"Busy" doesn't quite cut it any longer. Even "busy as buggery" falls short.

To the day:
Knickers does earlies feeding round, I get a lie in. Finally forced out of my pit by the overwhelming cute snuffly noises coming from the other side of the bed around 7:30am.

Make tea, go outside. Get rug on Xacra, very easy. What a sweet girl. Alfama; not so much. Two person job. Give up, turn out both girls together. Might sound silly, but never put out two horses together before. Sweet. Tea is cold. Arses.

Let goats out. Angie incites Gwen to try shagging her after bleating all night for a passing billy without success. Gwen gives it her best shot, but her efforts are ultimately unsuccessful. Stable duties: skip out and tidy four stables. Steam hay. Put hay out for girls. Put the goats away. Go in for breakfast. Make bacon butties all round. Coffee. And tea, to make up for the one that went cold.

Back out on the yard. Bring goats out. Put in pen. Angie attempts to gore Gwen and Gerry. Hmmm. Take goats to paddock with lots of thistles. Eventually they settle and at least one thistle is consumed. At last! Some payback. Knickers poo picks, while I undertake some temporary fencing in two paddocks, so we can strip graze winter grazing. Girls go out on paddock next to Q. Q pleased; girls nonplussed. Goats go in their shelter. Woot! Knickers and I drag wheelbarrow full of poo back to yard. Very very hard work. It's a mud bath next to the girls' shelter.

Lunch, and a sit down for 15 mins. Yowser.

Afternoon doings. Waters, haylage, let chickens out, clean out chickens.  Epic sweeping of yard. Work both boys. Prepare dinners and morning doings. Go in for a bit. Like, a whole hour!

Off to Pheel's house on top secret mission, involving cooing and snuggling. I've probably said too much already. Arrange for the perimeter to have stock proof fencing installed. No need to draw a picture as to why. Return with two pheasants.

Back from Pheel's. Temperature has plummeted. Bring girls in. This is a definite progress! Day 1: chase girls around for half an hour before coralling them in their shelter. Day 2: girls corral themselves in shelter within 5 mins. Day 3? Girls waiting at the gate :)

Feed round. Go indoors. Cook. Do blog.

Sometime during the next two hours: eat vast quantities and enjoy a small tipple of something suitable.
