Cinderella's back from the ball.......those dainty wellingtons are now back on my feet and the sounds of the field await those first jobs of the day.Chris sorted everything out very well..apparently Boris behaved himself (a sign that he remains "under par" and as Chris put it so succinctly last night "no one has died!"
It is nice to be home too.
As always there is plenty to do, even though I have only been away for two days....
The dogs are getting their haircuts today,
The runner duck eggs in the incubator need to have their humidity increased as they are due to hatch very soon
and I need to arrange to pick up 4 unwanted hens from a local pub....
...the field population grows.........
I had to smile when you said that nothing had died. It reminded me of when I was on the farm, you felt it was going to be a good day if you got back from doing the rounds and nothing was dead or trying to be dead. Sheep were the best at dying, I don't think there is a way to die that they didn't invent.
