6 boys

Yes, new goat sorting: 6 boys 2 girls... never mind.

... well, blisters... you can see Anais's hard-worked hand! The thick layered winter goat manure has been all cleaned out... hard work! Loads of stuff planted now in the poly tunnel, onions outside, even the top field is ploughed for sweet corn, Alan did a bit for Tahar, too, who decided to do a bit of gardening.

The "Old Stable" finished, got a fantastic carpet for it yesterday from the big Pecs sunday market, which was fun. Those adventurous guests decided not to be adventurous and cancelled "plans changed we are not going to Pecs" hm - maybe they've read my last week's harsh comments?? Who knows. There are some other bookings - our largest group so far - 10 bicycling Hungarians on the Whitsun weekend.
We also have some weird enquiries such as for a Rumanian group of - 50! Some websites seem to take the data from the ones where we are registered, but not quite accurately...

One of the little goats has gone today, to the owner of the (probably) successful billygoat, as per our agreement. Tonight will be the first separation of the bigger kids - so there will be a real milking tomorrow!

And when wwoofers walked back from the pub yesterday, they found a poor little piglet, only a few days old, in the middle of the foresty bit, far from any farm. It seems, that some stupid folk decided to leave the poor thing there. The girls hoped to warm it up and suckle it from rubber glove, but I'm afraid, it was too far gone - probably it had some sort of birth defect, too. So that was a bit of a non-happy ended excitement. I'm glad I didn't make a picture of it at the time when I thought we are going to own a piggy again...

I couldn't load the pictures yesterday, so the blog is posted a day later, the stable is even neater today than on the pictures, with the blue beds made and more books on the shelves.

The dry compost toilet is in the making, the siberian berry bush is flowering, the figs seem to be feeling a bit sorry for themselves...
