Moved Them
This morning Vitamoobag and her not-much-of-a-friend Kolka escaped and went walkabout around the croft.  It was all my fault. I didn’t secure the gate when I brought the breakfast buckets and…

Poor Little Newt
“Poor little Newt” is not a phrase I thought I would ever be saying but today was that day. This afternoon, we were down to one haybox (the other is being repaired by OH) and so I stupi…

Not Fivla’s Day
Today was not Fivla’s day. It started badly when I brought her her breakfast bucket and went downhill from then on. Fivla likes to eat on her own if she can because she likes peace and quiet …

The sun tried to show its face this morning, albeit very briefly.  The mornings are much darker now. I am usually up and around by the time it appears. This was my view from the feed container whil…

Faces
It’s been a day of faces (oh, Haakon!) Or a sneaky side-eye (thank you, Vitamoobag). Apparently, no one wanted to look pretty today.  Just silly so I gave up trying. With the exception, of co…

It does help but doesn’t get hot enough for me. I have resorted to EMS/TENS pads which are really helping.

Good idea. I have resorted to painkillers and my jawline heatpad. It helps. Maybe chocolate ......

Physiotherapy
I chucked the old horses and ponies back out into their old field.  They were not impressed. But, as I told them, you don’t need all that grass for the foreseeable.  I am saving it for the wi…
