Today Eric started as a solicitor.
One of the 2 partners went into hospital with chest pains and had some minor cardiac surgery so is not going to be there as much as Eric expected. He came back for his first day today. I think it has shaken them all up a bit. It seems that Eric has made a good first impression. He was given some files to review and came up with lots of comments and was immediately given something more "meaty". I was teaching in Hamilton and out the house from 7am until 5.30pm. We probably were like any other normal family but it was very strange for us. The girls have been advised that they are going to have to pull there weight and we are all going to have to be more organised. Quite a big adjustment for us all I think. Still just ubntil I retire!!!!
Eric has spent the entire weekend in pain having had another episode of gout. He found it almost impossible to walk on Friday/Sat and spent the entire weekend sitting, butchering our last pig and making 80lbs of sausages! He has given chorizo a go and they are very nice. He squeezed his poorly swollen foot into his brogue this morning and was glad to be sitting most of the day at work.
Some bits of news from Cedar Lodge from this last few weeks...
Freckles produced this beautiful bull calf.
One of twins but the heifer calf died. And Carol produced this absolutely gorgeous heifer calf:
Carol do you want to name her?
We have had so much rain that we had a lake in the front paddock again:
It lasted so long that these moved in:
Eric was forbidden to shoot them!
That's all I have the energy for at the moment.
