Beautiful babies! Mum's a cutie too.View attachment 534441
She must have had them just before our first morning check, the second one was still damp, but she lambs, cleaned them up and suckled both with no need for help, which is exactly what you want to happenNavel strings have been dipped in iodine to prevent infection and I've numbered the lambs, but the ewe isn't letting me anywhere near her with a spray can - they go a bit feral when they've got lambs, especially first timers. Boy and a girl.
They're most upset with me, they've been thrown back out on the hill!Beautiful babies! Mum's a cutie too.
I laugh so much at Ewerhythmics every time I see it.
Such funny ways they have. Personality plus.They're most upset with me, they've been thrown back out on the hill!

Perfect for smol pixie, with their tiny portionsAnyone tried something like this, made with tiny pasta ? Pastina.View attachment 535976View attachment 535977View attachment 535978 Comfort food, pasta, beaten egg, Parmesan, butter. I don’t have any tiny pasta, which is also good for soup, or Parmesan, but might try with cheddar and breaking up some spaghetti. Picture taken from Framed Cooks. Recipe at Framed Cooks.

@Flumps I think this is the absolute perfect place for you to be venting, because as you said you can't say this to the people you know in IRL and it must be the most frustrating thing in the world! What you are going through is so incredibly complicated, so much more so than 'regular' grief. It sounds like you are handling things perfectly with your daughter though, why on earth would his family think it's appropriate to tag her in social media posts? I would struggle to contain myself too if i were you. The bit following a death is always an intense flurry of gushing, rewriting of history and people scrambling over each other to make the most moving tribute but it will fade with time and your history and experience will never be erased. I wish I could offer more useful advice other than to say it sounds so incredibly fucking shit and I hope things begin to get easier soon but in the meantime please continue to get out all your frustration here!!
His family are mostly ok. They are saying stuff, but not tagging her and I think a lot of it is comforting and she can mine it in her own time IYSWIM. It's a bit weird - some of them she barely knows, and I'm talking close relations - because he wouldn't talk to them because he *hated* them (not for any good reason that I could ever discover), but overall they don't upset her. But they don't really know her and it's all bit strange, but I don't feel it's particularly negative for her. It is for me, because everything they are saying is so kind and generous and I am like 'Christ, if you could hear how he talked about you' in a sad-for-them that they're wasting all these emotional resources on someone who gave nothing back way. Still, in death as in life I suppose.
This ex-girlfriend made me furious though with the tagging and there was another one the other day who messaged my daughter to share all her sads too. They are both relationships from post our marriage and he introduced her to them both and they both went through the 'poor baby who needs adopting by me because her mum is such an unreasonable person' phase. Then they broke up with him because of all the reasons you would (much less stamina than me, mind you, because I am an idiot), and I ended up talking them both through how to detach from him successfully (not so unreasonable then).
Now it's all weeping and wailing and look at my grief, *I'M* so sad, directed at his 15 YEAR OLD CHILD. One of them with added hints and implications that they were the love that was never meant to be (that's nice for all 3 of his children he had with women who weren't you, I expect). Also, weird flex if you ask me, but go ahead, just leave my child out of it all please.
How did your pasta efforts go, @Mustard?Anyone tried something like this, made with tiny pasta ?
