Sarah -
When mucking out pigs and sheep in the rain - keep your mouth closed.(Yes is the answer to the question you are now asking yourself).
When throwing wet bamboo sticks and leaves (food for the above mentioned animals) - keep your eyes closed (as above).
Banannas are considered to be medicinal for sick sheep who are crippled through injury - 2 every hour (any runners out there?)
Mother chickens have 'teats' and can feed their own young. When you see a newly hatched chick (less that 24 hours old) pecking another shell in a threating manner it does not mean that the chick want to eat whatever is in there (too many 'naturewatch' programmes!).
Pigs are quite friendly, chatty little things. I think I'd like one when we get home (although not for eating).
Mucking out in the rain with no roof except for the animals isn't too bad when everyhere else feels like being in a suana with your clothes on.
END OF LESSONS
Today we are putting a roof on the stable that we are building. HOpefully we wont hae to construct oit out od bamboo leaves but who knows. Just as well I did 'O' level textiles and I know about waft and weave.
Guy is currently lazing about supervising the sharing of angry birds (a great invention for kids) as it raining :) At least its not too hot today.
It would be really great if some of you could leave a comment or two every now and then although I am not sure how to do it myself.. if I can find a way I will leave instructions on here
