Fog and Mud

I did do a photo today - but it is more to show you how dismal the weather is than for any photographic merit (there are alpacas in there somewhere - there is also a great deal of very sticky mud).

The alpacas all look dirty and the worst is Greeves.  He is so covered in hay he looks like a little sloth and his Mum was in a foul mood today.  All I wanted to do was give him his supplement which he likes and for some reason Lina took exception to this.  She has always been fine with me doing things to Greeves but not today!  I had to resort to shaking my finger at her and giving her a good talking to.

Carl and Sam have been out beating today so I have been tackling the fields and the lake of poo that has accumulated.  It is not all clear yet so tomorrow will be a busy day.  Carl is preparing himself for a mammoth fencing operation which Sam will be assisting with when he returns from helping out at Landrover Man's.

Anyone there?

Oh, it's cold here - freezing fog outside!  Things are not being helped by various holes in various walls - and now one of the windows is about to be taken out.

I attempted a photo or two this morning but the misty fog made them not my most successful pictures - there are alpacas in there somewhere!

The hedges were looking very pretty but that was about all you could see by the afternoon.

Sam's taxi for Kingston Maurward couldn't make it over the hill this morning so I had to take him into Sturminster to meet the taxi and it was a bit of a dodgy trip back up Bell Hill - strangely, it had been alright going down earlier.  It did give me a chance to take the fecal samples into the vet - we are doing our routine sampling to check for any nasties which we can treat accordingly.  I had to follow Greeves around for ages before he performed but it was essential I got a sample from him so we can see where to go next.  He has started  gaining weight again and he is really gorgeous, bit of a mummy's boy though!

Now I have to go as the dog has been sick on the floor.
