Title: if anyone finds some lungs they are mine!!!!!!!
Post by: gavin davies on March 03, 2013, 08:20:25 pm

 As I had a full weekend off work this weekend for the first time in months I decided to finish off all the work I wanted to do up with the pigs

First of all I had to carry 85 concrete slabs up the mountain yeaterday which nearly killed me along with the sand and cement and extra water as we have had a few weeks of dry weather and the ground not looking too bad I decided I wanted to slab a large area off to make sure they have solid ground if the weather changes for the worse

So off into the newly fenced area for the first time they went while the ark was moved also I got slabbing away they now have 15 meters wide by 8 metrs long of new concrete area which has finally been done and dried which will make feeding them a hell of a lot easier as it will be on solid floor now their patio looks better than mine out the back also I have fitted two beches up there for us to sit and watch them

Why is it their are lots of things to do around the house before the baby comes but I find myself making sure they pigs are ok this pig keeping lark is starting to get me hooked and everywhere I go I find myself looking for things for the pigs

Going to mothercare tomorrow I wonder if they do a tripple buggy ????

 :roflanim: , a friend of mine kept talking about her baby, I was surprised to find it was a pup, us women love a baby around, human or otherwise, human ones being the hardest and the most complex to look after :-J

I spent a good part of my day watching, playing or brushing my pigs. Gave me the feel good factor.
