I slept in!

I got dressed in a hurry, put on my heavy boots & went outside to feed the #MudBrothers & their groupies. (The alpacas & the lambs)

As I was getting the crushed lupins ready, they stood at their gate & gave me the hairy eyeball.

All except Ozzie, who is pretty deaf & was off eating grass - but he did come running when he saw me moving in with the feed.

1° Celsius when I fed them.

The #MudBrothers this morning.

Another truckload of #lucerne arrived this morning. 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

#Lambs & #alpacas are loving it.

This morning I fed them some #lucerne & #poppedlupins.

Just now I gave the #MudBrothers some more carrots (the huge, long ones #Woolies sell as #TheOddBunch. I slice lengthwise & each big carrot becomes 4.) & another bale of lucerne.

Chaser pictured, eating something like his 12th carrot of the day. So far. (He’s ignoring the newest bale of lucerne & hoping for more #carrots.)

I just returned from feeding the #MudBrothers & the #lambs.

As I came through the gate they rushed towards me - normal.

Ozzie (the older, white #alpaca) then spotted I had a bucket of crushed lupins on me.

He reared up on his hind legs & then head butted my shoulder! Not normal.

I’m not that stable on my legs at the best of times & his head butt sent me into the fence.

#NotHappy.

Woke this morning with my left leg twisted under me.

As a result of awkward sleeping, my left knee is giving me hell again.

I took some pain meds & was waiting for them to kick in when the neighbour’s kids & their visiting friends (school holidays) asked if they could feed the #lambs & #alpacas. 🤗

I’d already cut up a couple of kilos of carrots for the alpacas, so the kids were very excited about hand feeding the #MudBrothers & the lambs got to feed on the crushed lupins.

The #alpacas & #lambs this chilly morning.

I’m guessing the #MudBrothers have been eyeing off that new truckload of #lucerne since it arrived yesterday. So I tried to frame them with it as I walked towards them.

The #MudBrothers got lucerne bricks & carrots while the #Wiltipoll twins got cracked lupins & lucerne bricks.

The #MudBrothers & #Wiltipoll #lambs were fed & watered earlier.

There’s still so much #thistle out there!

The transplanted to potting mix bags #JerusalemArtichoke didn’t like the 35° #Celsius we eventually got to yesterday.

This morning they’ve been given a good soaking & are starting to recover.

It might hit 37° or 38° today, so I’ll check through the day.
