Rummer, make sure you take time out for yourself...

I am soooo pooped, in again at 7am in the morning, we have at least a week's worth of work coming in tomorrow alone:eek::eek::eek:

FK Sounds as though you are busy. how are you pigs? have you mate any of them yet?

I am going to wait until December/jan so We don't have baby piggies in the middle of winter..but then on saying that we could be knee deep in snow in spring again:rotfl:

Rozee aka 'chicken lady':p how is the house coming along?

ITSME.. how did things go in the garage?

House is coming on a treat CTC.

Just skip reading.

Managed to get the sheep sheared - well all but Dougal who hid! Naughty Dougal. Will get him this week - hopefully, what a pain.

The lambs are doing well & have all been moved across with their Mothers & will go on the hill soon.

Start some medical research stuff tomorrow, so a trip through to Inverness on the bus which is a trip out.

Who was it said our place is always tidy? Here is a picture taken behind the tatty barns about a week ago which should dispel that idea!



The angle is a bit deceptive, but you can see the barns are in two sections with a gap between, and from end to end they cover about 45'. So, we have a piece of ground that length behind them. We will be turning this into a 'utility area'

You can see that we have re-roofed the two barns nearest to the camera, and the far one has been done too, so that just leaves one to go. I finished clearing it yesterday, ready to rip off the old, buckled Onduline roof.

This morning it's raining.

Another view looking inside the barn we must re-roof. I will replace the roof timbers, as the existing ones are very flimsy.

Your Messy areas are like our neat ones davesnave!

No reply yet from the Pole People.

While I was dealing with that yesterday, I took a photo of the location where they'd erroneously proposed siting the pole. Looking at it later, I suddenly noticed that Mr Dog has planted leylandii all the way along the picket fence which separates him from the neighbouring farm's field.

This seems quite bizarre, because Mr D has a splendid view down the little valley, way better than our rear views here. Perhaps he plans to keep them low, but why plant them at all when he has a perfectly good fence? He already has 3 sides of his property walled-in and huge, solid gates.

I know the farmer and his wife both walk their dogs in the field every day and they always walk right up there. I go over there now & again to maintain the far side of our hedgerow, but that only happens once a month at the most. So its not as if there are many people looking in from there.

Perhaps Mr D, seeing me working my way up the hedge over the last two years, has assumed I shall be laying all of it eventually and then peeking at him from our field. I'm going a bit further, and I'm clearing the stream, but I agreed a couple of years ago to leave the bit at the end by him as a wildlife area, and to plant it up some more....

....And if it weren't for this bloody pole, which is all his fault, I could get on and do that.:rotfl:

Karma anyone?
