Afternoon off
Hi all, this morning I woke up feeling like shit. I think I am incubating some bug. I still went to shovel some shit at Sean's farm but left a bit earlier with his understanding. After all the first thing he said this morning when he saw me was "you look like shit Jonzie".
But I did watch "The life of Brian" for the first time in my life last night! I know! when I went back to the mobile home I couldn't start the fire, what a pussy eh?
Anyhoo, I gave up and went to bed and that probably did it for me.
The stable is almost done. John the builder will come on Monday to finish off the last bit of sheeting and the two perspects on the roof. The plastering is not top notch but hopefully will do what is supposed to do, keep out the water.
The ladies are doing great and going happily into their last 2 months of pregnancy.
Polls are open, what do you think we'll get? how many lambs? and how many females out of them? Take part in the polls on the sidebar and we'll get some cheese for the winners!!

What ho!
Hallo friends and followers :)
It has been busy and my back hurts a bit. Thanks to Tom I got a job for a few hours per day in a dairy farm. It's through the "relief milking" scheme but I just do relief shit shoveling. At least I get milk off the farm and it gives excellent curds! first stracchino made today!
So the daily routine is a bit tighter, which is good because it's very easy to get lazy in this environment.
Today it's lovely and I have done nothing else but being inside the internetz.
As you can see from the pictures the stable looks a bit better. If the winds won't blow it away it should be ready in a couple of weeks.
The mobile home site is getting better and better and it's definitely cozy.
Sorry about the amount of sheep in the pics, I just cannot resist!
