Feeling sorry for myself. Months ago one of my back teeth snapped off,leaving the root and a few bits of tooth. I've been meaning to go to the dentist ever since. Had to today because I have an abscess and it huuuurrrrrtttsss.


The dentist tried to take it out but the anaesthetic didn't work fully, due to the infection in the gum so I now have antibiotics and a referral to a specialist dentist who can dig all the bits out.

In the meantime guys have a good one... and keep safe!

Admiring my new Muscovy drake. I have him separate at the moment but his fence borders with the females and its nice to see them sit next to each other even though the wire separates them. I am hoping for an easy introduction.

The ladies seem calmer and attack less than they used to since he has arrived

Collected another 30 day old chicks to raise, tho I swore I'd never do it again after the winter hassle of not being able to free range.  Fortunately I already have a buyer for 20 of them as growers, and having sold a couple of just started laying birds I remain safely under the 50 total throughout tho I still hope to sell off a few 2yo birds and some more of these in due course.

Something very rewarding about raising chicks, especially this time of year!

Checking sheep even earlier than I usually do, because yesterday we had triplets and lost 2 as they both got stuck...  All fine today though, healthy twins born this morn. So far 18-19 ewes have lambed, vast majority are ewe lambs  Going to be resting now after a busy morning of rearranging stock, buildings and cleaning everywhere... Tired now. Thinking may catch up with some friends in a bit

Serviced the old tractor, easy to get all the parts from, the oil , it seems that old fashioned mineral oil is getting scarcer in favour of yer super wonderful chemiacly semi or fully synthetic lubricant.

Eating out, the height of fine dining - grabbing a bite while doing the weeks shopping.

Very stressed ou today, various reasons... One of which is that I have missed tailing some lambs and marking them, so will be running a lot today. Its the silly gorse some of them lambed in and I couldn't access it properly, so will be moving them shortly.

Passing my Safe Use of Pesticides assessment for weedwiper, PA2F. Assessor was very patient, i think she was in a good mood because previous candidates would have flown through.  .
But was an amusing twist in the part one training.
