Got the tabs and also some names :-)

More like life eh………

Been having to do two sales at the weekend as it’s not been the easiest of months this one.. will be glad to see the back of it to be honest.  That coupled with the eyes having a dummy spit and the bones being deprived of the oxy’s as its taken for ever to get a script BUT got one on Friday and oh it’s so much easier and better 🙂

Saw the gp and got the script and the tabs almost immediately lol. Man they work well.

Its been such a sunny week, all about hay is being made and the fears of having none this winter seem to be unfounded. I have to build a lean-to shed to store some in so will have to up the anti via the sale’s and try and get some more stock to sell as its going out as good as it can 😉

I have done a bit of work since getting the tabs and best of all I have had some help! Long ago I had a youngster most hols and weekends. She was a nice kid and now she is nice young adult lol.  Any way Yas and her boy have just moved near by and its so good to have help:-)

Oh and Alfie… he is 7 months old and so lovely but as big a time waister as the foals lol.

Talking of which………………………….. Meet Milly  It does suit her you know and Shelly Esmeralda is the sheep for sure and the others I think Ermentrude and Evelyn ……. what do you all think?  Those names (the other 2) came to me as I walked across the fields lol. Alba in tow of course lol. She is a heller and Flo though better with her, is still not 100% so we had to come back early. Lol it can get a bit eventful out in them fields……

Yas thought of Milly and its a good nane for her, simple and fits with Gypsy really. Glad she has a name though I really am.

Lil had to go to the vets… hot spots…. She really did have a go at it and as the un-proud wearer of a buster collar for a min but thankfully now its had a few days treatment and some respite from licking its so much better and she hasn’t got to wear the collar any more.  Am keeping an eye on Haz though as he too seems to be getting a bit licky at both him and Lil…. Not had hot spots before and well its like springer and I will never use a flea treatment that you can buy over the counter and begins with an F again…. back to good old stronghold cus it works!

The vets shaved off her areas and made them 6x the size, lol. She is looking so much better skin wise but its going to take a bit of time for the hair to grow back lol. I can not belive how ineffective the treatment she had to stop this was….. its working on some but not others and with the heat has come an explosion of grass fleas second to none and I have grass and they are always in it! Just done her a nice shampoo and vet style set, lol Haz too  he said with absolute disgust lol. I got the special stuff Pip used to have from the vets as well and it will sort out but feel like doing a complaint letter and sign it disgusted in Cornwall for how ineffective the other flea and tick thing was! The heat is a problem only cus we just are not used to it!

Mind I gone 5 shades darker and that’s a first for the last 5 years as the summers have been fill in the blanks lol.

Much as I hate the stuff I have had to resort to bared wire round the chicken bit….. It’s the only thing this lot of horses understand… I have tried everything but its the only thing that stops them.  Even the electric fence isn’t safe with them….. The want in to any area that they re not allowed to be in and they just walk through it what the it is. Not the bared though and I so hate it but they broke the hen-house doorway and it’s not good to have the risk of them making it no longer fox proof by night……. I do so hate the wire bit though.

I have put it high enough to not touch Alba and the horses owner uses bared so they do know what it is and well… I got the young chicks as well out in the make shift run and they need to stay safe as well.

They are two roadislands and pure breed for a change. I swapped a couple of bags of dog food for them lol, I love Cornwall. I need some brown egg layers and these will for sure.  I do like the legbars but there are now only 4 hens that lay brown eggs… these 2 will (hopefully they are both girls) will make it 6.

I have a hen sitting and she is on 2 blue eggs and 2 brown eggs so there might be some more brown ones there as well;-)

Right i been out with the camara as you will know lol and Pretty-ne has now well and truly met Aba lol

Milly

Was sat on the floor… Phoenix liked that lol

So did Mule lol

If you look at her bum the black is either that or very dark brown lol. What ever colour its dark lol

The rest is slower lol Its going to be dark and I still think black 😉

Clyde who still has the fluffy ears lol

She had to have the last word, lol.

You all take care.

One of those days….

You know the kind…..

