Our wheat and barley seed was literally rinsed off our land due to this winter's torrential rain. It's too expensive to replant so we'll have no crops to harvest this year. And we'll have to buy in straw for our piggies, which will cost a fortune. Yet another financial hit.

I've insisted that @farmersteven gets a drs appointment this week. He's been tired, achy, coughing, full of snot since DECEMBER. "Oh no I'm fine. It's just a cold". He coughs all the time. ALL the time. "Leave me alone, it's just a cold". He's finally made an app. for Saturday.

Husband just popped in for a coffee. Anyone else have a tractor parked in front of their kitchen window?

Posh British people have ruined horses. Horses are cool and dangerous, but British people have made it all "Jocasta, how can you possibly hope to jump over a low down red and white pole with such a disorderly plait?" We should ride like gauchos. Scruffy and smoking rollies.

Gooseberry is now a very happy lamb! It shows what 4 days of antibiotics, hand feeding, heat lamps, chin scritches and intense pep talks can do. He's even trying to play - he still falls over when he goes too fast round corners but he's getting there.

Thanks to EVERYONE who retweeted, shared and gave advice. I think I've got a nice new local home for Gladys - a nearby farm/small holding. I'm so pleased! (And I'm sure Gladys will be too except she's nose deep in a sheep feed bag)

"mental illness used to be the ups and downs of life" No, mental illness used to be your mum taking to her bed for 20 years with what was euphemistically called "nerves".

Gooseberry is still with us. But he's been very poorly with watery mouth (pneumonia). He will however eat a bit of lamb "creep" (small feed pellets) and the odd wisp of hay. Mavis our collie is his biggest fan. He's not keen on me as I keep forcing him to drink milk.

Gooseberry was brought inside as his mum wasn't feeding him. He's blarting for his mum (& very well fed brother), and is immensely suspicious of me and my bottle of warm milk. We had a bit of a wrestle, I'm now milk flavoured and Gooseberry is sloshing happily round his pen.

Such a brilliant book @museo_ghosts - absolutely fascinating about the spirits in the museum (the weird double headed dog fetish object gave me the horrors) and the colonial objects that we stole in the 19thC
