Day 122 of New normal. Red sky in the morning, she

Day 122 of New normal. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning! No rain so far but it has been very windy. We worked on the guttering down at the horses to get it ready for the rain, we now have a network of pipes, running into the well. No more wasted rain water. Irene had a lovely sleep in the sand while Bonnie and Twiggy supervised our work. I did have to tell Twiggy that it was unlucky to walk under ladders, lol. I also had to tell her off for trying to break into the alley - what is the attraction? 😂. Lola had her feet done and Bella and Elsie seem to have called a truce, fingers crossed! As it was a grey evening we thought we would light our first fire but after 5 minutes we had to open all the doors to let the heat out. It has been really warm today, silly idea really 😊. Oh well, it looks cosy and it won't be long before we need one for real I'm sure! #greyskies #cortijoloslobos #villanueavadeltrabuco #stayingpositive #newnormal #ethicalhorsemanship #horseyhelpers

Day 121 of New normal. Bella was back for breakfas

Day 121 of New normal. Bella was back for breakfast, none the worse for her traumatic incident last night. She had done a good job cleaning herself too, thank goodness! With rain forecast for mid week it was a battening down the hatches sort of day, made more authentic by the strong wind battering us. We got a lot of the firewood cut and stacked and Clive filled some cracks in the roof, checked tiles and painted where needed with a water proof paint called coucho. Hopefully we're ready for some good, much needed, heavy rain. I rolled the kitchen rug up to do a last bit of painting on the ceiling and Elsie was straight there, funny girl. She looks so innocent after last night's attack on Bella. Lots going on in the garden, the persimmon are ripe, as are the quince and the false pepper is so pink and pretty. We have an orange orange too 😊. The bay tree is so tall, we'll never use all those leaves, lol. We have started putting muck on an area at the bottom of the horses field, ready to start a veg patch once the rain softens the ground. Our soil is clay so it's not the easiest but we'll dig the manure in and hopefully by early spring we can start planting things 😀 #cortijoloslobos #villanueavadeltrabuco #stayingpositive #newnormal #busyday #firewood #readyfortherain

Day 120. It started really well,with a trip to Lil

Day 120. It started really well,with a trip to Lily and Martin's to take them a trailer load of muck for their trees, then down to the beach with their dogs to look for sea glass followed by a lovely lunch back at Lily's. All was fine when we got home too.Bella was pleased to see us and cuddled up on the sofa. We had just settled down for the evening when it all went down hill.Bella asked to go out and then we heard a terrible cat fight,the noise was really blood curdling.I rushed outside,while trying to hold the dogs back as they were keen to join in the fun,to find poor Bella being attacked by Elsie. She was so terrified that she had poo'd and wee'd herself and it was literally every where. How do you even think about bathing a semi feral cat? Honestly, it's one thing after another with her. I scared Elsie off (I wish I knew why she hates Bella so much 😥) and calmed Bella down.I tried to clean her up with an old cloth but she climbed up on the grape vine and started cleaning herself. I just have to hope that she cleans herself thoroughly! Meanwhile,Clive hosed down the courtyard and after dealing with Bella, and hearing the horses calling I went down to do the last feed and shut the chickens in.It was obviously going to be one of those nights as the first thing I noticed was that Blackie,Fern and Lola had trashed their fence.I decided to put the hay out before sorting it out and then found that the muck heap fence and the alleyway where we keep the wheelbarrows were both open.A big mystery as Clive did the poo picking and he swears everything was locked and horse proof and I know how thorough he is. The 4 new hens were by the alleyway, wanting to get in to their house to roost but despite my shooing them in they were reluctant to go.I finally realised that one of the old hens was in the way of the entrance hole, so that sorted, they went in.Just the electric tape to sort now!Most of the poles were bent and Blackie was laying down looking sorry for herself so I had to run up to the house to get Clive to help.While he fixed the fence I got Blackie up and walked her, and she seems fine, phew! We'll never be bored, lol.At least the sunset cheered us up.
