The week






28 hours was spent in Toulouse, Anita and left the car in the metro car park met Miss F, dumped our bags of at her new apartment before we walked into the centre and par took in a little retail therapy, afternoon tea. Meeting Master C and his girlfriend  for a bite to eat. Doing the french thing of coffee and pain au chocolate for breakfast more shopping and taking in the sights.


I am getting to the end of my cardigan a back, two sides (which took three attempts of completing ) and a sleeve down, a sleeve, neck and button band to go it is on hold at the moment while I knit a few donkeys.


The cows are making the most of the last bits of grass, very soon electric fencing will be put up to stop them tearing up the fields as it gets wetter here.


Franklin's sugar levels are still way to high, his insulin has been put up. His weight is still decreasing and while on Saturday's evening walk he started to behave oddly as if he was drunk, a quick sugar water syringe and apple sponge gave him enough sugar to stop his hyperglycemia. Looks like another day at the vets.


At last Sandy's piglets were moved today. It has just been too wet to get the trailer, and be able to move it by the pigs. Once the ground had dried out a bit the trailer was put in place in front of Sandy's enclosure while piglets were trained to come in for food. Once all in trailer shut, ear tags put in and trailer moved up the hill - or not it was too wet and slippery. So six little porkers were carried individually in a chicken crate and placed in their new enclosure.




Other members of the house hold slept. Milo is beginning to look like a felted dog, he is in need of a major groom and bath. His never liked a brush and now his blind a bath and groom freaks him out. He can wait for his owner to come back and help in the meantime he
has a little snip with the scissors as he sleeps.

Weeding

Potatoes A sad looking patch Hunting for carrots The weather has now gone from one extreme to the other from rain, rain and a bit more rain to hot, sunny and hotter. Time to access the veggie patch after I planted everything in one hit and then it got very damp and soggy. Well the potatoes are growing well, although they are going to be a lot later this year, kind of Earlie's for late ones and late ones maybe ready for Christmas dinner ( if they survive the bugs, rabbits and moles). The weeds have and still are growing really well, this morning was spent finding the carrots and parsnips, which I have with no help from Sorrel, who after a quick sniff lazed under the shade of the apple tree (which by the looks of it hasn't got hardly any apples on it?) The poor herb seeds sowed don't look to good or the french and runner beans, think a hungry mouse have nibbled on them so I will have to resow (once I have weeded -again)

A problematic Ewe

While Master C and Miss F were here over the weekend we took the opportunity for their help in moving the two ewes, Gorgon and Thumberlina to the field where the donkeys had been. What with all the rain we have had lately the grass grow super quick. The only problem was Miss Fatty did not want to move from her safe field (if only she knew she was moving to new lush grass). It took farmer J and Master C to try moving her after pushing from me and Master C had failed and she fell to the floor not moving an inch. There try also failed so they were both lead through the field in another direction. Of course once in the new field there was no looking back. Gorgon on the other hand was a breeze to move, as long as you have food he will follow, you just need to make sure you have enough food!
