No, nothing here either.  It is my first Tuesday in years that I haven't had one or other of the kids on Melbourne Cup Day so over the years I have just lost interest in it.  Hope those who are going out to lunch etc have a great day though.

Not this year.  Our 2 dairy goats gave birth recently and I'm now bottle feeding 1 kid + set of triplets.  So that's what I'll be doing at lunch time  :)

Yes, but I enjoy it  ;D  At the moment the kids are getting all the milk but in a few months we should have enough milk for us + some for cheese-making.  Here is a pic of our 4 doe kids with Lorenzo, my youngest:

Nothing exciting planned. I used to get involved when I worked but am happy to sit and watch it at home now. I save money too. ;)
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
