My morning was spent watching my little car (Mum’s originally) pass it’s MOT.  Huzzah!  Great relief.  I do worry every time. It’s worse than a piano exam.

But I had a whole hour to myself and I was offered a wonderful cup of tea, free wifi and peace.

You have no idea what total bliss that was.  I almost didn’t go home.  I could’ve easily spent the day there watching random strangers cars go through their MOT.

But I didn’t so home and out with carrots to check the Ancients.

This photo made me hum Colonel Hathi’s song from The Jungle Book.

Wee dug came too, of course, if I could see her.

Later I was in my shed making the sheep in the middle.  The perfect Christmas present – just sayin’.  I have lots.

Afterwards, it was into the shed to muck out, dish out buckets and get the next lot of haynets ready.  One look at the old ladies in their pen made me decide to move them as it was getting grubby and smelly – they seem to be peeing for the Olympics.

So we closed off the adjoining pen to Waffle, Silver and Newt.  Yes, they get less room, but they get neighbours.

It will give the smelly pen a rest and I can cover it with fresh sand which will help.

Anyway no one seemed to mind losing a bit of their space if it meant they got to see their friends.  Fivla looked a bit unimpressed, though.
