donald the bull

well it's nearly monday so i'm just getting in the weekend's blips before bedtime. i had to backblip yesterday's entry due to birthday celebrations and farming demonstrations.

today we had a super brunch with my friend L's family and cleared up the remnants of last night's party. M was dying to see the collie working and jumping fences (our collie isn't so partial to jumping high obstacles!) so L's family kindly took us out into the fields for a bit of One Man and His Dog. Great stuff. we went home via the farm steading and met Donald, the Short Horned Bull. he's a mighty fine beast and was surprisingly pleased to have his head stroked... i wasn't getting in the pen with him though!! there's a fine line between a soppy moo and a seriously powerful bull.

big girl pants back on this evening after a wonderful weekend. it's not a pre-requisite to realisation, but it's amazing how farewells prior to emigrating to the other side of the world do remind you what fantastic friends you have, and how lucky you are to have those people in your life.

hope everyone had a good weekend and many thanks for the comments and favourites (very grateful!) on my sunset blip.
