@Sable_Jan , Morning Jan, and thanks, sorry forgot to take the towels with me yesterday, if I had a brain cell I'd be dangerous, Farrier due today so have left a note for him in stables, don't think its loose all round maybe just a nail, but he promised to give them new shoes anyway,
Arks will be in and fence erected later today, should have taken you up on your offer of hedge trimmers, ours broke, never mind can be done at a later date. pig nuts in stables in bin amusingly marked Pigs.
Was thinking how about growing some Loganberry's not enough time this year but next.
Back later Ladies to check on the Arks.

PS wasn't me that left the cake out, never even got to look at it, WAH :arghh::arghh::arghh:

OK, OK,OK, I KNOW, the Arks look like overturned half oranges, but I have been assured the colour will dull with weathering, but they were freebies and I'm told the colour is very now, no seriously on a snowy hillside they are easily spottable, unfortunately we can't paint them a different colour as paint is poisonous to pigs, sorry.
Got me coat and running to the hills.
Farrier said wrong nails used in previous shoes on Punch and Judy, but there fine now and look very smart in their new shoes, the children have done a good job with the grooming and they both look very smart, especially in their new collars.

You could try painting the arks with yoghurt to promote moss growth. Thus giving them a rustic look.?

Ooh, sunglasses on :cool::cool:
Yes, the donkeys look great and the ponies coats are soo shiny....Bella is such a sweetie....if I hold the carrot in my mouth she'll gently take it off me....opened the coop to let the hens out and peeked in the boxes....whadya know, we got our first two eggs. Was tempted to cook them for breakfast but figured it would be nice for you all to see them first.....and nope, they are real eggs, not the pot ones Satindoll put in there....tho strangely both were in boxes that had pot ones in. Chickens now fed and donkeys/ponies all had carrots and an apple between them ...
Could've sworn I smelled beer as I walked in the shed.....but peeked, and there's noone sleeping over...
Have put the washed towels in airing cupboard...
Have to get back now cos I've got to take car in get my airbag system checked out.....

Thats interesting, never heard of that.....
Given me an idea though....can we turf over them?

Yep, a number of years ago I learned it from a Swedish daytime TV presenter when she took me on a private tour of the studio. Which was broadcast from a real house & garden UK's "big breakfast" set style, with a control room for production.. This was all based near Vaasa in Finland.

Use natural yoghurt..!

Arks now have heating and lights, lots of straw inside for comfy beds, so ready for inhabitation. I guess we could turf them over but I think they will make a bright sight on a dull day,
@chris lowe No bees yet, not till the end of summer, moving them now not a good idea as not enough wild flowers to feed them and they will be stocking their larders for the winter, and only if you take them under your wing, pun intended, as I'm allergic to stingy things.
@Sable_Jan , no idea where the beer smell came from, shed was locked tight when son and I left last night, we will have to get RRB to put up that notice board, have left phone numbers for vets, farriers and farmer on pad in left top dresser drawer.
No they aren't the ceramic eggs, wrong colour and much lighter, its surprising how much those ceramic eggs weigh, found two more when I peeped in, so have put them in the egg rack with the others, someone is going to have a nice eggy meal.
@Jaylee We'd need a hell of a lot of Yog, are you offering to do the job.
Ok that's me done here for now, windows on night lock, lights on auto, cupboard door open in case it gets chilly, wood basket full,
