Hi cris
Feel still abit washed out so will make it quick.
Appogolies for not being in your pocket but i was thinking about you.

I am so glad the results wait is over and that you have the midline.

The new sheep will have now arrived and I hope she settles in well (or is that they)
And be careful putting up that shed....
Sending hugs (((((())))) and hope you sleep well
love juliepf x

Morning Cris!

Was so pleased to know that you now have your results and that you are definitely going to be able to have the midline. Thrilled too about the new sheep! Sent the deer your way to help with the putting up of the new sheep shed. Hope he got there and didn't get sidetracked on the way!

Have given the bottomless tea flask a spring-clean and left it on the door step for you.

Lots love and ((()))s, Tilly xxx

Hello

I dont understand your meds stuff as i am new to all this, but i just love reading your thread and wanted to say can i have a sheep to keep my lawn short?

skezier

Hi Joan, Debs, Julie, Till and the Deer, Barbara and Nikki,

Well I did find one... just one as the others were gong to be a lot more money than the 100..... much bigger as well and then there was this little one trying to climb the walls....

Very wild and hell does she make her ladyship look big and old actually.... This one is some where around 6-8 but that's several years younger than the Wishity eh?

Its worked as well and wish was much calmer and so much happier.... though maybe a bit of a hard head and dominating which given her total confidence failure when Stamps died was good to see.

Joan please tell Sue she is called Breagh and she is! It means beautiful and the Cornish one is Teg so this is the Scottish Gaelic version and much better than Teg eh?!

The bones are stuffed and the shed is on a go slow but it will get there preferably before it rains as all the wood is here and it would go up better dry eh?

Got some photo's of the last one as a template as they will be very similar...... if not the same..... ie not fully straight and a bit rough round the edges

I will have t get it sorted and all i need is one day that bones don't kick me about.... well.... that's not happened for the last 20+ years so I must be due one day eh?!

Tilly the Deer arrived and is helping to calm Bre down... she is very feral and a double stamp foot girl... makes me smile that Old stamps would have been proud to know her new sister is at least as bad as her

Its too soon for her to like chocky but she does like sheep nuts so I do have a bit of a bribe there......

Debs they will have t keep an eye on this one... I wonder if they will and with no sedative they wont be for sure!

Barbara nope she isn't sheared yet but her bum is done so its a bit easier to do with a way in... she isn't going to stand quietly is she?

Julie had to just be the one... and she wasn't the friendliest but she was the most scared and given how bad they would have had it ... well it seemed she was the right one really..... hard though to choose knowing the others were to die......

On Nikki they are indiscriminate in their lawn mowing.... and overzealous pruning is by way of the normal as well... that said... they are one their way

Hope everyone has a good Easter and are doing okish just now? Cris xxx

bertyboy

Hi Cris hope all's well i do like the name you've given the new wooly one , and once shes settled down i am sure she will be a real character , please try and rest inbetween the knocking nails in the shed x

skezier

Hi Berty,

Oh she already is... will email you some pics and its in her face.....

She does the head up double stamp i am so used to but this one... this one is wild in a way my old stampy could never have aspired to..... you wait.... she is pretty though... is it ok to call a sheep pretty......

The bones,...... big dummy spit over digging still but well they have to get on cus they wont put them selves in and it will be worth it.... with more windows this time but a better overhang and guttering....

Hope your doing ok by the way>? Oh one of the mares (Flower) is bagging up.... will need more names though i still await a Willow and it will be her that has one I think and I got another name in back up..... ((((( ))))) and a cuppa Cris xx

Think I have done this right.....

Hi Cris

have a good weekend.
joan xx

skezier

Hi Joan,

Its a good name for her and it pronounce Breea. A friend of mine came up with it before I got her I think it was before... but you know what she is pretty and it so suits her

Oh Joan I couldn't over do it just now... I really am so tired and so stiff and so sore... and the cold reinfected yet again.....

Wish had her antibiotics and I did think..... well... we are the same weight

To be de-snot monstered...... (Lynn sorry it gets about this morph )

You have a good Easter and you up for the foaling that's really looking no more than 10 days away.... if that..... Love and hugs to you both. Cris xx

annie_mial

Hi Cris, Happy Easter to you, glad to see that you are going onwards and upwards even if it is slightly! Good news about the midline.

Near foaling time, eh? Could I suggest Aspen for a boy?

