Esme is a Four Letter Word

Let's just say one of the new chooks (Henny, I think) has significantly less feathers than she did yesterday.

My boots are a bit stiff and sometimes uncomfortable, but I can't say that they fit any better after a good chewing, having their insoles removed and torn into shreds, and being left on the lawn overnight to soak up the dew.

And if I'd wanted to gather about a dozen big strong PD rams as a souvenir of our walk this morning and take them home with us across a couple of paddocks, then I would have been well chuffed with Esme's efforts earlier today.

But I didn't. And I'm not.

My older dogs have learned a new command recently though: "ESME!!!!" apparently means "make yourselves extremely scarce".

And I dropped the camera on the stone verandah this morning, totally smashed the casing, so no more photos on this little blog for the forseeable future. Esme, esme, esme.
