I have a good excuse for missing the 6pm (ish) tonight!
It’s lambing time down on the farm and I was needed to help out.
My daughter and I are currently living in our house on my parent’s farm - a long story, but it means every now and then we get called upon!
I can not really claim to be a farmer, or know how to lamb a sheep but we both can move them around, get them in pens, give them water.
Lambing time is the ultimate graft!
Sheep do not care about 9 - 5 working hours. So I do my bit. I do the midnight shift, carefully checking 100 sheep’s bottoms for signs of little feet, or heads, which is not good.
But tonight there was a bit of a lamb rush just as sun was setting.
So the note got delayed!
So sometimes we have really good excuses for not doing things.
But sometimes we don’t. Only you get to decide!
