Moving Freya

top left next to pole is miss F's one



32 degrees in Toulouse yesterday afternoon. The land rover was choker of Miss F's worldly goods as we travelled to move her into her new apartment on the third floor without a lift. It was little warm carrying boxes and bags, even hotter for farmer J as he had to relocate her new fridge freezer into a tight cupboard (due to the delivery guys failing to do so). Said fridge was moved three times, once in not quiet enough due to plastic bits sticking out from the sides of the cupboard, secondly it would not go past bumps on the bottom of the cupboard and lastly as when opened all the shelves were on top of each other and as it was such a tight squeeze you could not get them out. It is now in and if needs to be moved again  it will be a job for Florian when he returns from working the summer in Corsica.

It's a lovely apartment with an upstairs big bedroom and a balcony with an added bonus of two plant tubs attached to the outside. Only hope she manages to keep the basil, chives, parsley and chilli plant alive that i dug up from the garden ( and carried a bag of compost up those three flights of stairs). Close to the Patte d'Oie tube station (translated goose foot so she's keeping the farm theme going) with three stops to the centre of Toulouse and with shops close by it seems like a nice place to live if your a town mouse.

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!
