Swinging a chainsaw about 20 feet above the ground and feeling very manly
Lumberjack Eh?   ;)
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok, I sleep all night and I work all day.  :innocent:
looking after a new calf, only two more cows to go, then out to the chippy for a quick dinner and back home checking emails. Just having a rest before tucking meself into bed with a nice book, long day tomorrow. :tired:

Spinning assorted bats that I carded at a carding afternoon with other guild members.

Early this morning I finally got the last stock moved so I could put the tup in, he seamed quite pleased to get in with his ladies at last...

After that I was honoured to lay a wreath on behalf of my church at the local remembrance parade...

Now I'm chilling out in front of the fire...

Watching OH and my step father lop off the top of an evergreen which is blocking the solar panels, whilst cooking dinner with my mum, entertaining a 4 month old and a quick attack of ivy on a plum tree.

feeding a calf which was dropped by its mother, first time calver and a crap one at that. Milking the mum and feeding the milk back to the calf, the calf is very strong and up on his feet and is drinking what I give him eagerly, so he will be fine.
