What have you been doing today?

Discovered a sheep on her back whilst out for my constitutional this morning......managed to get her up (unbelievable weight, took all my strength but managed it somehow).
Unfortunately she had rolled onto one of her lambs and crushed it :( it seemed to have a dislocated shoulder and had been dead for a bit.
Felt wretched all day.
John :(


I gave you a like but thought it inappropriate so I took it away. Well done.

I found a Swamp Wallaby unable to move in some big rocks by a lake at the end of my street. I went to get her out but thought maybe a snake got her.

So I went and got Mrs Bod.

She helped me keep my balance while I pulled her out. Unfortunately her Joey had drowned.

Mrs Bod explained to work and had the night off to take her to the Vets.

We took her to Steve Irwin's zoo. Also a rescue center.. It took about an hour... north of Brisbane. Her first and last car ride was spent in the back listening to Elvis... That's the last I see of her... They could not save the poor darling....
 
No worries Mr. B.....no way could I be a farmer and witness suffering animals - I know it’s nature to a degree but I can’t deal with it.
John :)

I was having a burn up tonight. Full well knowing some snails could be fried. As soon as I found one I had to stop. I then found a few more so I escorted them across the road to a little wood by the neighbours fence.
 
I built this bench out of old oak beams taken off from a loft conversion a few years ago.
I knew I would've needed them eventually.
Wood is slightly different colour due to different age.
Weekend gone with the wind, as well as a case of beer o_O

I don’t like killing snails so I go out in my garden at night after it’s been raining or I’ve watered the garden, pick them up and lob them over my back fence into the alley behind. Once I started dabbing them with a spot of tippex before throwing them over to see if they were homing snails. A few of them did return.

We did the same a couple of years back.... With nail polish on about 20 snails. We took them down across the road to the meadow. It must be 5 600 yards or so. We took them across the fast flowing brook (we had a lot of rain) as far away from the bridge as possible and up the top of the hill.

I Never thought we would see them again...

A year past


And we never did see them again.

My dad in law made a snail shaped catapult and they fly like a bird over the London skyline when he uses that.. I shouldn't laugh, but I do. Hate slugs and snails.
