BBQ weekend
Had a lovely day yesterday - BBQ for Piglet's second birthday. After a brief moment of consternation when it rained (for all of 5 minutes), it turned out all right in the end.
Barbara, Kirsty and Nikki all came round with offspring, plus two other local friends with their children , so there were 12 small people tearing around the garden. We charcoaled sausages and burgers and the kids ate twice what I expected them to - which was great!
At about 5ish, the first batch of merrymakers started to wend their way home and the second wave of guests arrived - more children, slightlyolder this time, and more stuff to BBQ, with cake and other niceties.
Needless to say, was a late night - gone midnight and several glasses of wine consumed. Tea and Myf went to bed about 10pm, so they were exhausted. I'd whisked Piglet upstairs for a bath at 8pm, and the poor thing could barely keep her eyes open by the end of it.
Her excema is bad though. The rosehip seed oil which was recommended to me had started to work really well, but it seems to have lost its efficacy. I'm not sure if it's something she's eaten - I've cut oranges and tomatoes out of her diet, much to her absolute disgust. But the last couple of days the red patches in the flexures of her arms and legs have grown and now look angrier than ever. I wondered if it could be dairy, as someone suggested, but she's had barely any milk (apart from the stuff on her breakfast) and it's no better. :( Poorly Piglet. Anyone any suggestions? I tried some calendula cream from Sarah, but that didn't help either.
And today - we finally moved the greenhouse. Should really blog that over in the Muddy Musings blog, but I haven't updated that one in months. Ho hum, guess that's what happens when real life comes along and interupts a perfectly good blog. :P Had the first potatoes and carrots with dinner tonight though. Very, very good. As was the rib of beef from a local farm.
