Well so I’m told.
In my mind’s eye, the rest of the world takes it easy on Sunday…. maybe taking a stroll along the prom, walking to a nearby cafe for a late breakfast, sitting people watching, reading the papers. 🙂
Cos let me tell you around here it just never seems to happen! Today we spent the morning re-fencing a paddock in order to contain the current batch of escape artists.
Last Sunday was even more chaotic.
It started out fine, 7 participants came along to learn about pig-rearing. We had fun and chats, fed them lunch, talked food and pigs, drank tea, ate cake. They headed home.
We discovered another chick had been hatched – great excitement.
Our AirBnB guest arrived, and headed off to meet up with some people.
The bees swarmed. The swarm was caught.
Rush off to get new hive for them.
Return from that trip to find new chick half dead in yard – blame cats and/or dogs (more on that later).
Set up new hive and transfer swarm to it.
Look out window to see six young pigs in neighbours field. Grab bucket of feed and coax them back to base. Block gap.
Prepare dinner for ourselves and guest….. it was a late dinner 🙂
So how does your Sunday go?

Yep, we all have chaotic ones like that. My weirdest made a good blog story. http://deefer-dawg.blogspot.ie/2013/07/a-full-moon-and-mad-24-hours.html
Our past week has been chaotic, not with pigs escaping, we have not had that problem yet, and we don’t keep bees but we do keep hens, they are supposed to be in separate runs according to breeds, hens however have their preferences when it comes to the cocks, have spent the entire week rounding up hens back into their breeding groups only to find them in wrong runs on a daily basis we were ready to give up breeding pure breeds, with six different breeding groups it gets rather frustrating. Then the light bulb moment, leave the hens where they want to be and put the appropriate cock in with them. It worked, now why didn’t we think of that earlier?
Lord, I know what you mean…. sometimes you are so busy trying to get things done, you don’t have time to sit back and have the ‘light bulb’ moment! Good luck with your breeding plan.

Now that is a busy day!! We had a perfect day. We went to the zoo, then had a leisurely lunch. No dramas 🙂
You see that’s what I call ‘normal’…. oh how I wish we could sometimes do ‘normal’.
