    Good to hear from you, choille and RAS. :)

    Pete visited last night. He still hasn't given me a bill for last November's fencing! :rotfl:

    He was impressed that the sheep came towards him when he went to see them, showing that someone has been visiting them daily, if not exactly giving them treats. I must admit I have a soft spot for these, compared with last year's hooligans. They usually spend part of the day having a bit of a lark with each other. (Creeping up behind, butting & running off etc. or just charging about for the hell of it.) I still haven't forgiven next-door's sheep though! :mad:

    Anyway, it turns out the leccy poles would be really handy for Pete, who's building a pole barn, so I will swap for some gate posts. :D

    I showed him my stash of materials won earlier this week. As a man who is always down at the scrappy's, his remark was enthusiastic, but quite unprintable here! :rotfl:
  • Davesnave, Ibet his language was quite cheerful lol


    HAPPY Valentine's Day to all my Lovely Cyber ( and ones I have met) Friends.....


    Never been a person to splash out etc on VD day ( ooooo just realised the other meaning of the initials of Valentine's Day), so no cards etc... All we will be doing is drinking a can of larger eating our very own bacon sarnies..as we are picking our bacon up today....


    Its our Youngest's 18th today... so dreading the state he will come home tonight...


    I wouldn't mind a couple of sheep in the larger side of our garden up the ranch.... maybe next year... will get some orphan lambs or something...

    Looks soooooo good CTC! :D:j

    Unfortunately, bacon is one of the things I've given up as part of reducing my salt intake.....and I'm really missing it! My morning egg just isn't the same. :(

    The good news is that my BP is already down to normal levels, but I shall carry on trying to lose weight, eating oily fish and other fun activities. ;)

    Still unwell. It's only a cold & sore throat, but I have always been a terrible patient. I was so bored this afternoon, I claimed my State Pension. :rotfl:

    Now I'm officially old!!!! :mad:

    My Emperor's outfit is complete, but I've removed the picture now as it makes me more likely to be spotted and ID'd by somebody local.

    Pictures of sheep & hens are a lot safer! ;)

    I think maybe the odd bit of bacon now and again will not harm.... I think they say in moderation, but at the moment I will pass on that lol..
