Good news form Canada that Boyd Leslie is on the mend.

Good luck to Cat and Emma today on their Alpaca training day. To Wills on his strimming and mountain climbing quest. To Tora on her 'I've now got use of both arms - officially day'. To Ren on a quick recovery.

Busy day at the Stud today with lots of comings and goings............

Enjoyable evening spent last night digesting curry - learning about the latest alternative approaches to swine flu cures - peg breaking and ruffling about - you had to be there.

More to report later.

Thought for the day:

'Always drink upstream from the herd.'

And the sign.
