After my lovely drive around the westside of Shetland yesterday, I did my afternoon rounds in the fields checking everyone was ok.
After the ponies, I went and sat with the sheep to see if Lambie could manage to talk to me. He did….. a little, but grudgingly.
I love this photo so much.
Good old Ted was with us but kept a respectful distance.
Monster found his spot.
And today, I saw my first orchid. Summer is coming. This is, I think and I could very possibly be wrong, a Heath Spotted Orchid.
And then I realised that I hadn’t wormed the horses and ponies, which was a job I’ve been meaning to do, so I went back around and wormed everyone including myself, my shirt, my trousers, the grass and possibly some equines. Kolka spat it out three times.
Vitamin was being a cowbag and refused to be caught so I ended up herding her into the small paddock and catching her in the corner. Some days, she is completely batty. I think it’s because I put a rug on Fivla when it suddenly started to rain and she thought she would be next.
And this is my List (I used the Shopping one as it was the only way to get Siri to “write” it down). I laughed when I saw what Siri thought I was saying, while having a valiant stab at trying to make sense of it.
Fila = Fivla
Tiles = Tiddles
Nude = Newt
Aldi = Albie
Who’s going to tell Newt he is now Nude?
