Cerys wasn’t looking very well on Friday, she’s not ill just looking off colour, so she’s now living in the kitchen with Lucy. Just before Christmas, or it might have been Christmas Day itself, me and mother were standing looking at Lucy Lamb and Baby Berry happily chewing their cud in the dinning room and mother said, "This is only normal in our house." A few minutes later ‘Da Boy’ came in and said "what you looking at?" and mother repeated herself and ‘Da Boy’ said "What?!" and mother nodded at the sheep and ‘Da Boy’, the one who out of all of us trys to be as ‘normal’ as possible, said "They’re just f’ing sheep." Yes, and I’m sure there must be someone else out there who finds having half grown sheep living in the kitchen/dinning room of their house something to not even worth giving a second thought to.
I’ve moved the quail chicks out of the brooder and into an indoor cage, they seem more than happy with it. They could be laying from any day now really, they still seem a little bit small to me. I tried giving them some cress but they didn’t understand that it was food and have just kicked it around the floor of their cage. Mind you Mable (the guinea-pig) didn’t eat hers either. I’ve order some more eggs to incubate to hatch at the end of this month.
B&Q have seed potato’s on special offer, very nice timing considering my idea the other day. I really do need to find some time to do some gardening some time soon. I brought a load of garlic from the supermarket to plant out the other day, yes I know that’s something that you’re not meant to do but I’ve never understood why, there is already some started off in the ground and a few in pots. There’s loads of onions to go in and a load of spring onions to go in as well.
