Alpaca Notes - Tasmania - April 2008

The Bombay Call Centre

April 28th 2008 06:11

They've been on the boil pretty much non-stop today. I’ve got some work on which involves excel and word documents with lots of data and graphs etc all linked up to each other - yes, I know, the day’s already doomed when you’re dealing with anything microsoft.

Anyway, I got a few calls early on. People I simply could not understand, someone asking for the “gentleman owner please of the business’ (grrrrr) and a couple more who sounded like they were phoning from down a mine shaft

No, not an exciting new recipe I’ve thought up, just an alpaca, with an apple.

More Mating Madness

April 22nd 2008 04:29

Well, Ginger’s still not pregnant, nor is Maddy. Cappy had a great time with Ginger yesterday. I didn’t have my watch on, but it seemed like he was there for an extraordinarily long time, much longer than his usual 20 minutes.

Alpaca Notes Categories

April 18th 2008 01:02

I’ve been busy organising my posts into categories. I’ve got a few posts on here now, so I thought I should break them up so if you are looking for something particular about alpacas, you can find it more quickly.

I probably should break it down a bit more into sub-categories, but that will take some thinking about, and hell, it’s Friday, All I’m thinking about today is the weekend

Fleece to Wool

April 16th 2008 04:26

I’m looking for a spinner. Someone who likes to take the lovely soft fleece from my alpacas and turn it into beautiful, hand-spun wool to be knitted into comfy, warm things to wear in the winter time.

Needle time - Vitamin D

April 10th 2008 23:35

Going into winter, we give our alpacas a dose of vitamins. We give a combination of vitamins A, D & E, but it’s the vitamin D which is particularly important for these guys.
