Worked last night, and gave the whole staff such a sob story of how the pigs are struggling to cope with yet another heavy fall of snow, that they clubbed together and gave me all of the potentially out of date food left over from Christmas!This morning the girls have Merrily chomped their way through a hundredweight of chapatis,croissants, a sponge Christmas cake in the shape of a champagne bottle, a selection of cheese and several dozen dainty party nibbles!
They especially loved the extra sweet cake, which had chocolate icing, and slurped it up with piggy eyes, tightly shut in glutton filled rapture.
The field population has not ventured far from the houses and coops, so braving the cold I stocked them up with corn and feed and have retired to the warmth of the cottage.
Chris is out at a pantomime with Janet tonight, and I have asked for a rain check from the cinema with Hazel......a night in in quiet solitude will be lovely
You look like I felt this morning when I let out the birds, except I had torrential rain. No snow for me.

Check out GREY GARDENS on Channel 4tonight if you haven't seen it. A cult classic, this.

Sounds rough. Cold here, but no snow. Mike is now sick and acting babyish (though not as babyish as I act when I am sick). So I have forewarned them at work that I may be out sick next week. Yeah for the new year, eh?
ReplyDeleteGlad "the girls" got to gluttonize! What nice co-workers you have. It's snowing here too. We hit the road on Friday for sunny Phoenix, though I'd rather have the snow. x-c
ReplyDeleteI have lovely images of the girls happily tucking into their goodies :0) No snow for us here, but icy cold rain & more mud for the ducks to enjoy! Roll on Spring!
ReplyDeleteI adore the noises pigs make when they are happy - it would have been quite a joyous moment - peace
