Hope your OH doesnt read this

No chance  I work him FAR too hard for him to have time to sit at the computer

Nooo! don't "not like" them, just prefer a shorter snout!!
My Kunes have lovely little faces, and delish eyelashes, better looking than some people I know!
Pigs are great, and piglets are gorgeous

Oh good, cause that's what I got and I was wondering if there were something I needed to know about. 

[little blue]

No, no , just a matter of individual taste I suppose.  Following on to the idea that pigs and men are similar!!

Ive yet to meet the man who can produce as much gas as our boar.

[little blue]

Hmmmm, not met my husband yet then?  Or my brother?!!
Or maybe  Murphy is a particularly gas-less boar!!

[Farmer]

Aren't most Boar Bores full of hot air?

N.B. No aspersions on your family LB

[little blue]

None taken... They're mine so I can say what I like about them (other people had better watch it though!!)
How's your leg/hip today Farmer? Take care of yourself....

[Farmer]

Still painful LB...thanks for asking...have taken to walking with a stick when it gets too bad...makes me feel really decrepit...but it'll pass...anyway too busy with the move to let my hip get in the way...only one more week before we take all the animals up to the new place and then I can start collecting the ones I've purchased...more Dexters and some Balwen sheep...going to a rare breed sale next Saturday to see if I can replenish my Gloucester Old Spot breeding stock...have been without pigs for about a month now and have really missed them, so can't wait to get some more.

Have you seen your GP?  Do you have painkillers for it?  I use Ibuprofen but I know it doesn't agree with everyone

[little blue]

very exciting!!
Don't worry about the stick... we have my late mother-in-law's and have both had occassion to us it. Our combined age is 64 (and theres 10 years between us, so work that out for yourselves!)

How are you preparing the animals.. nights in the trailer, or will you just pack them up when the time comes?!

[Farmer]

Hoping to just pack them up when the time comes - sheep should be no problem, nor the chucks and ducks...will probably have a little trouble with the Dexter cows...but our Bull is an old softy and will walk on the trailer if you comb his hair...my main concern is the two pet goats (Jake & Kenco) never been on a trailer and will not like it one bit!

She who must be obeyed is getting some Ibuprofen tomorrow Annie...haven't tried it before but hope it will help...Dianne (SWMBO) has used it and says it is very good.

You can take Paracetamol with it.  My GP son-in-law says for bad muscle/joint pain, to take 400 mg Ibuprofen then two hours later take a full adult dose of paracetamol (forget what that is but the packet tells you - 2 tablets usually), and use that regime three times per day.  He also says to keep that up for three days and if the pain is still as bad to see your GP for stronger drugs.  If you feel at all unwell after the first Ibuprofen don't take any more and see your GP.
