Do we speak the same language?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 1 May 13

We regularly have visitors here from around the world, and we were laughing earlier about the different ways that people will say the same thing. If I'm at the table and want the salt, for instance, I'll say 'please could you pass...

Inviting Friends Round

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 1 May 13

We're just packing away after an afternoon barbecue with local friends. Lots of food and plenty of beer were consumed and we had a pretty good time. Barbecues are almost always how we have friends over. I don't think we've...

Puppies (again!)

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 1 May 13

We've got eight absolutely adorable puppies at home again, nearly ready for new homes. I've got their photos all over Facebook and a couple of local people have heard through local word of mouth that we have them and have...

The Vet came yesterday

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 1 May 13

The vet came out to the farm yesterday to take blood samples from the goats for testing. Oh what fun! The vet took the samples whilst I held the goats. A couple of them were really good, but two particularly went bananas and the...

Prepping

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 30 Apr 13

I've read a couple of books recently on preparing for disasters, or 'prepping'. Do you have a disaster plan in place, somewhere to go in an emergency where you had to leave your home, extra stores or bags packed? Some of...

Ants in the Pantry

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 30 Apr 13

We've got ants in the kitchen again, and whilst I wait for the measures we've put into place to take effect, I'm fighting a losing battle to keep them out of jars. It astonishes me how they can get through a well fitting lid into...

Spring plantings

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 30 Apr 13

I've been working pretty much all day in the garden today and have managed to get all the chillies, peppers and aubergines out. What started off seeming like a simple job turned into a massive one when I realised how much weeding...

Snacking

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 30 Apr 13

I rarely snack, but on the rare occasional I watch a film in the evening, I do like those round savoury biscuits with one of my partner's home made dips. It's got to be such a routine that as soon as we plug the computer in I...

Rabbit Skin Glue

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 30 Apr 13

I've just been searching on the net for instructions to make a super glue strength glue out of rabbit skins. Amazing! I saw a video of two guys' weight being held by this glue. Someone told me about it so I looked it up, and...

Panic!

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 28 Apr 13

My partner is not the best person to have around during an emergency. In fact, if one of the kids injures themselves, I have to be as aware of him as I do of them. I have to calm him down so that he doesn't stress them further...

Cat Peed on the Sofa

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 21 Apr 13

My sofa is currently in the garden, with a hose pipe on it. When I got up this morning, I think one of the cats had peed on it overnight. I've scrubbed the offending area with soap, and it's currently sitting at an angle so...

Would you buy Something Broken?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 20 Apr 13

We've been looking for a professional sized wood chipper for a long time, but they're hard to find and very expensive. We have just taken the opportunity to buy one at a knock down price, BUT it's broken. The clutch is broken and...

Why are Bad Habits so Hard to Break?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 19 Apr 13

Why can't I stop biting my nails? I've done it most of my life, and, despite all my best efforts to stop, I still do it. Other people can't stay away from cigarettes, or being late, or cream cakes, or whatever. So why are...

Would Anne Frank have been a 'belieber'?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 15 Apr 13

Apparently there's a big rumpus because of a comment Justin Bieber wrote in the guest book at the Anne Frank museum in Amsterdam. He is said to have written [i]"Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl....

A Gold Shirt

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 15 Apr 13

I've just been reading on the news about an Indian man who has had a real gold shirt made worth £250,000 (that's about 383,000 US dollars). He can only wear it when accompanied by a security guard. Here's the story, with a...

Would you be cross?

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 14 Apr 13

For the last few weeks I'e been emailing back and forth with a teacher who I was hoping would run a course I'm organising over the summer. We had discussed many things, including the fact that I wanted the course taught in...

I found it!

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 14 Apr 13

A couple of weeks ago I was pretty upset after losing my partner's ring. You may have seen my discussion about it here. Last night whilst I was stacking firewood next to the stove I found it lying on the floor directly in...

Kitten disappointment

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 12 Apr 13

I'm a bit of a cat lover, and although I don't set out to breed them my little Siamese had fallen pregnant. Yesterday she finally went to her little box and went into labour. Sadly she only had one little kitten and it died almost...

She was Someone's Mother ...

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 9 Apr 13

I expect everyone has heard that the ex UK Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, has died. At the time of her death, she was an elderly lady who had been suffering from dementia for some years. I was out all day yesterday and...
