In the meantime back at Quélébu 7 chicks to our two sitting hens, teething problems with the solar installation, our apple trees devastated by a red deer and the delivery of the insulated floor for the barn.
First task on return was moving the flooring into the barn, next building a pen so the hens with chicks could get out onto the grass.
After continuing problems with the solar system, apparently originating from a software update, the controller decided to switch off all power, even the mains! An engineer quickly turned up and unable to find the cause of the fault and in the course of analysis turned the entire system off then on again....hey presto everything works again. I hadn't realised the system would include remote access by the manufacturer's IT engineers....may try to opt out of that as it's more trouble than it's worth. "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
Flooring laying took a day and half, not good for the torn meniscus and arthritis I ve just had diagnosed by MRI!
With sheep shearing scheduled for Wednesday we thought we'd move the sheep. Uncharacteristically, William bolted and the others followed. When I finally caught up with them I realised that he had fly strike in his horn. Since having FCO (blue tongue) William's horns have been growing without their usual had gnarly coating. Evidently a fissure or other damage had bleed and the flies had got in to lay eggs. It's a horrible affliction. A mad dash to the vet before closing and I managed to get an injection to administer. I hope he ll be ok.
