Today i was up at 5 am.  someone was snoring OH says it wasn't him  ::) .  tidied kitchen, put in washing and drying, made sandwiches made OH cup of tea.  checked ram lambs, 2 flocks of ewes, gimmers, all within a five mile radius of home.  went to work (8 hours) came home, went out, saw to shetland ponies ( kept in stable because of chronic sweet itch) checked other equines, checked and counted gimmers, ram lambs and ewes.

Home,  made OH dinner, fed Humbug (cat) and Jess (lurcher) fed rabbits, rang daughter and mother.  Got a beer. looked at ironing and thought **** it!!

Glad she's ok - and hope you manage to catch up on your sleep just a little bit...  :-*

Taking it easy this morning due to an unforeseen and totally unexpected medical problem plus a mild case of vertigo which started a couple of days ago but got worse over night. I cant look down now without the world spinning!
This afternoon should be fun though as I have to help hubby get the latest delivery of wood away before this week's tomorrow morning.
Ive also got to start getting things organised for our new arrival tomorrow :cat: :excited: :excited: :excited:

Dodging showers to do the usual rounds - and knitting during them  :)

Was supposed to take my mower into the garage to be fixed, but a friend arrived this morning so couldn't and not now doing a 12 mile round trip on a quad bike in this weather.

Hope it's drier tomorrow morning and they can fix it fast, as I should be able to mow Wed - Sat this week.......

I have been varnishing my kitchen settle.  Good thinking time.  Was thinking and wondering how Mallows had got on with the evacuation of her girls, whether Bella was home safe and sound yet, how Plums' daughter was today, how was Mad Goat Lady coping with her pain etc.  I'm such a worrier, though I am thankful it is none of my family (inc animals) I have to worry about at the moment.  Lucky me.   :)

Your username should be "Lovely lady", for thinking so much of others. I have to admit though, that I get so moved when I read some of the problems that folks are having to deal with. It just goes to show what a "family" we all are........and believe you me, I think I know more about you lot than I do about most members of my family!!

Nah! Lovely lady sounds far too precocious and I would hate to appear to be so.  I do however consider myself so very lucky so I'll stick with that I think but thank you both for being so kind.
