Story of my life. Also probably why I flunked that class. Haha

Well it is a recipe for inertia

Nice rainy cold weekend. Managed not to leave the house at all, and rarely bed.

Monday now of course, but on the plus side, Wednesday is a public holiday (Human Rights Day), and the week after I go on leave.

Had to take a taxi to work because someone let a balloon loose in the train station. I can't make this stuff up. Freaking Mylar. There was smoke coming up through the street for 3 blocks around the station. (Trains run underground.) At least 6 fire trucks responded. Thousands of people were stranded or late for work. One balloon.

I'm sorry to hear, Sky. Such lovely creatures

Post by **Skyweir** » Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:49 pm

thanks Menolly

yes they are. She was our resident watchdog .. they are fiercely territorial for the gentle giants they are. She has spat at my merino when he edged her out of the food trough . But she never spat at us .. and we hooved her, cuddled her, gave her her shots. Lovely animals indeed

(I had had it in my mind to ask you if you were at home when it happened.)
Sorry for your loss of this lovely creature. Sweet to hear she was a watchdog.

Your comment the other night comparing yourself to Eeyore served me well today... I used that line about myself to lighten things up this morning...

That sounds nice. Closure is important.

Ag shame. Any idea what caused it?

No idea .. we sheared her and drenched her on Sunday .. but we do that annually. We clipped her hooves as well .. shed lost wool bulk .. but the weather hasnt gotten really cold yet .. and it was a light shear too as we are heading into winter. I dont really know.

Sorry to hear about your alpaca Sky. Looks as though you had a good wake for her.

I had an accident yesterday. Was carrying the washing basket down the stairs and tried to avoid all the bags of shopping that dear C had parked at the bottom when I slipped on the penultimate stair and landed on the floor. My foot was folded under, with a lot of my weight on it, and I must have twisted my knee. Thought I wouldn't be able to sleep as there was nowhere to put my leg where it didn't hurt, but took 2 ibruprofen(?) and slept surprisingly well in the spare bedroom next to the bathroom, with my onsie on as I didn't seem to be able to get warmed up. Couldn't put my foot down at all last night - hilarious as C had to keep lifting me up as I was getting around by shuffling on my bum, but this morning I can. But the knee is very swollen. I'm sure I haven't broken anything so am resting it. Any excuse to sit on the sofa with a book, and my leg up on a stool.
