We've had another damp day here, but all the sheep and cows are doing well, touch wood and the chicks are growing fast. I managed to get a sneaky look at them when Skye had her back turned (she's still looking out for them and would love to get them indoors).
We've been putting up some curtains in the new cattle shed today – green ones. They are meant to keep the worst of the weather out, but I'm a bit doubtful. They look a bit edible to me – a bit too much like grass to put that close to a bunch of bored cows. We'll see...but hopefully they'll last a while because they took a fair bit of putting up (and I should know, as I watched it all while I was having a well-deserved rest in the loader)
Little Daisy has been watching the weather forecast for a bit of cold weather – she wants to be able to wear her new coat and has been disappointed it's been so mild. Skye says she's daft wanting it to get colder (talk about the pot calling the kettle black!) and says she's definitely not looking forward to frosty ground making her toes cold. In fact, she's already spent ages getting her Christmas list together and says she's putting thick socks right at the top – along with a duvet and a sick note that lasts until lambing is finished. Bone idle...
Oh well, soon time to get the lambs back in so that's something to look forward to
Take care
