DAY 10 - EGG COUNT 3
Our BBQ yesterday went well, the sun even managed to shine for a couple of hours just at the right time which was a bonus. As usual, there was far too much food and what I didn't manage to send home with our guests is now piled up in the fridge. I'm hoping the boys will wade through it but I suspect the hens will end up with the leftover salads in a couple of days when the lettuce has gone brown and the tomatoes are a soggy mess. We had burnt sausage sandwiches for breakfast and are having chicken tonight wether we want it or not - I do hate to waste food.
All the animals are fine except for our little lady spaniel, Rosie who is in disgrace. On our walk yesterday, she rolled in badger's poo which, in case you don't know, absolutely reeks. We washed it off but she still smelt awful which was remarked upon by all our BBQ guests. So, today we took them on a walk where there is a stream knowing she would go swimming (most springer spaniels cannot resist water.) She plunged in up to her neck and we are hoping that's done the trick but we won't know until she has dried off. At the moment she just smells of wet dog which is slightly preferable to badger poo. Our man dog, Mack is revelling in all the attention because he is getting much more fuss on account of the fact he smells better - he'd better make the most of it as all could be quite different tommorrow.
