues. You would need a much bigger Sheeple Box for Harrell to lounge in.
I had the injection of which you speak and have had almost total relief. I wish the same for you!
Frances, so sorry to hear about your back. Keep walking as you can. Love the photos and commentary.
Question, looking at all the horse hair in the previous entry, is it coarse enough (not the correct wording) but good enough texture to felt ? Just curious.
Hey, business is good (haha hey/hay/hey).

I think the fibres are too short. I was given an explanation but I forget. I know foal fur is spinnable so possibly feltable too.
I do hope your back pain can be eased. Praying for you.
Nope I don’t think you can get by with those two in the box. Nice to hear that your little sheep are selling so well now. And I love the pictures of you and your gang on a walk. Praying for your back…that it will be better soon, or at least after your treatment!
Glad you are getting your back seen to.
Looks like you had a delightful walk
Hope your back improves soon!
A little off topic: You have so many appealing photos of Monster in a great variety of situations that could be compiled into a really impressive book or calendar. The commentary often accompanying the pics is equally amusing or thoughtful. You could even create a story that might be compelling as a children’s book and the book/calendar could be sold as a fundraiser for your animal family. I know you have amazing horse photos for sale but there are millions of cat enthusiasts around the world and Monster is a never-ending source of intrigue. Just a thought. 🙂
Definitely a thought and thank you for your idea….. Daisy would probably buy them all! I try and send her a daily photo of Himself.