Hi Cris

Happy Easter to you. ( trust that Annie to say it first. She knew I had done one on the chat side)

I have not caught up with you properly but hey the pictures were nice and now new foals coming.

At last they mid lined you. That was a long wait but it is done. I hope it makes you a little bit more comfortable.

Aspen, Annie why Aspen? Can't we wait and see them first? She Cris she knocked me out the way to get here. But she had forgotten about my brolly, ha ha.

Cris, will text you but you try and have a Nice Easter.

Will that be a large builders for you and a coffee for me???

Love and (((((((())))

Hi Trish and Annie

Good to see you both it really is

Annie I know things are shift for you flower and just wanted to leave you a (((((((((( )))))))))) and a hope it will get easier for you. Love and will see if an Aspen turns up...... we going to go for a theme this year?

you have a good Easter my friends and so nice to see you again xx

Hi Trish,

Oh so good to see you!Hope things have improved a bit and the mtx is starting to work?

They just put mine up to 25 but the jabs are so much better than the tablets.

Sadly one less foal Trish...... Little Mule slipped hers..... horrible life shampoo is still on the shelf and I feel like I have turned into a sexton!

Will send you some pics of bre... she rally is a handful but pretty and it was so hard to decide which to save until i saw just how scared she was..... I just couldn't bare the thought of her having so much panic..... could break my heart over the others mind.....

Breagh is such a good name for her....It really is cus you know what she is and Wish is so much happier... that matters.....

I tell you what though Trish... it will be so good to have them home and the shed... well as soon as I can get this useless pathetic body to work for me.....

Leaving you a hope that Easter will be special for you and Bill as well as 2 coffees and some yogurt and ice cream... with a bit o'f 31% fat cream Its all a good combination

Hugs and hopes Trish. Love and so good to see you. Cris xxx

bertyboy

Hi Cris just seen the piccy and what a treat it was thank you , shes lovely , hope you are as ok as things allow , and hoping you have a good easter hugs a bundle xx

skezier

Hi Julie, Barbara and Berty,

sat here looking out the window..... Mule might still be in foal..... that's would be twins and would account for the slip... mind... she might have lost the wrong one and mares are singularly unadapted for multiple births...... will have to see as it could be grass belly I am looking at..... Just it looks a bit too rounded for that.....

No sign of milk though...... she would be due around the time Flower is ie somewhere between the 5th and the 10th may.....

I had hell getting out of bed today... so stiff and so much pain I couldn't get my legs to move and couldn't get off my back... too much digging.... It means the shed might not progress beyond the 4 posts already in for today.... will have to see how I ease off.

Got the pyskie knots out of Flowers mane... If I ever catch the little horror's for this one i will ear clip than pyskie or not!

Terminal insanity might be how to survive a stiff hurting day and I thought I would share

Hi Julie,

Got me bored and speedos.... come on but we can do better than Watergate this time of year (its all crawling with emmets and Visitors )

You ever cougrt the waves? I used to surf, never very good at standing up though and really i played being drowned with bored strapped to the leg :roll: I was a mean bodysurfer though......

((((((((((( )))))))))))) an a coffee coming back to you with a hope you and your OH have a good Easter. xxx

Hi Barbara,

She is really nice..... she let me touch her last night with only one foot stamp I can't help thinking Gotley would so approve of her and to know Wish isn't fretting and so lonely has made me feel better but.... be a long time before I am over Got or Hope or even Ilk......Just well I need to get another as 2 isn't a good number when one is so old.....

Bre was lucky as a flock sheep to have lived till she is beginning to turn grey! She looks so like my little Sqeeks and well to see her trying to go up the wall, knowing their fate.... I couldn't leave her there.....

I still so bad about the others..... Hard isn't it? Mind he is culling out again in June and i might go back or get a store lamb... and when they are home a real lamb

Might let you lot name her... or there again she might get saddled with some ridiculous name Bre was saved from cus i did have That'l Do as back up

Hope your doing ok and leaving a special happy Easter bucket. ((((( ))))) xx

Hi Berty,

You will see her soon eh? She is small and lithe and well that will make her difficult to handle but quicker to do if you see what I mean?

She is a real Shaun type being a Suffolk mule...... so many are from her time. he did have a selection of mules but the way she behaved just upset me.... now I have to tame her.... i wonder if I will?

