Got the girls penned this morning OK, while Pete went to fetch the three belonging to our friends Rhett & Martine. We put the lambs into one of the outbuildings while we were away, otherwise they would have broken out. However they probably have sore throats now, with all the frantic yelling. No time for photos during the process itself, but here are pictures of fleeces (lucky you can't see the ticks) and the now-slim girls. I am struggling now under the influence of the obligatory huge dose of pastis drunk down at high speed after the shearing, while we settle up (4 euros per sheep). I am starting to itch - must have a shower and check for beasties....
John came round yesterday and we got the levels marked out for laying the concrete floor in the Bull barn. Its a much faster process than fiddling about with a spirit level and ruler!
So, floor to go in as soon as we can organise it! Progress!
