Being that time of year, most of the past week has been taken up with shearing 34 alpaca; cutting, baling and shedding 155 bales of hay; visiting Diane in hospital; and in the middle of it all, the arrival of "Pandemonium", our first cria (baby alpaca) to be born on our property.
Unfortunately, he has been very slow developing from birth, but he is still hanging in there after 3 days, so we have everything crossed! Add 3 hourly feeds and twice daily injections to the above, and you will see why my mind has not been directed towards the walk at all. Hopefully, he will continue to improve, so that in the next week I may be able to attend to some other matters. Today is the running of the Melbourne Cup, so I might look for an 'omen bet', and hopefully have a win for the day!
Happy punting.
