Adult Baby
Arrived at my flat, washing machine is knackered in that my clothes are more dirty [from flow back] after washing cycle than they went in; I am assuming neighbour's ABDL nappies are to blame for a flat block drain blockage.

Dark Waters
Last night, I fell asleep about 10pm, too tired to remain awake to care for the wee twin lambs. News came, one died the other survived, it took 2–3 hours for the lamb's temperature to normalise to enable feeding of vital colostrum.
Border Reivers
We visited the Reviver's festival in Hawick, catching the tale end of the procession we walked to the castle mound to observe this re-enactment festival of the Scottish Borders.
Eildons
Today I accompanied Charlie to his appointment at Borders General Hospital (BGH); he wanted me there and I get that, as I've only ever attended hospital on my own.
Daffodils
Another morning at the farmhouse, it's been weeks since I stayed more than a few days at my flat, but lambing is almost over.
Longtown
We're in transit most today, transporting ewes and lambs; our grass keep is ready 1st of April, it will be a relief to have some peace from the endless jeering of sheep.
Mountain Biking
After feeding the cade lambs I took my mountain bike for a ride through the Borthwick valley.
Lambing
This morning I woke to the sound of Sam the Sheep dog barking, peering out of three windows I saw nothing unusual, but through the forth window I discovered a mother ewe licking her newborn lamb, now there is only three ewes left to lamb.
Poly tunnel
The rain relentlessly poured down this morning as though the sopping drench would never dissipate.
Lambing
All lambs are well, we've had a shortfall of chaff, so are purchasing lamb and ewe nuts for the flock as an addition to bales of haylage. We have just under three weeks until the flock goes to grass keep; I will be relieved to see them go, the farmhouse is noisy as hell.
Rook
Bird settled on power lines beside the farmhouse study, few feet away from me.
Lambs
We have half a dozen cade lambs, more than last year, this is significant considering there has been a reduction in the flock this year.
