Last Night and Today

A few photos from last night and today.

Ever feel you are being watched…… like, all the time?

Dear old Bibble still maintaining his Bibbleness.  A job is a job.  Someone has to be Bibble.

This afternoon, after all my hard work – packing veg, stripping and trimming garlic, making felted sheep, poo-picking the track, I thought I deserved a treat so I sat down on a rock in the sheep’s field.

Maggie came up to talk.

When I think of Maggie being a miserable thin hill but pregnant sheep and now she is full of character and looking very well.  Dear Maggie.  How her life has changed.

Barrel (L) and Gussie are about the same size now.  Gussie is probably bigger and a bit of a galumphing galoot.  He can’t work out if he is wild or very tame.  It depends on the day.  Barrel is tame when he wants something.  They were busy watching my neighbour’s tractor at work.  They were hypnotised by the action.

I left their field to come inside to write this blog.  Monster was happily relaxing on the table that lives outside our house while OH was mucking out his van.

I was talking to Monster, when Pepper jumped on the table too and I could see that Monster was cross with Pepper for getting in his way and stealing the attention so he grabbed her leg fully intending to bite it.  I could see him hatching his cunning plan.

So I told Pepper to “Sit” and for once she did and wagged her tail in Monster’s face instead.

I quickly took this sweet family portrait before Monster left in a huff and Pepper jumped down to go inside with me.  Funny little furry family.

    Three years ago, I was totally unaware of the drama of life in the Shetlands. Now, it’s like my daily dose of hearing about friends & what’s happening in their lives. It’s wonderful. I really can understand sitting & talking to my furry friends& family. Look how Gussie’s grown & Maggie looks great.
