Normie voluntarily spent the day with the other sheep. But he's had enough now and is home in time for bed before the lights come on. Fin, Abla and Cricket will keep him company.

I wish my shed was that tidy

Wally is inside having a sleep so Finny has taken over keeping me company

Haven't they got something better to do? Maybe they could help those in need like the wonderful Sikh community. I'm so grateful my fragile little ego doesn't need that much inflating. #grumpy

I don't understand why these coward, nazi, racist, emotionally immature and just plain stupid people are protesting about today? There's no war. Last time I checked it's the white males who go on the shooting rampages. They aren't persecuted. If anything they are given way too much leniency

Even the biggest gum tree starts like this. After the worst summer life still goes on.

You gotta pay the sheep nut tax if you want to get through that gate - #Normie, #Vanilla, #Cricket & #Finn have got this 😂

@lakey10.bsky.social bit nippy over your way John? We're on the other side of it now thankfully. 33mm over 4 days (most of it hail) but better than dust.
Shayne Calliss (@shaynecalliss.bsky.social)
33mm of rain since Tuesday. Perfect.

I was taught technically they are all the same. But if you think Galapagos then tortoise. Everything else turtle.

We have these tunnels that go through the reservoir wall and turtles go up them thinking they are heading upstream so they require rescuing.

#Abla has a spoggie in her mouth. Not sure if it’s dead or alive but no-one’s getting it from her - not even me 😬

All’s well that ends well. #Normie’s had his bottle & a brush so he’s happy now.

I’m not sure where Wally is but the ladies of the #CallissChookChateau have been quite talkative today & #Abla’s body clock needs a reset - it’s not #CuddleOClock yet 😂

@sandyhorne.bsky.social Held a brown goshawk in my hands today. One got trapped under the veranda chasing spogies. Amazing close up. So light and fast.
