“Get a Room” were the words from Daisy when I sent her these photos!

Last night, I was lying on the sofa watching the Women’s Football – the Euro 2022 Final at Wembley – totally transfixed and I never watch football!  This was history in the making and totally brilliant.

Meanwhile, Monster came and sat on me.  Pepper was on a big cushion close by.

Everyone was comfortable (sort of).

Sleep was on the agenda for some.

And then Pepper realised what was happening…..

And she tried very hard to ignore the situation ….

Until this happened.  And that was when Daisy wrote “Get a Room!” I can see her point.

Today, Monster has been posing for Crime Novel covers.

And then I found him stuck on the roof.

He was shouting at me.

While looking pathetic.

So I opened some roof windows and he managed to come inside.  Phew!  Can’t lose the model.

I was out and about this morning with Pepper and I dropped in on Klængur at his “Slimming Clinic”. He is currently living with the beautiful Hekla who sort of likes him but keeps him at a distance.  She rules.

Klængur immediately walked over to see me, which was nice.

At least I have not been forgotten.

But Klængur is in the best place.  He lives on a fantastic “track system” during the daylight hours and then is moved to a small minimal grass paddock every night.

And I think he has lost some weight, or at least his grass belly has gone.  He is looking so much better.

I think I might join him!

Some were resting indoors with no intention of moving (yes, Pepper you were caught having gone back to bed) ….

and then there were those who preferred to be outside….

And so, armed with my helper (that would be Lambie who was on his own – he had refused to go into a field), I decided to tackle the feed-shed.

I think Lambie was fairly shocked at the state it was in.

As was I but I can’t blame anyone – it was all my fault.  All winter, I just throw all the rubbish to the back of the shed telling myself I will clear it out come Spring time.

Well, Summer is now sort of here so I could not put off this miserable job any longer.  It was looming.

Lambie was “helping” with his encouraging Winning Smile. It was all I needed and we had numerous rests where I would sit down and we would spend some Muzzah time together….. I am very easily distracted. Any excuse.

Anyway, I did finally acheive and the shed looks 100% better.

Everything in it’s place and a place for everything.  There are even two empty bins for the old feed bags – one for plastic and one for paper.  I have no excuse now not to keep this shed tidy.  The old TurmerAid pots are also incredibly useful. I am currently storing Vitamin’s veteran mix so it can travel in the car.  I am in a tidying mood at the moment.

A few photos from today. The Minion herd is back together.  My neighbour and I brought them over in two trips and they were all very pleased to see each other, which was lovely.

After lunch, I found the ponies in a huddle eating their heads off.  They all came running up to me to say “thank you, thank you” so I sat down on a rock and gave them hugs.

I love seeing them here, at home.  It is where they’re meant to be but circumstances dictated it was not to be, until now.

This lot suddenly went cantering off when Waffle realised there might be others around.

The rest followed, just slower.

Even slower.

Anywho, the Minions told Haakon and Iacs what they thought of them so they were duly ignored.

Waffle: “Oi, you, come over ‘ere!”

Haakon: “Iacs, what do you think of these little people?”
Iacs: “They’re very small!”

So the little ones cantered off again.

I worry that Albie might find this field triggering as he spent his orphan days here and I can see him thinking about it.

But I gave him a big hug and now he is thinking his happy thoughts.

Vitamin is trying to be pleased that her herd are back together, though she secretly loved just living with Newt and Tiddles.  No pressure.

I have FIvla on a promise that she will stop being a mardy cow and start being nice again.

We’ll see how they go. This is just a brief holiday.

Little Miss Pepper comes outside with me every morning to feed the throng – sheep, hens, ducks, ponies, horses…..

And she is getting to know the Shetland ponies who are now living here.

Pepper is not scared and she holds her ground too.

Newt and Tiddles were very curious about this new dog.  Yes, they were used to BeAnne but they could tell Pepper was new.

And little Pepper-Pot was fantastic.

She just sat there and let herself be fully investigated.

What a wonderful little dog!

I told her that, often!
