Has everyone else felt as hot as I have today?!
The alpacas certainly have. Bert had a bucket of water tipped over her and then looked at me longingly until I emptied another over her. Cassie prefers being squirted, Belinda likes a little trickle! At this rate we shall be running out of water.
I am very thankful that I now have the Mule back and have been zooming around in that today, I needed to get a bit tidier as we had a visit from Reddingvale who came with a visitor for Cassie. Top Brass was gorgeous and got straight down to things with a very willing Cassie and a posse of a admirers.
Tilbo is standing next to Mum and is using his leg well now - another couple of weeks and hopefully it will be fixed. Carl was late home from work and missed it all but I did tell him Andy was planning a second lot of bailing in August and that got his competitive streak going! He had Sam and I up in third with him to bale all the stray bits we left - 47 bales we got!! I blame it all on Andy as I now have farmers' leg again (I was wearing my shorts and the bales prick your legs leaving a red rash all over them!).
