A thread on Facebook has just finished with my brother posting this

Like the guy who drank so much when he was sick it started to come out of his.nose. At which point it was realised he had eaten spaghetti for tea. From that point on He was known as Zoidberg.

Can't decide which animals are the biggest pains in the backside....Sheep or chickens. (Or dogs)

All we had to do last night was a quick 'skip out' on the horses, and then pop down to the local Chinese restaurant and pick up a takeaway, courtesy of the MIL.

Interrupted while doing the horses, by the frantic sound of a chicken being savaged by the collie......Rescue chicken from bramble undergrowth......Catch chicken, and put it back in the pen.
Wash blood off hands from all the scratches  from the brambles.

Finish off horses.....Go and check sheep that had had fly strike....She's managed to get stuck on her side and been lying in the rain for ? long and was cold, shivery and exceeding wobbly on her feet.
Try and entice sheep in to the barn, with a bucket of feed.
No...She can't move well, at all.
Go and get wheelbarrow......Pick up sheep, and put in wheelbarrow.....Hold sheep down in wheelbarrow, while Mrs T steers the barrow.
Put sheep in stable....Go back and get another sheep as company for the poorly one. (It's peeing down with rain, all this time.....PAH !)

Mrs T 'towels off' poorly sheep......Get feed for them.

Order takeaway.

Eat late !

Whether the sheep survives ? Who knows ?.....But she's hanging in there this morning.

Cheers - Phil.

PAH ! (Sometimes). 

At least the poorly sheep seems to be getting better.

Cheers - Phil

That's good

You could try whispering "mint sauce" in her ear to encourage her to get better - the sheep not the MIL

On a completely different topic........

If he was still alive.....Freddie Mercury would have been 70 today. 
(Apparently, he's now got an asteroid named after him.)

Where does the time go.

I thought he had a PLANET named after him, God knows why.

[Techno]

A planet called Freddiemercury ?

You learn something new every day.

 Asteroids ??- very painful, you can get a cream for that

Aren't they caused by riding horses, in which case Phil must suffer something rotten.

I haven't sat a horse for about eight years ! (And have no intention of ever trying again.)

Last time I did, I got mighty close to breaking my neck. 

Served me right for sitting on it bare back, and with no reins of any description.
I got bucked off !.....It hurt.

That not a reference to your singing by any chance. Think the quote is "Too Loud, Too Often, and FLAT" courtesy of Flanders and Swann.

I bet it did!  If a horse did that to me, I'd be bucked off too.

I believe you should always wear protection and never ride "bareback", especially if its a beast you have never ridden before.
