Cleaning my house! After poo picking and getting soaked through but rain is always a good reason to not put off housework. Afternoon spent being thrashed by my seven year old daughter at snakes and ladders - Happy Days

Not quite all day, but ...
Barracading Portia, my matriach sow, into the byre - she's in season again & I am determined that she is going to "save herself" for Big Red this time

Tending my melons  and collecting 3 large buckets of "salad" thinnings from neighbours. They empty a whole packet of seed along a ploughed line then thin everything out. They are old but one at least has shakey hands to improve seed sowing BUt 2 have bad back pain ( probabley from thinning out all their beg and salad). Colecting their salad means having a coffee and chat so it been a day of rest really ( kept me out of the sun I guess).

I slept through most of yesterday     today I intend to make at least 10 batches of soap...once I get off of TAS and finish my coffee     I also have 4 teachers presents to make up and some menu planning now that eldest DD has decided she is going to be like her Dad (vegemetarian) and DD3 is saying she wants to too....Oh cooking for 7 was never so easy...NOT>

Dead mouse hunting.
 
That familiar odour was wafting around the lounge this morning. We found the offending article under one of the sofas, but Ive a nasty feeling that there may be another one somewhere else as I can still smell something. We'll have another look in a mo'.
Fred left one just inside the catflap this morning, I then found another on the back doorstep, the other side of the flap, and another 4..that's FOUR within a 5 metre radius of the door. I think the local moggies were competing in their own Olympic games last night.

Plums, elder daughter decided to go veggie aged 9, we thought it was just a phase  but apparently not. Younger daughter decided to join her a year later as did OH so there was only one thing for it - I became veggie too!  We have all been veggie for about 15 years now and don't miss meat in the slightest. Just got to be careful to spot the gelatin ingredient in sweet treats though - pity because I loved    jelly babies before! Found a good veggie recipe book    - 330 Vegetarian Recipes for Health by Nicola Graimes.
Anyway back to topic - Today I have been (so far) painting bedroom door, checking lambs over , soaking dogs foot in epsom salts, mucking out stables , ordering 12 tonne load of gravel and making FIL cups of tea (he's pottering here today  ).  Kettle is back on!

Syphoning 20 ltrs of diesel out of the car, 5 went into the tractor the other 15 are going to go in the new car when I get it tomorrow or Thursday. I'd have kept syphoning but I ran out of petrol cans !! Cost of fuel today it was bringing tears to my eyes, the thought of letting the garage have all that diesel.

Picking up droppings from the ponies paddock then started pulling ragwort from the hill paddocks. For once we had a dry day.
