The local shop donated more out of date food.

MMmm Looks like a pork stir fry.



Can you see the ears.  They are looking better but the black stuff is scabs from sunburn. I am pleased it is raining as it will give the ear time to heal.

Have you had your pig-flu shot yet Stu ? 

Or is the daily Mail being alarmist again ?

I'm sat in my oxygen tent just in case it's transmitted by forum.

Must admit as soon as i saw the news last night i thought of roughlee's girls straight away!

I have (sniff) heard of (chough) swine flu.  Not worried about it so far as it will only affect humans (what ever they are).

   I think most of us are safe then.

As long as your pigs wear face masks while they travel on public transport they'll be fine.

Now we know what treats to bring when we visit everyone  Will Little Lad be able to feed them Stuart?

(and we'll bring apples for the horse)

PS Dont forget he doesnt know the Fox got Birdo!

[Roughlee Handled]

Yes little lad can feed them.  They are friendly, though do lean against and rub you if you stand still to long, also will try and taste unknown footwear and clothing. Horses will love apples. So will pigs. I quarter them as they go further ( the apples not the animals).

Did I not tell you that Birdo and friends have moved out while there new accommodation is being built. 
The chicks will take his mind off Birdo, they are supposed to be hatching today and tomorrow.  So they will be really small plus have the ones that hatched on the 25th of March.  So plenty to distract him.
Not forgetting the two dogs.

Yay chicks! He will be over the moon at those, i will have to warn about curious little fingers 

And we will watch the parking of the van before we squash your furry friend
