My morning was spent watching my little car (Mum’s originally) pass it’s MOT. Huzzah! Great relief. I do worry every time. It’s worse than a piano exam.
But I had a whole hour to myself and I was offered a wonderful cup of tea, free wifi and peace.
You have no idea what total bliss that was. I almost didn’t go home. I could’ve easily spent the day there watching random strangers cars go through their MOT drinking cups of tea.
But I did go home and straight out with carrots to check the Ancients.
This photo made me hum Colonel Hathi’s song from The Jungle Book.
Wee dug came too, of course, if I could see her.
Later I was in my shed making the sheep in the middle. The perfect Christmas present – just sayin’. I have lots.
Afterwards, it was into the shed to muck out, dish out buckets and get the next lot of haynets ready. One look at the old ladies in their pen made me decide to move them as it was getting grubby and smelly – they seem to be peeing for the Olympics.
So we closed off the adjoining pen to Waffle, Silver and Newt. Yes, they get less room, but they get neighbours.
It will give the smelly pen a rest and I can cover it with fresh sand which will help.
Anyway no one seemed to mind losing a bit of their space if it meant they got to see their friends. Fivla looked a bit unimpressed, though.
There us nothing worse than a piano exam….
We know this!
Having 2 hours to myself at the laundromat every week is a god send. So blissful….
You understand.
Oh gosh, could I ever identify with your feeling of euphoria for the hour spent at the car garage! When my girls were little and asking a million questions about the world in general & making sure that I answered every question to appease their inquiring minds, I remember when I went to the bathroom, locked the door and would think, ‘YES! I have two minutes just to myself, a whole 120 seconds where I don’t have have to explain the minutia of the universe.’ I adore my girls, but by evening, I would feel as if my brain had been completely drained & my body felt as if I had been in a couple of triathlions.
And, yes, I love the sheep & I agree,they will make wonderful Christmas gifts. Therefore please post how to order those cuties. Thanks!
You know your crew better than I do. BUT I had a horse who had a feeder that was attached to the pipe fence rail so at a comfortable height, but insisted on throwing hay on the stall floor that was sand. We had a real tense time with colic!! she survived but it was touch and go.
They eat out of especially designed boxes from small hole haynets. I can’t let them near the wall. They eat it.
I would also like to know how to order your sheepies.