I often end up sleeping on my back as i can no longer turn over without using the arms and kegs but my body is stupid when its asleep and doesn’t remember that…. I was watching a video last night and feel asleep watching it… I always do to be honest but…. I really am a great believer in distraction helping with pain so much.

Anyway at some point I vaguely remember the neck going for the paralysis pain thing it does and must have laid down not awake enough to know (or care) how I laid. This morning I woke in total agony. tried to turn over and fell out the bed as near as, lol. Got my feet down and used the bedside cabinet to get upright even though I knocked it over doing so….

A day that stars like that is often not the best lol.

The arthritis really has got my neck and spine so badly and it doesn’t take prisoners.. but.. nor do I. They are sending me to see a counsellor to try and help me to understand that there are better ways than all out war!

Then they say it’s the fight I have that ha carried me this far so which is right?! Maybe a bit between the two eh?

I have a hideous infusion next week as well…. Pocket duties are needed but its unpleasant and its also a nasty drug. It does work though as it’s for the circulation which I have and its riot so good with both acrocynosis and Reynard’s.

So going for the normal distraction tactic I went out into the fields with the camara…. and….

This makes taking pics hard lol. She has to be with me and does climb in my pocket as near as lol. She says she is, of course, very photogenic lol. I was trying to get one of her and also one of Flo who is no better and often I get both of them in the way lol. They are such lovely mares as well but most the pics I get of them are them walking towards me or so close you only get the eyes, lol.

They both have this habit of just walking through the shot as you press the shutter as well and I have so many of Primmy and Flo’s faces up too close every time…… Mind its nice they feel so lose to me in a way I guess.

Causing a bit of trouble with Phoenix though as Flower doesn;t want the 2 too close to her and I can’t go anywhere without them…

We will work it out somehow… lol I say no to them both, I even plead with them lol What it is to be so loved eh?! I think Flo probably gets closer lol. It’s an old camara, its got a good ability but a very slow response between pushing the shutter switch and the shutter actually working…. so I started with the sheep for some pcs….

Your ahead of me aren’t you?! Alba gets even closer than the 2 horses and to try and get some decent shots of her wasn’t easy but see how big she is now! Still not at her full size though she will be quite a bit taller I think….

Level with Bre as near as but Bre isn’t very big. Hey nor is our new girl either as I remember from the quick visit I did to the farm.  I think Wish is big as she was hand reared and they often are on a more balanced kind of diet vit and minerals wise. there is no fluctuation and also they might have more milk over all…… It’s hard to ignore them when they want a bottle for sure lol.

Hey in here as well is Velcro…. she loves to come with me and is actually what Clyde was watching….. Phoenix is looking good and will go that odd colour for a min I think as Clyde has and then black and white.  She could just darken but if you look closely the fawnish odd colour is starting already at only a week… mind I have odd eyes just now 😉

Bre said she wanted to be the last for a change lol. You all take care

 

The Cameo Page

Haz’ and Velc’s friend are closing in lol…..

First you have to have the delectable Didderly Dee…. She of the look down her nose and know what ever it is your have done …..you haven’t done it the way she would lol

I love the hair cuts… they are the in thing but don’t tell mine lol

Our girl is sober… Doris however….

Clearly over did it lol

Bruno often comes here…. but….

Its all just so boring lol

Little -Legs came last summer

She found it more interesting but (obviously) it rained…..

Caught being silly

Little-Legs being posh

Velc’s friend Daisy-cat the gardener

Watering is so important

Admiring her pawrywork

Then this is out new girl…. watch out for drunk Doris in the background lol. Then the lovely Little-Legs who came for a week last summer when it rained. Hey not as bad as today…. the weather out there is akin to mid winter not mid summer….

Velc’s gets emails from her gardening firend Daisy…. I think they are planning world domination somehow but have never quite caught them at it….. I wonder what their password is?! Lol ‘Feed me’ as like as not 😉

The bones are a bit better, the tooth and jaw are settlering and well you all get oyur coats and come help do up and get everything to bed….. you’re going to need brolleys. foul weather gear the lot….

You all take care and have better weather than is here

Oh and we need to think of a name for the new girl….. Mind it might be better to wait till she arrives and see what she is like personality wise… I still love that fringe.. yep she will fit in here just fine 🙂
