We had a couple of goat people visit us last week - and they advised us to feed a couple of them up a bit - so increased rations as they work their way through the final semester. The goats are in good condition but a couple are looking thin - and very pregnant. First kidding is due March 16th - like two weeks time. Eeek. Our visitors were amused by the fact that we're starting with 7 goats to kid - they thought it was rather a lot for a first attempt..... It is going to be mayhem. Oh man this is getting scary.
Meanwhile Jussi has come up with this contraption to cut down on the morning task of collection recycling from the garden.
Last night we watched Monty Hall's Great Escape - a BBC prog about a guy coming to live the life idyllic in the Highlands - UK readers have a week to catch it on iPlayer. We laughed and shouted all the way through it. Complete nonsense.

It may be nonsense, but apparently I'm going to be in it. Look out for the Glamaig race, probably episode 3.
Cool - he's in a great part of the world - I've done a fair amount of cycling around there - and I've stayed in a bothy pretty close to where he is I think (that bothy had a well on the beach - which is probably where he should look).
But I remember the midges being ferocious over there.
Anyway - how will we recognise you?
I will be with some people with Cosmic kit on (black vest or fluoro yellow top). Now it seems to be hour long shows it may be episode 2, not 3.
It's a lovely area for cycling - we did a bit at new year from Shieldaig, though I need a little more stamina training before attempting the Bealach na Ba.
I've cycled up the pass of the cows! It was spring when we set off from Plockton and winter at the top of the road. I threw the Bike in the back of a car (thank gawd for non cyclists eh!) and went to the Applecross Inn to warm up!
