Is my blog broken?

Autumn 2009, originally uploaded by isayx3.
I like doing tribute shots, it’s a good one for when inspiration is low and is also a neat way of paying tribute to photographers who you admire.
The pigs have gone. We left very early this morning, to be at the slaughterhouse for 6am. Our pigs were very calm and well behaved, unlike the lot in front who had very noisy sex in the holding pen….well, that’s the way to go I suppose. It was all very orderly and the animals were treated with due respect. I’m surprised I didn’t feel emotional about it at all, I had a real fondness for them however. Feels strange to know their enclose is empty now…they had a good life though, a huge outside pen, truffling for acorns from the trees….it was a pretty blessed life as piggy lives go. And their end was stress free for them (they were asleep in the trailor!) and humane. As it should be.
Interesting people watching opportunity at the slaughterhouse…and old country gent handed over a wodge of notes to the slaughterman, growling, “That’s the money for the killin’” at him, in a deep Suffolk accent. ‘The money for the killin’…waaaaah, Mafia stylee.
My 4.15am start is catching up with me. It’s only 8.40am and it feels like lunchtime. I feel like going back to bed but am on Mummy Duty today, curses.
