Title: Out together

First bit of decent sunshine here today so we stuck some of the tribe outside for a couple of hours , that will be fun getting them in with their own kids...

Isn't it lovely to have sun that has some warmth in it. I am sure the goats are enjoying it.
My lambs are all out together for the first time too. I can see one of my little girls is a real sun worshiper. She has her head turned up to catch the rays  ;D

Just what I was going to say, Anne.   :roflanim:

My girls are enjoying lying out in their yard in the sun.

HI Debbie, thanks for asking,  had to go back to the surgery this morning, looks like I've damaged all the muscles round the top of my leg , not the leg I broke ,but t'other one,  so a week on painkillers then see doc again and maybe x-rays  to find out what is going on, the whole upper leg just goes into spasms as soon as I go to bed, not cramps just painful spasms for about an hour after I go to bed.
Bloody goats are out to get me. :-J

PS , lucky to get out of the surgery alive this morning, While I was there 1 bloke walked in to the consulting room chatted to a couple of people on the way in, 5 mins later he was on a stretcher with an ECG plumbed into him and paramedics administering oxygen , Blues and twos going.
5 mins later a woman collapsed off her seat in the waiting room and cracked her head on the floor, Queue jumping attention seekers.......
Free entertainment for all.

Oh dear, that sounds really painful, hope it's not too long term.
 
By the way the lamb escaped with his balls. When I finally caught him he kept pulling them in  ::)  and I couldn't ring him, then his mum started calling for him and he got wriggly so I gave up and decided I'd just have to keep him entire.
