Or maybe that should be rambling block. Something is bunged up anyway. Maybe i need a squeeze. Or more fibre in my diet?
Maybe not a lot has been happening lately, I'm back on nightshift for one reason so becoming nocturnal obviously has a negative effect on your ability to waffle on the internet. Lambing is going well, with only one ewe left to pop before we have a little break before the next lot start. The number of cuddy lambs (ones raised by us, not their mothers for whatever reason) is blissfully low, however they are like a salvo of milk seeking missiles, whenever you open the gate to their pen you get mugged from the knees down by five small black wooly asassins hellbent on headbutting you into producing the white stuff.
I also have a new camera, well, actually its second hand, but its new to me. An Olympus C7070 that will hopefully allow me to expand my pictures. It has a great macro function on it regardless of what else it can do. I do need to get Ben at Scapa Scuba to make me a nice neoprene pouch for it when its in its not so little housing to go diving.

Bit low on the final approach there, Deckhand.

Oh, I like your muscovies ...! A drake and a duck, by the looks of it ... They seem to have light brown feathers underneath and gray ones on top, unless they've just been mud-fighting ...?!

After coming to Orkney in May 2006 for 8 months, somehow I am still here. Running the MV Valkyrie in the summer and helping on the farm in winter is now my life.
