Kind of. 
I gave myself a wee sleep in this morning – until 6.30 – which meant I slept through my writing time but I knew you would not mind.
Here is yesterday.
And this morning as Boo and Ton and I drove along the track on the 4wheeler (Boo behind me and Ton sitting in the well with my foot), along the ditch that was a creek, on the way back from feeding Manu and Molly at the West barn, TWO BASTARD MINKS leapt up off the path and literally flew into the long grass and down the bank. Bad leg or not Boo went in after them to give the minks a hurry up.
Later further down the track I found some tail feathers of a peahen.
When we got home Violet was standing on the fence missing a few feathers. Geraldine we see only occasionally as she is nesting up the top – I will go up and check her today in case she has shifted.
This was all in broad morning daylight by the way! Bad news.
So no more wandering about for the layers, they will go on full lock down now especially at night. With a walk in the evening accompanied by Boo.
Bloody Bastard Mink is back.
Yesterday in pictures.
I hope you have a lovely day. Check out The Armadillo on the Instagram – he was out walking early this morning.
Love celi

Boo is still holding his back leg I see…..poor boy. I ‘ve just had Mirrhi to the vet with what turned out to be the slightest cruciate ligament injury. Still painful for her and she limps, so is having only slow , short strolls. Hard when we meet one of playmates. Oh no, not the mink!
Yes, i think it is broke – another vet visit this week – c
‘Lazy Saturday’ – sleeping ‘in’ till 6.30am : Milady I don’t think you know the meaning of the word 🙂 !! I was still sipping coffee in bed at past 8 !! Oh; Loki could win a kitties’ beauty pageant methinks – what a lovely photo of Alissa and her companion . . .
Yes! They are so sweet together.
Seeing that cap of hard skin just behind Wai’s ears must just make your fingers itch to peel it off!
Though it is still attached – it is still the skin – not going anywhere until it peels. I wish it would start letting go but it may take months the vet said. Some of it is hard as saddle leather and sharp too – poor fellow. c
Good clean food must be helping Wai. Hope Geraldine is ok, bloody bastard mink. Laura
D > BBM. There’s BBM here in Uist, too, but as relatively recent introduction and there are official culls of them as they are not native and damage the increasingly valuable nesting birds. No BBM in Eriskay – they’ve never made it along the causeway! For every way of life there seems to be a BB of some form or another ! We need defense strategies!
Lucky Loki, blessed with a companion, looking at life from behind the screen, safe and secure. I can relate.
Not the dastardly mink!!!! Sh*t!!
And a lovely day back at you Celi .. sorry to hear those rotten minks are about!😃
