Sunday 29th March ’20
Hello peeps, tis I ‘Hicci Hiccup’, welcome to our ‘paca world again. As hoped ‘His Lordship’ has got his thumb out of his wotsit and his brain out of neutral and let me come chat with you again without waiting months! So.…….. hasn’t life changed somewhat since last we chatted, well not for us really, we do not seem to suffer from your strange ‘virus’s’ but then You don’t suffer from Liver Fluke or Coccidia as we can so fair’s fair! We are kept in ‘lockdown’ in our fields most of the time anyway……..unless someone (no names mentioned) leaves a gate a tad open, we don’t miss a trick given half a chance! We will miss having any visitors for a while though, our tourist office visits starting in April have been cancelled and even worse our trip to the Alpaca show at Easter has been cancelled……we were all looking forward to that, even though I wasn’t going we all get involved and there is a good ‘buzz’ around the place in the lead-up. Oh well, wait and see what happens. Talking visits, our most recent was by Retromobiles club of Limoges who came to share some time with us, unfortunately only photo’s of the cars outside were taken…….head honcho not paying attention again, poor organisational skills from upper management leading to failure of basic working practice. ……….err, did I mention that I am now also the union representative for our alpaca farm? Oh yes, going to keep them on their toes from now on, it’s about time!
a good mix of shinny motors, can you play ‘name the makes?’
There was a nice delivery two weeks ago……….
A lovely lorry with sparkly new blue tractors!……. unfortunately not All for us, ours is the small blue bit at the back below the orange back bucket on the rear tractor…….. can you guess what it is yet?…….
Yup, it’s a foreloader to go on our sparkly blue tractor, someone (you can guess who) has just got to work out how it clips on……..err, I’ve just been told that it might need more than just clips to hold it on and there will be lots of messy hydraulic oil to squirt out all over the place when he discovers that he hasn’t done it up right….ha ha, should be entertaining! . We also had another delivery two weeks ago…………
Kiska gave birth two weeks early to her baby girl, named ‘Elowen’, she had very forward bent front legs, but after a week they have straightened out well. It is tempting to put her legs in splints to straighten them out but by doing that you stop her using them properly and strengthening the muscles, so ending up with weak legs……..it’s always worth being patient and give nature a chance to sort things out first.
She’s a little cuttie. This years theme for names is ‘trees and types of ‘, ‘Elowen’ being old Cornish for Elm tree. See you do learn something from us ‘pacas by reading this rubbish!
Also in the news and much to Lorca’s delight mating us girls has started now………..
Are you sitting comfortably Celeste?….then I’ll begin. Now here’s a little aside…. Celeste has spent the last eight months spitting at any male that came near and telling us all that she is pregnant to Godswell JJ back in July………then earlier this week when Lorca came to us and mated Blaze she came and sat down next to them, saying that ‘actually I’m not pregnant’……..what game is she playing, just enjoying herself?
You’re an ‘ol tart Celeste……….. go girl!
