Ferret

Domino the ferret turned up home today, he seems to have had a great time on his adventure, he had a nice full tummy, and just wanted to climb into his nice warm bed, and now hes sleeping.

Weather

This week has been the most wonderful week to see the Northern lights, the sky has been lit up, with lots of different colours. Friday last week Domino the ferret escaped out of his cage, at the moment the whole of our island is keeping a look out for him, hes proberly having a great time up on the heather hill catching rabbits and not in the slightest bit worried about what he is putting us through, i will keep everyone updated.

STUFF

Today has been really horrible gale force 9 winds, i was supposed to be on the plane to Aberdeen but after 2 hours bumping around on the Kirkwall runway and not getting any where, it was decided to get everyone off the plane as it was not safe to fly, by now it was 11am and the plane should have left at 07.40am, all planes were grounded so i gave up and came home, but first i had to get accross the barriers, they had huge waves comming over. I am now booked to fly next thursday(i will get my christmas shopping) All the sheep and lambs are now wormed and toe nails trimmed ready for the winter, the ram will be going in with the females on 1st dec so this should make our lambs due on 1st may 2011. Snow flake and Diamond the shetland ponies are due their foals in March and April of next year.

November

Gosh its cold and very windy, the churchill barriers have been shut since 09.20am and only opened at 15.40, gale force 9 winds, not nice!! We have 2 new additions, 2 lovely little fluffy chicks, they do not have names yet. All the other animals are fine, Iam just getting Puzzles winter pony coat cleaned ready for her to wear, she will not be happy as she does not like it, but with her been so old she needs some extra protection.Vinnie has been in trouble again, last night, he got into our christmas stash of food that i have been gathering up, he ate a giant jumbo bag of crisps, a lovely mess of crips wrappers every where.
Today we are getting all the sheep and lambs in as they need to be wormed and given their vitamin boosters for the winter,plus lots of toe nail trimming(lovley) the sheep will then be moved to new fields and mum and babies seperated, so their will be some noise for a few days.
