More nocturnal ramblings!

But don't worry he had a driasabone on this time - it was raining (nothing else just the coat!). Woke at 2am and Eric says 'I think Freckles has started'. Needless to say I couldn't hear a thing. He was adamant she was lowing. Luckily she was in the top corner of the front paddock so he didn't have far to go to check on her. He came back announcing she had just had a heifer calf!! It was much smaller than the other days calf so we were worried, in view of her enormous size, that she may have another one on board. This ensured we did not get back to sleep for HOURS!

These are piccies taken this afternoon.
Carol's bull calf sunning himself:

And introducing:




We need names. We are leaving the bull calf to Carol to name but I want a pretty girlie name for Freckle's baby. I like Daisy or Maisie. On discussing names at supper Harri said 'Jester because the mark on her face looks like a jesters hat' (?) To which Eric replied, muttering 'Looks like a target to me' Will he ever change?

On the subject of names Carol, I was going to follow your comment with "Jim Bowen?" Bully didn't mean a thing to me. Eric then explained and pulled out Stan's (?) Peter Kaye tape with his take off of Bullseye. Bully - Sorry No!

Eric is struggling and I insisted he take the day off uni today. He has pulled a muscle in his good leg and as a result his bad leg is playing up. I think he probably favours the good leg most of the time and now he can't the bad leg is taking more strain than usual. You may be thoroughly confused, I know what I mean. The consequence is he can hardly get around at the moment. I didn't remember this at 2am though else I'd have gone and investigated Freckles myself - honestly.

Now George, Carol etc. Less talking about 'shooting up' please, this is a family site!!!!

Off to get much needed beauty sleep.
