3 sleeps






It is all about to change here at La Singlarie, the cat/dog ratio has been far to to the advantage of cats for too long, come Monday afternoon there will be two dogs again. I'm so excited but a little apprehensive for some dogs nose maybe put out of joint for a while. Sorrel has been on Bach's flower remedy 'walnut' for change for a week and both will continue it for a fortnight. Farmer J will be on Bach's rescue remedy to get him through the honeymoon period of dogs finding their feet.

So you want to know who is coming? His a 20 month old good looking boy. His just been at the Figeac dog refuge long enough for his pound time to pass (in case his owner comes to re claim him - they don't want him as he was passed on from travellers to travellers) had his 1st and 2nd lot of vaccinations and today had 'that' operation. Hopefully his now resting, I will be at the gates along with Anita at 2pm when they open, Anita will spend a bit of time with the cats no doubt while I fill in the adoption form and pass over the best spent 120 Euros Birthday present.

A moment from the week at La Singlarie Another steer went off on Wednesday. After spending 3 years with them it doesn't get any easier when they leave.

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!
