When you say, "We're all asleep in the shed together" I presume you don't mean you and Heidi as well?  :roflanim:

 ;D Yes, I had visions of you and Heidi and the goats having a play fight, and then falling asleep together.
 
I am sure the goats will get along fine now the kids have gone.  So, you are milking twice a day now?!!  Lots of milk.

I've just sent off for some cheese starter as we are getting loads of milk just now. It's ages since I last made any so I've got to dig out the muslin. That reminds me, the yoghurt will be done by now. I'd better get it in the fridge.  :yum:

Ice cream is nice to  do, too.  Not ice cream weather here yet - freezing cold.  Will have to look out my little icre cream maker, in case a heat wave is on the way :)

Good idea, PHB.

Cheese starter arrived today so I'll make it up tomorrow. Now where did I put those ice cube trays?

Still haven't made up the starter. Tomorrow definitely; we're nearly out of freezer space. I've made it in the past and it was lovely.  :yum:
