It's been a quite week. I had a go (with disappointing results) at using my Sukie iron-on transfers. Kitty's bear top was the only acceptable item, and this still has quite a faded appearance. The rest were just rubbish. I don't think my iron gets hot enough.
I made a new rubber stamp which doubles for valentines and anniversaries (Happy 1st Anniversary Mr & Mrs Khan! have a great holiday).
Rei has had a nasty accident (the squeamish - look away now).
He caught his ear tag on the fence and ripped his ear in two. He has had some medicine and lots of tlc and seems ok, despite the horror of it. I never liked those ear tags, it juts seems barbaric. Both of poor Rei's ears are now scarred by the stupid things. They are actually a legal requirement for livestock like cows, sheep and goats since foot and mouth, but I will now be part of the campaign to change this. I can almost understand that animals like this need to have ID, but a tattoo or microchip would be much more humane. Plastic tags are just hideous and cause pointless suffering for farm animals.
On a more pleasant note, Kitty loves goats and books so today we bought her four nice story books. My favourite of which is 'Tell Me a Story Mummy' which is about a little goat called Salsa who can't sleep. Bargain - four books for £5.00 at The Works.
Peahead had another gig on Friday (a friend took a picture, but it's tiny). I couldn't go as babysitters are pretty scarce around here, but all went well and apparently there is interest from the organiser of the Wychwood Festival for them to play. Keep your diaries free the last weekend in may, as it's a great family event by all accounts.
