Coffee & Cake Shop Chat

Just checking in as well. The cob has gone onto new rested for two years grazing. She will not notice she hasn't seen me for a week.
She is so advanced she texted me.

I have never been apart from her for a whole week. The last five day holiday I took her with me. :D I think that's possibly four years ago.

Just had soup, that's actually pretty much my norm. I usually eat at the yard and something that you can put water on is quick and cheap. I don't actually eat bread.
@Jane&Ziggy I will eat yet another cob banana, but she's got her new grazing so I think that's a fair deal. She wouldn't be getting the fruit as well.

For those of you on here who go out for the daily exercise what do you actually do? If I walk I go somewhere, there is no where I go. Its a horseless hack!

It's good she's being distracted with fresh rested grazing, that will keep her occupied :) my exercise was chasing pissing Guinea fowl, I'll give the full story on their thread!

Timed my walk when the police helicopter is doing its edge of town fly round and checking the volume of traffic in and out.
I am heading out of the village, but I can see way way too many cars on the roads still. :(

As i have the animals i am able to go do as necessary. Which means i have to go out more than once a day. But i am being sensible. Looking away as i come across people. The sheep sheds are about 800 metres away down the road. I could avoid the road and go down through my fields and back up, but as there steep i dont want to risk slipping over or put my foot down the rabbit holes. So for safety i am walking the road. This morning I took a nice walk out to the field with one dog, took rugs off the horses then walked down to the other field to go and wind up the electric fence i had to put up a couple of weeks ago when my neighbour rang to say could i possibly put the horses next to her stables for a night. They had sold there 2 ponies and the new one they got a month ago was stressing because it had lost its new friends. They had a shetland coming for company but had been let down last minute. So i helped them out. So had to whip up a temporary overnight paddock. Went to take it down this morning for my exercise, as we need to chain harrow the field in the next few days and its in the way. Then walked up to feed the sheep. I did walk back up the road but kept my distance. Well tried to one couple walked side by side past me, dog came barking at us. I was almost in the hedge trying to distance myself. The next couple i saw were sensible and actually went single file to get past me.
 
I just cracked open the Belgian chocolate biscuits - and had a few with a cup of tea. Every morsel counts lol
Hope everyone is staying sane! lol (well some of us that haven't already turned :eek: :p :cool:)
 
I took some photos while I was out so thought I would share.
He needs a name, and I may need help ha ha.
But to be honest we all need something lighthearted to get through what is mostly a bizarre day.
Everyone has a way of coping, and this is just a bit of fun.

Day 2/21 I'm bored stupid, bored of watching crap on TV and bored of fighting with my work network to let me work. Annoyed I'm snacking too much, drinking just cos I can and through it all feel like I've achieved bugger all. Least the sun has been shining but I feel guilty if I go out in the garden or to the horses because I should be working. Bit of a meh day in all.

Yeah I can associate with that feeling too. My work has sort of disappeared somewhat. I feel torn between cleaning, cleaning or sweeping and sweeping. However, for Storm it's been a good day - as she's had extra walks and extra nibbles in hand. Plus her usual wanderings about the yard. I am not snacking as much as I could but that's only due to being thrifty and trying to spin the grub out!
 
I am so looking forward to my evening meal. We're having a chicken casserole that T made yesterday (better cooked twice). Am famished! lol I don't know why I am so hungry......................well I do, but it's made me realise how much I eat normally when I'm not actually that hungry:oops:
What's everyone else had / having?! Something good I hope.

Just had breast of lamb all crisped up on top, done in a pan with onions, peas, potatoes, and normally baked beans but someone accidentally got spaghetti hoops so a can of those chucked in.
Ive been vamished all day. Will wait till tomorrow morning to see how much more weight ive lost.
Ive actually done some paperwork today. Thought i better write up my work hours for the last few weeks. Before i get out of work mode. Also notified my clients that i am pulling the plug on work whilst we we get through this.
 
I did download one of those apps this morning that you can use your phone camera to aim at constellations and it tells you about them so I do plan on playing with that once it's dark :)
Best description because I have limited sky access. I am not leaving the property to do this. In front of me was the photo I posted, so I think Orions Belt is behind me.
I can't get it on the app because there is a building.

Forgive me for being stupid, but does this work in the daytime, but would show things in a different place? Got I am lacking in fresh air aren't I, I can't think straight.

Morning all of you :)
Sorry I was awol yesterday, we had some quite devastating news and I was just too upset to come here, but, today is a new day, the sun is shining and I feel good.
Just had my morning coffee and resisting the urge to demolish the orange drizzle cake I baked yesterday, I am happy to share a virtual slice with you all though :D
Today I’m doing banana and caramel loaf, I’ll be the size of a house by the time we come out the other side of this!
