I've found a new therapy. It started with blackberry. I never get to see the blackberries; the birds eat them first. There was a huge patch, and I managed to trample down a path through it. Months later, the path was still there. So I thought it might be worth trampling the rest. Great way to deal with frustrations. I then moved on to thistles. No idea why the Scots like them so much and brought them here, but armed with a spade, I've cleared half the farm. Keeps you fit too. I haven't had to touch the bicycle for a while.
Three lambs and a sheep in the back garden. Nibble is doing well, and enjoys bursting into the house and ... nibbling. Bronwyn found the others in the paddock yesterday, and decided to bring them in to keep an eye on them. Just as well; it's a very wet night tonight. We've lost a couple and given one away, but it looks like we got off relatively lightly from the toxoplasmosis.
Hopefully the roof holds. We had a team round to repair the roof today; they were going to replace a few bits and rust proof some areas. Don't think they finished; we've had rain on and off today. They moved the drainpipes to avoid getting paint in the tank. One pipe fell off. Bronwyn decided to put it back on, and got rather soaked!
