so ... did everybody get done all the jobs they planned to?



I know I didn't!
Rain, both of us still full of cold/flu and an injured foot (think I might have broken my big toe - its now very black!) so just hobbled round doing the basics.
I did buy some shed paint - shame the weather wasn't fit to actually use it ::)
ah well, tomorrows another day :)

To be honest .. I have absolutley no idea!
When I think of all the times I have banged my foot, been stood on by dog/goat/pig etc, kicked stuff, forgotten its only my wellies & dockers that have steel toe caps!

I took my welly off Friday evening, washed my hands, turned to get a towel ... and suddenly was in agony!

I can't walk on it without severe pain, though its only just come out bruised today.
There's abit of a lump at the joint, ok to touch but can't weight bear.

Don't think I'll be walking the 5 miles to work tomorrow, better get  a lift!

Lol Bazzais.

For me, it's a chance to do some real work instead of having to sit at a desk all week.

This weekend, I want to muck out 2 goat pens, but I will have to fit in around the normal chores as well as friends coming to visit so we can disbud their kids, and my niece's birthday party. Have pc work to catch up on, and I could do with doing some more of the desk job as well.

Beth


Did all of the above, plus disbudded my two boy kids, and cut two of the milkers feet. Oh and dropped the oldest kids to 3 feeds a day and converted them to a pan instead of a bottle.
Haven't done much of the pc work and none of the desk job!

Ruth have you been kicking Jason again?  ;D

I did get all done that I intended - five hours on my college work.  Too wet to do anything outside other than the milking/feeding.

Cant remember what I did out the norm - but did have a great sunday dinner in the village :) - all that was left was pork by the time we had arrived but i was so hungry I didnt even notice I'd eaten the apple sauce - and god I hate apple sauce.

We had a bright afternoon here :)

This weekend coming I will be:

  • putting up the espalier posts for the apples
  • putting spiral gurads around the willows and hedging sticks
  • clearing the side of the field shelter in preparation for a lean-to
  • planting the new strawberry plants
and I'm meant to be helping doing some clearance work at the local railway preservation group with DH but I haven't got around to preparing the blade on my bush scythe so we might just go armed with noisy machinery.

I like posting up my jobs on this forum because it really adds an extra leg to my committment to do the things that I have listed.[/list]

    I don't even know what I'm doing tomorrow let alone next weekend.  Actually, I do.  I've got a hospital appointment then I'm trawling the charity shops looking for wool to knit with. Thursday?  Not a clue although I really ought to go and buy a trailer load of hay for the girls.

    started laying the carpet tiles in the bathroom today and did very well! so while i have my boy Byron in the herb garden weeding i will be doing the rest of the tiles. then after lunch it will be splitting wood and planting seeds. so much coming up at the moment seems like spring is here! got to tighten my sump plug on the hilux as it is leaking a bit of the slippery stuff  :thumbsup:
