I cant say that life is ever dull on a dairy farm. At 4 am John leapt from bed opened the blind and muttered I thought so, demanded the torch and rushed out saying half the ..... herd is in the orchard then yelled at me a bit later to get out and block them off so there we were in our yukatas and sandals looking a right pair of idiots with cows dementedly rushing around with their tails in the air saying isnt this fun, arnt we naughty, we shouldnt be here but ...I nearly got knocked over in the rush and the dairyman is oblivious to the fact that a gate wasnt closed and is still pushing them in.So this is my very bad sketch of him and the cows, so no wonder I felt tired all day.

well, that gives me a good laugh to start the day. I love your cows.
Ha ha I can just see you saying 'It's an emergency I'll just grab my torch sandals and... sketchbook'
That's so funny from our point of view. Everyone seems demented! Even the cows have their tails up in the air!
One day, an anniversary dinner, the next chasing cows in the wrong paddock. Well, that's life and life ain't meant to be easy, said someone tall and craggy.

I love those cows with the tails in the air-- how often I saw that on our farm/ranch in the Texas Panhandle. And leave it to cows-- if they don't find a gate open, they'll go over five strands of barb wire and nothing touches! And I love Jule's comment. I can just see you, too.
