Business planning

One of the causes of the gloom on Saturday was the fact that Jussi finally managed to link up with a local keeper of goats.

It had taken a long time. This woman seemed to be avoiding us and Jussi had made several attempts over the summer.

Jussi had met her before we moved and we knew that she was struggling to keep her goats happy. On Saturday we learned the depth of this woman's problems, summed up by: "I've given up, I'm just waiting for them to die".

We are fully aware that our chances of making a success of this life are marginal, and we are aware that goats may not thrive here - and we know that we need to be flexible. This seems like a good idea.

Where do you find them!!

Belated birthday wishes for you Simon, better late than never eh, maybe. Mine last week, under better circumstances than last year, funerals and birthdays just don't mix.

It's a shame about those other goats, but wait and see: you know that you'll be OK, don't you!

For me the disappointing thing is that she's not approachable - I could have done with her help! Still - here's hoping that our goats will be fine...
