Where do I start? Well, I guess it started with a new computer which didn't like our modem. Many trips to the local helpful computer shop rendered my modem which only refused to work on my new computer completely refusing to talk to any piece of technology. A week later and a new modem and I am catching up with life again. We might be in the country but are clearly not following a completely 'Good Life' philosophy. In fact it has been a busy couple of weeks on the farm. Despite the fact that i feel like we are in the middle of winter we are welcoming baby animals left right and center. Two calves were born last week when we learned that mother cows do in fact 'cash' their babies (or some such term that I can't remember). They do it pretty well too. For three hours we drove around the paddock and the cow very down hearted that the little calf we had seen the day before had obviously died a terrible death. Cow expert Scott took 2 seconds to spot the little thing hidden well in the grass and we still couldn't really see it (but pretended that we could of course).
Felix started the school holidays with a toffee apple and finished the holidays with no top teeth. He is pretty pleased and looks like a small vampire. Emily spends much time wiggling her bottom teeth and has convinced herself that they are actually close to becoming wobbly.
