Once again....

 
 
Well lambing season is here once again. Its cold and wet, and snow is even settling high on the hill tops. Once again the land is saturated and sheep are having to be moved to dryer fields that should be kept clear until later. Its a case of " robbing Peter to pay Paul " again this year. All is being gambled on some dry weather coming in the next 10 days. It will come as it has to. If not then we will see a mud bath and disaster. Its funny how this situation on a knife edge knife edge occurs most Springs now. Above are some lambs we are bottle feeding as their mothers are not producing  enough milk for them to thrive properly. We have so far 3 today, and maybe another tomorrow...

Chain messages..... Grrrrrrrr !!

If there is one thing I cant stand it's chain type letters or more accurately messages sent to me on facebook. I look in my message box too often only to find a complicated sequence of events I must pass on to umpteen other people " I know " in order to see some miraculous occurrence manifest itself upon me. This event has even been narrowed down to the next 30 minutes ! Wow, how do they do that, eh ? Must be old school magic....
  What really pisses me of further is when such a message suggests that if I fail to complete their silly task that it is a judgement on my attitude to them, the sender. What a load of horse sh1t ! It is a judgement on the sender that he or she feels the need to pressure me into playing their silly game, besides with all the viruses around at the moment such messages are just plain stupid and risky. And believe me when I say that I would never judge you on whether or not a chain message of mine ( should I ever send one ) was or was not acted upon. It is a silly idea given too much attention. I just ignore them. I also ignore the ones telling me to post things on other peoples behalf on facebook. Do it yourself. Its not my problem if you got blocked by someone you knew or even by facebook itself !!!  Got blocked for that post about 911 conspiracy you made ? NOT MY PROBLEM !!!
