What a difference today is from yesterday, horrendous wind and rain!! But today the mild weather is back with us its really mild and the sun is shinning, a huge difference from yesterday! The grass is still growing (although we don't have loads) you can tell its still coming as the Alpacas are eating less of the hay.
I have just moved them all around this morning to give them some more grass, they do love changing fields, and that will be the last of I see of them down in the main field until tea-time, can still see them but in the distance.
Coming to Hay!! hopefully with this prolonged fairly mild weather we won't be using as much, boy oh boy is it expensive!! I am paying double what I was 2/3 years ago!! And I am not sure if its my imagination but I think my small bales have shrunk!!! is it possible to change the size of bales you make!! ??
I know probably quite a dumb question. But I think its like everything these days somewhere along the line manufacturers manage to shrink the product and still make people think they are a getting a bargain (but in fact they are getting less for their money!!)
Example: Tin of Roses - I have an empty tin from last year (keeping doggy treats in) and the weight is 975g and I am sure I paid £5 for it. This year the tin holds 850g for £5 - so same price but less for your money!! (sorry I know Roses are a luxury item but its the only thing I have available to compare and prove my thinking)
And now to mobile phone bills! I thought if you signed up for a contract you were safe in the knowledge that the only additional charges would be if you overspend your minutes/text or phone chargeable numbers so that's down to you being careful. But on no we just got a text from Orange saying they are putting up our contract charge!! even though we still have a year to run on the contract. And you can't get out of it (its in the small print - and yes like everyone I didn't see that in the small print!!)
But back on a lighter note - our BG's lol still being naughty and still making me laugh :-)
