Talking about wool ,you would have loved the wool we were handling a couple of weekends ago FractilizingIron. The wool classer said it was the best he's seen in a very long time. 21 micron ,needed barely any skirting and only the very tips of it were discoloured. It was so soft. I'd love a jumper out of it .

A little update on my orphan lamb I got a couple of weeks ago. Theodore is going great guns. He's grown heaps ,he's drinking a whole bottle 5 times a day ,started nibbling grass and I've introduced some hard feed this morning which he cleaned up. He tears around the yard but makes me laugh as he hops like a deer sometimes. He bucks and plays but I'm sure he thinks he's a dog as the blue heeler adores him and plays with him.They are best mates. So from a half dead lamb when he came here he's not doing too badly at all.

I was thinking about 'Click go the Shears' after helping friends in a shearing shed last weekend and started humming it to myself on the way home.

My vets have used xyalzine as a heavy sedation for horses for years.A few ml of it and it knocks a 500 kg horse into lala land within minutes ,dread to think what it does to humans. No wonder they're calling it the zombie drug.

Thanks. Apparently every 4-6 hours. So I'll be up again at around 1 am to feed . At least it's not as often as foals ,they're every 2 hours.

Thank you,I'm glad it made you smile.

He's pretty cute I have to admit.I've fed orphan foals,calves ,kittens and puppies but never a lamb. He was pretty hollowed in the flanks and dehydrated when he dropped him off this afternoon but he's had a few feeds and has brightened up and is looking a lot better now.

So I have a new addition. A friend who's a shearer turns up with an orphan lamb today. Don't know if it's mum abandoned it ,it was a twin and she's left it and taken the other one or she passed . The farmer didn't have time to bottle feed it , so guess what I'm doing tonight. How I get conned into these things I don't know. I've named him Theodore.

This has been out for years. I used to drive horses like these. They take a bit of turning at the best of times never mind enclosed spaces.

ponies where they aren't suppose to be and having to go get them in my pj's and slippers because they're annoying the stallions.

We've had a lot of fires these last few weeks. Many places been on emergency warning. To lose a bomber like this is a real blow for crews already stretched for available appliances. Just glad there was no loss of life.

One of the big firefighting water bombers (737) has crashed fighting fires in my region. Thank God the pilots survived. We had thunderstorms yesterday and a heap of fires popping up today because of the dry strikes.

As you wish . Hehehe

I'm lucky I have a supplier who is only a couple of towns away so she posts stuff and it's here the next day so I get the dried leaves from her. I get a lot of stuff from her and she's always very fast at sending to me. I've just managed to get hold of some Moringa seeds to have a go at growing my own plants.

I take Moringa and Olive leaf extract. I really like it and have so much more energy if I do . Joints don't hurt either.

That's beautiful.

In front of Bill Gates too I hope. Wasn't he at the tennis ?

Domestic- Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I also have a huge soft spot for Maremma livestock guardian dogs.They have a nature like no other dog. Wild- Wolf.

Domestic -Ragdoll or a shaded silver Chinchilla. Wild - Snow Leopard .

If he dies suddenly you know he's not.

Always loved rollercoasters . Don't really get them much here,only at the 1 main agricultural show a year. Worst, anything that tumbles me over going frontwards. Backwards no worries but frontwards I don't like.

That's pretty sad actually when you think about it.

Husband said we didn't need another dog so we are getting a new dog . Dog is flying in from other side of the country tomorrow . I've got a 7 hour round trip to go pick him up from the airport. As much as hubby grumbles he's really a big softy at heart.

What a great dog.

No they can only be found in their natural habitat on Rottnest Island off the coast of Western Australia.
