Sleepy ladies and boy (almost) in tears

Still not a cria in sight and not really much sign of anything appearing in the immediate future!  However, today the liveliness has been punctuated by less lively moments - so there is hope (apart from the fact that they are large and blossoming at the rear)

The quality of the pictures leaves a little to be desired as I spilt apple juice on the camera and I feel it may need a bit of a service!  The car also needs something as what was a distant wop, wop, wop Vietnam noise has now developed into a drumming which cannot be cured by turning the radio up.  Carl has donned his blue gloves and taken it down the road for an investigation at this very moment.

But the great news today is that Sam took his driving test this morning - and passed!  He was so pleased we were both nearly crying (well, I was and he was trying not to).  Sadly, his new vehicle can't get in for an MOT until next Friday so the moped will still have to come out tomorrow!

A little excitable

Fairly busy couple of days - and lovely weather yesterday so we are full of the joys of spring.  The alpacas are very grumpy and fighting over food, hay, water, the best place to sleep - looks like a fair few are well and truly pregnant!  Brilliant!  Lambs are due first - 5 weeks to go for them.  I am trying desperately not to think about the cria due or I will start wishing my life away again.  It is impossible, though, for me not to start crawling around checking for udders and swollen back ends - just can't stop myself!
Zara is one of the first due and I am really hoping she is as I would love a black cria.

Crispie is due in June which seems ages away but I am sure time will fly!

I seem to be using a lot of exclamation marks tonight but that is because I am a little hopeful about a visit we are making tonight.  Fingers crossed we may have news sometime soon!!
