Thank you Pam for keeping me in the quartet, I miss you guys soooooooo much.

Sorry to hear about Deans problems and I hope the attorney thing resolves itself soon so they can get on with the move and life. Just think the packing and moving bit is temporary, the pool part is on going once you get there. It does frustrate me how long it takes to get these things sorted, I am sure they hope we will all just give up!

A little update:

Mum is deteriorating, it doesn't seem a day goes past without a medical appointment of some kind, but she is still trying her best and Ann and I love her to bits. If only that were enough.

When I have the time and weather the farm and dogs take the rest of my time. I haven't ever been good with engines but have recently changed the transmission oil and filter on the tractor (which got rid of that nagging warning light on the dash) and am currently working on a strimmer (think you call them weed whackers) which might not sound much but it's a very steep learning curve for me. And necessary for financial reasons whilst I can't be getting out to earn a reasonable income. I must admit to feeling rather proud of myself and have been beaming from ear to ear at my minor achievements. I do enjoy having a new challenge and learning a new skill, even if it is minor to others.

The pigs are all enjoying themselves, or at least have been as I have two new litters in the last week, one of 8 piglets and the other not sure as the sow is being very protective at the mo and I don't want to disturb the bonding process, she will show them off when she is ready.

My babies (the dogs) are doing fine even though they are pushing the boundaries as they need more attention than I have time to give but that is only to be expected and will be rectified as and when.

I hope Jill, papa, Kianna and the whole family are copping well and trying to get some enjoyment out of their lives. I know how difficult it was when my father passed some 16 years ago now and don't know how I will cope when the time comes for Mum.

Did my boar come flying over with all those wonderful, healing and positive thought and feelings?

On a more cheerful note, I will try to get my email sorted asap so we can all chat more.

Love to you all,

Sue x
