The barn is alive with the sound of……… Actually not sure quite what.  A Kookaburra is sitting on someone’s arm, a HUGE iguana is wandering around the floor, a meerkat is sitting up on his hind legs in a little pen in the corner and a jennet is sitting on someone’s head.  Yes. A normal working day at Tilley Farm.  The jennet is just beautiful.  She is a member of the mongoose family but has paws like a little cat.  She is alarmingly interested in the skunks which are blissed out with TTouch on the other side of the room.  We also have snakes, spiders and a giant African snail who is slowly creeping up one of the participants arm.

Mags and I have been on a clearing mission and our feed room is super organised and clean.  We are moving on to the hay store later and Jon is getting a little twitchy as we may just take our cleaning appliances into the house.  Frankly it needs the yard blower and the power washer but as we are unable to get a skip in through the door we may refrain from going that far. 

Our front paddock is looking gorgeous with its new fencing and everyone is enjoying the course. Although I have extra hours in the day now there still doesn’t seem to be enough time to get everything done. Perhaps I take on too much.  Oh well. At least the word ‘bored’ is never a part of my vocabulary.
