just about...

..hangin' in there, had a lovely moment this afternoon, bring a tear to the eye stuff.. I had just got back from the studio about three thirty sitting down with the cats, got the fire going, glass of wine and preparing to watch Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes solve another mystery on Television Monte Carlo when I heard lots of bells, cattle type bells and Oscar heard them too and leapt up, (Manon was unmoved) - so I picked her up, took her outside just in time to see the sheep and goats arrive invading and surrounding the car. the house eating all the fresh grass shoots that have sprung up around your (dad) nicely raked space outside the homestead. The cats hid under the car and in all of five minutes the flock had eaten everything green and moved on - disappeared like locusts leaving only piles of sheep droppings. The goats are really something and the feeling of being swamped for five minutes by a huge herd/flock of assorted sheep, goats and dogs is quite something.. course my camera was at Crillon otherwise I would have been able to show you. Lots of love J
