Dear Diary,

This is Mum feeding Al. We called him Al after Al Pacino who played Scarface, because he has a scar on his face from where Mum and Anna performed minor surgery to lance a huge abscess in his cheek.

This is one brave lamb. His Mum, B1, died when he was only four weeks old, and he would not drink from a bottle. We eventually found out that this was because his mouth hurt so much. He was trying to eat grain and grass and stuff. Once Mum fixed his mouth he soon joined Lance and his sister Juliet, and Panda the orphan ewe Mum got. Lance is easily the most assertive and the hungriest.

I am 8.64 and I can take good pictures with a camera now, and I can feed two of the four little ones at once, while Mum feeds the other two. Mum and I do this three times a day, rain or shine or frost!