You have a good Easter and hope the sun is shining there? ((((( ))))) xx

Right I must get this useless hulk to move about so a quick bop....... or something

psyart

Hi Cris ~ thanks for the message on my post ~ spec cause you are going through a rough time at the moment. Hugs for you.

You never forget a family pet ~ no matter how long since they have gone. I still remember the day I had to put my 17yr old dog to sleep ~ was the hardest thing I had to do ~ the right thing for him but not for me

Hope this lovely sun is making you feel better :?: the worring thing is ~ is this our summer :?: :?: but keep going with those bellows ~ I will keep it up over here

Take care my lovely ~ share a cornish ice cream with me & cream :?:

Hugs and love

Hi Louise,

Hey you are good to share one of those You ever had one of the triples from P'Porth? they ate incredible but very filling... and hate to think what they cost now as well

I got one for the sheep and they didn't like it I kinda thought they would.

Oh flowr I find the sheep are so hard to get over.. I think cus \I maybe have a bit of maternal instinct and wasn't allowed to have kids? They are so dependant and though Stamps wasn't bottle raised she was so ill I spent hours helping her to drink and we did have some bond.

They are also so big.... in size and as part of my life. She was such a character.... but... I think Bre is as well actually

I so hope things are a little better for you and the stress levels you have have come down a fraction? Maid you hang in there and oh its so nice to have sun.....

was doing the posts today ( I managed only 2!) in a vest and might get a bit of real lizarding done tomorrow with luck Its so nice but you're right.... summer will be iffy again as like as not. We had 5 bad ones in a row....

Hay this year was even worse than last and so ....... show week might be good ....

Leaving you a ((((( ))))) some saffron, hevva and just cus its you yogurt, ice cream and the 31 % special happy Easter Maid. Love Cris xxx


Oh this back of mine.....

Wont rant but ti really is hitting new levels of pain... its just not happy at all the digging..... Got help with the shed next week..... got to get the posts in though cus he can't dig......

You all have a very



leaving a bucket of hugs, another of stamina and fortitude and a giant skip load of hope for you all xxx

Morning cris.....happy easter

Sorry that you are hurting so much with all the hard work you are doing.

Glad to read you will have help next week with the shed.

Surfing.....well ok not quite....We (rich & I) would never have mastered the boards.....but like you had real fun on the belly boards and could ride quite a way. Was so much fun. (didn't need suits in them days either).

Well its a bit cooler today, had thunder and rain yesterday so the air is fresher.

Have a goodish day and I hope your pain subsides a little.
Take care
(((((((()))))))))) cuppa and here....a easter egg too

Love juliepf x

Hi Tilly, Barbra and julie,

I am next to useless today.... Didn't do the sale cus i couldn't again..... This L2 thing is really hitting me and hell knows what its up to.....

Its got a bulging disc there for some reason though they took the rest from there out they only pulled that one back and trimmed it... I so wish they had taken it and L1 which is dehydrated..... Then there is the extra bone growth and I don't whats making the pain but its central and takes my legs out..... Not so easy to do the posts today and I thinking a take it easy day is probably best.....

I really am so sick of this.....

I can't give up my way of life cus I am nothing without it and yet this c****y spine is really getting in the way.... I am about to declare all out war on it cus you know what I didn't give it permission to lodge at me so .....

Sorry i am on a bit of a downer... Gotley has left a huge hole and well I just am a bit down ...

and hating the arthrtisis! The oa is hurting and banging the pa is trying to out do it....

Oh Tilly Miss L Legs has got her hard hat and boiler suit on ad is prodding both me and the employers to do some work.... she has even got the Deer with a hammer in his mouth.... she is a formidable character that Miss L Legs....

Ta for the tea and you know what I could do with a sit on that bench eh?

Hey I feel like the bottom Chick today (((((( )))))) xx

Barbara she is so sweet... feral but sweet.... Her ladyship is actually closer to Breagh than she was Got already and to see Wish have her confidence back is so good.... I was so worried about her and well the vet will be coming out this week to do a total mot on them both... I really don't want surprises....

Hope you and your hubby have a good day. ((((( )))))) xx

Right come on then Julie lets go catch the waves! Be good wouldn't it? We got the beaches here, i got the space so back to all the folk that wish to camping here and we take over a beach for the day. Then in the evening we can have my rave

You and rich have a good day flower and leaving an endless hug bucket and a hope your ok about the neck thing? ((((( ))))) xx

Right bit of peas and starting to feel a bit better.... snoop dog now if anyone wants a bop
