Pond Update ....Day Three

We do have a little bit of water....lying in the pond, which is a good sign !

The sun came out, banking up and grading the sides, this will be the deep end...

View from a distance near to where the water markers are ....

Niggy ............ fast asleep tonight ..... on my knee !!

Heavy hail showers mixed in with lovely sunshine.... what weather !


The pond is coming along nicely.....today we have had glorious sunshine and hail-stones...a combination of all the seasons in one day !

The pond is about just over a quarter dug and is starting to take shape...it is still quite a way from being finished...but its coming along....

I managed to get all the boys in their proper field today.....with the use of a strategic piece of string ....stopping the gate from blowing shut, in the wind......so there were no alpaca antics today.

I have been tidying my barn out, putting a few tools away, after all those jobs...we didn't get time to do it before my parents went back home.

I am due a delivery of alpaca feed sometime next week, so I had to make some room before it arrives.

Tonight I thought I'd have a bit of a piggy moment....so I sat down in the shed...it wasn't long before Niggy came over to see me...he squeezed himself along my legs and went to sleep...

He looks so comfortable...I felt guilty when I had to wake him...so I could get up.....

Its one week today, since we took delivery of the new arrivals.....I think they have settled in just fine !

What do you think !!

The pond looks like it's going to be huge! Are you going to have fish in it? I'm guessing yes.
Niggy looks very sweet.

Are you sure this isn't going to be used at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Jayne? It's looking good! Shirley & Robbie

Pond progress looking good, bet the local wildlife are already packing their bags and heading your way! How long before Niggy finds his way up onto the bed??!!

If that's a quarter finished Jayne, you may have to start calling it Loch Zanzibah!
