an actual chicken crossing an actual main road.  a missed opportunity.

some horses

these horses were watching me as i walked back from our local post office down the back lane.  they should  be minding their own business, cheeky monkeys.

whilst on the isle of bute i thought i saw a wild cat. but i was just a domestic moggy.  But in the same field was a two headed horse.  but that wasn’t either.  oh well.

don’t worry, no actual guinea pigs were worried in the making of
this picture.  it’s just off a guinea pig food bag,

these are not horses. i think.

now, i don’t know much about animals (although i did put a dead hedgehog in our dustbin last night), however, even i know these aren’t horses.

do would you trust the author to tell you how to look after them ?

“your horse is quite short isn’t it?”

eels

this chap just caught an eel as i walked past him yesterday morning

As a result i’ve had the mighty boosh’s eels in my head all day long (youtube video contains a biological word some might find distasteful, but worth a listen!)

luxury holiday accommodation

090503_850_img_3840.jpg

esther’s guineas went to stay at her granny’s house where they were treated to a luxurious stay.  their outdoor run was festooned with a gazebo, an outside windbreak and even some nice little logs for them to sit on and chat about old times.

poor things are back to slumming it with us again now though (the guineas, not my parents in law)

this local cat (or his twin) has taken a rather worrying interest in esther’s guinea pigs

he/she sits there by the bars looking at the guinea pigs just millimetres away.

a pig

a number of interesting things happened on our holiday last summer.  this pig walking by the window was one of them

bull’s eye

080913_350d_img_0168.jpg

who is it that makes wigs for bulls and cows ?  they’re not very good.  but then i suppose a bull is unlikely to have much money. perhaps they do it for free. if you’re dealing with a bull it’s sensible to stipulate they’ll be no charge.
