Morning All

Your weather for today....


Currently 6ºC

Headline:

Rain spreading east and turning heavy in places.

Today:

Many places starting dry, with the clearest and so chilly conditions across central and eastern England. However cloud and rain already across the far west will continue to spread east, bringing some occasionally heavy rain. Northern Ireland becoming dry later.

Tonight:

The rain, locally heavy, across Scotland, England and Wales will mainly clear away eastwards. This will leave most places dry with clear spells, just isolated light showers in the west.

Saturday:

Scattered showers for northern Scotland, some heavy. Elsewhere predominantly dry, with sunny spells and only isolated light showers. However southwest England will be cloudier, with perhaps some patchy light rain.

Hiya darlo .. there is always gin

Hello, 

Sorry, I don't know you very well... but I am curious.   We have sheep near us... and I witness the horney looking rams get put in with the unexpecting (ha!) girlies  each year.

How do you know that the boy has got round to seeing to all the girls?

It all looks a bit random (i.e. those that run slowest get the horns, so to speak)

Ooo hello in here Ditty

Ditty .. this is shep..... shep.. Ditty... there ... introductions done


Z.

I may be wrong Ditty but they put some form of coloured dye on the ram's underside... so each ewe he has taken to the pictures.. on for a meal and back to his place for coffee.. has a tell-tale splodge of colour

 

Edit : Yep .. it is called 'Raddle'

OR

Just take every ewe with a grin on its face out of the field until one by one they all are

Z.

     

Thank you Z...

I don't feel like some strange bird that is asking someone about sheep nuptials out of the blue now!

REALLY!!!!

Oooh... that just leads to more and more questions! 

See Ickle & I had this debate.. earlier in the year as all the lambs were being born... and eventally there were 7 or 8 sheep segregated... awaiting their babies to be born... as time went on it became obvious they weren't going to have a baby.

Which led us onto.... do you think they mass pregnancy test them?   As I said, we've seen the ram in the field (my god he is a scary looking thing... he is not keen on eye contact... ).... and it all looked a bit hit n miss.

BTW... Ickle called the Ram  Fluffy

(sorry Fluff... nothing to do with you I promise)

After Hagrid's Three headed dog I suppose?


Z.

..maybe they just took precautions


Z.

Oooh.. ok... just seen your edit Z.

I am off to read the wiki link (& pray that Mr Ditty doesn't walk in and see me looking at ovine grot

LOL!  probably!  see these HP references just go whoosh over my head

LMAO!!!!

I did not know tupping was the proper word for it between sheep.   I love the verb 'to tupp'

Brings a whole new meaning to tuppaware parties


Z.

Ok... well there was no visible harness on our Ram! 

But... he was in that field for a good fortnight

Testing....

How odd...I seem to have three accounts here and I don't know how.

Evening Cariad
