cleaning out animals, feeding, cleaning dairy and having an emotional breakdown :(
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Got another call out this morning ( helps having a girlfriend in the office !!  :innocent: ) film star wages... yeah right ,but not to be sniffed at , once home its been an afternoon of bedding up the pigs and checking them over, then the main event, yes its that time of the year again, fresh batteries in the torches, smoke detectors and the gas and carbon monoxide alarms tested too.
All the outside lights checked and timers reset Ive put the clocks back now and its off to bed “early” and the bonus lie in to come, heaps of pain killers to night and a good rest for the knees,just dont bother calling me tomorrow !
As an aside we havent had rain for 22hrs  :raining:   but I wont hold my breath...

Dont forget your clocks , just try explaining it to your beasties in the morning when they are shouting for breakfast

Sleeping. I've now been diagnosed with fibromyalgia as well as everything else and I overdid things big time on Friday and Saturday. The result being that I slept the clock round, got up, had breakfast and then slept some more.

Topping rushes with a strimmer before the horses are moved onto the winter field.

Wobbling! I had a fall in the road a few weeks ago and gave my head a good old bang which has resulted in severe vertigo.

I sprayed for a few seasons but it just seemed to knock the rushes back a bit.  Now they're topped regularly and are thinning out considerably.  No more thick clumps that the topper had to chew its way through.

I'm so sorry to hear that [member=89885]devonlady[/member]  have you seen the dr? Hope you feel better soon!  :hug:

Quite a quiet day today. Managed to sort out a roater for days off, every week each of us has a day off and the rest pick up the slack, today was my elder bro's turn, done him a world of good :) Under sonme pressure as grandfather just had a hip op and is stuck in hospital, so having to prepare for mum and dad going up there next monday :( They wen't up there monday just gone and were away until yesterday. Weather cleared up giving enough opportunity for building cleaning to bring in buffalo, then fed sheep their cake and coaxing the store lambs to start with theirs, they did too like good animals :) They've only known grass lol.
Have a great evening guys! :thumbsup:

Cutting, glueing and sticking.  Muggins here is making the stable for the pub nativity set.  At least the glue gun worked and the balsa wood hayrack and ladder to the hayloft have worked.  Just have to work out whereabouts to place the christmas tree inside it - in the hayloft or down with the main characters.
