some early hour of the morning one of the newborn goth-lambs managed to fall into the creek and get stuck. lamby and its mother spent hours bleating sadly to each other. p got up early, saw it and fished it out, but it doesnt look too good. its neck is all bent and it walks sideways like a crab now.
i got a towel and wrapped it up and gave it a cuddle and tried to give it a bottle, as it had been lying looking dead for a couple of hours in the grass. poor warm lamby with its giant alien eyes. its mother came charging over, and it found the strength to get up and chow down on her deeeelicious sheep milk. mmmm! it looked a little healthier later on, but i dread another dead lamb when i wake up :(
then i went inside and found i had a big rash all over the inside of my arm. can you get sheep pox?
i spent the rest of the day alone in the lounge with biosphere, woob, coil, coffee, nag champa and 6 months of neglected accounts to be reconciled. HAHAHA SIX MONTHS AHAAHAHA.
2 hours in, i had changed cds twice, had 4 coffees and some random porridge, managed to find a pen that worked, and made a silly hat out of the cashbook flow chart from the IRD, but still had not started on my accounts
4 hours in i was about halfway. one of my eyes had stopped working by this time
6 hours in. arthritic knees, screaming shoulders, and a gippy coffee tummy, but pretty much done except for running out of invoice books and needing to break down the credit card purchases
so..that will learn me. i must be vigilant with the accounts because if i have to do that again it will kill me.
