Morning Mick and all from a very gusty, blowy Wiltshire. The rain seems to have stopped for now though but I hate the wind ?. I’ve attached a photo of Pinchy, who I wrote about yesterday with her poor wonky front legs. She’s a feisty character though and can almost self-feed now from the milk machine that I have (which keeps the milk formula at the correct temperature and has the teats attached to a board so that the lambs can feed ad lib). I’m giving her lots of practice at this as, once she can manage independently, I won’t have to go down to the shed at 4am to ensure she gets an early morning feed ( which will be a blessing!). 2 more of ‘the stragglers’ lambed yesterday, both single lambs, so only 8 possibles left to lamb. I think I’ll have a few more lamb as some of them get very excited when another goes into labour, which indicates that their maternal hormones are on overdrive.
Yesterday my mojo came crashing down and exhaustion caught up with me. Every bone and muscle seemed to be protesting, probably due to the clearing and cleaning frenzy I’d had the day before! As a result I was in bed by 8pm, leaving DH to do the nighttime checks and feeds. I’m feeling more myself today thankfully.
I’m pleased that your appointment went well yesterday Mick and hope that the monitor shows positive results when it comes off. Wishing the best Saturday possible to you all, especially those feeling worried or anxious.
