No Lambs but Holy Meat!

No lambs!  No Smarty (I don't think that is how you spell it but I can't think how else to spell it and I haven't got time to go up stairs and perch on a chair to  check on top of the wardrobe where they are hidden!) egg for me - unless someone produces in the next two and a half hours!

When Sam returned from work he spent the entire day steam cleaning the SAME - he is not allowed to drive it round until it is spotless  and he is desperate to drive it!  This evening it is sparkling - he has even discovered the SAME imprinted into the metal bits holding the wheels together (axles I think they are called).  Tomorrow he is working with the Shepherd  for most of the day but when he returns he is allowed to drive it!

Carl was out most of the day - returning the excellent spinner - all fields done in less than the time it took to do one little paddock by hand - Thank you Andy!  He then had to return a trailer - or at least that is what he told me he was doing but he arrived back with a mighty big bale of hay for which he must have required a trailer so he has either returned with the same one or acquired another one - not quite sure what is going on there.

We also have a very special dinner soon as we were presented with a lump of lovely "Holy Meat" this morning - excellent!!

False Alarm

Not only were there no lambs last night - there are also no lambs today!  Apparently star gazing and rolling around are only signs things are imminent.  What does imminent mean?  Who knows!  So today we have had more intermittent back hunching, rolling, upward gazing, up and downing - but no lambs.  We now have a bet going - I say one tomorrow, Sam says Monday and Carl says Tuesday.  The prize is a Smarties Easter Egg.  Sam's sheep look very large, hot and uncomfortable.

And here is enormous George (Called Georgina by the Shepherd's Lady as she was born on St George's Day).

This afternoon we had visitors looking at the alpacas and then, with Andy's spinner, Sam got all paddocks that needed it done in a very quick time, I topped a few nettles and docks while Carl was stuck with the job of finishing off the patio doors and window.  He made up for it this evening by steam cleaning the SAME with Sam - which they both found very exciting!
