It's been today. Another show done and dusted as the old saying goes. Oh and my feet are sore and and don't know whether to go and have a nice hot show and hit the hay. Or just skip the shower and fall into bed. The kids did well. And I got Jayden to do a few things with Grandma when he stayed here last. I entered them in for him and he got a two 1st's and a 2nd. I'm sure he'll be pleased when I show him the certificates. I'll have to make sure he can come to the next one and see his stuff in the show with all the other entries. He couldn't come today as they were busy with Tee-ball and I think he had a soccer wind up after that.    

We have a bull named Benny and he's rather a naughty bull. In fact he's been very mischievious since he was a calf. I bid on him at a city of swan auction. The reason he was there was he and some of his cow mates were really good escape artists. And it was the third or maybe fourth time in quite a short period that they had just pushed their way through fences and were found wandering around. So the previous times the owner had paid the impound fee and got them back. But he decided enough was enough and they were more trouble than they were worth. Usually on our property he just goes into places and paddocks we'd rather him not.       For  the past few months we've had him and two hiefers down around our boundry as there is quite a lot of space and it needed to be mowed down before summer. I actually said to Vic a few weeks back we should move them back up into the main paddocks. Anyway he said just a bit longer. 

Today Benny and co decided to go visit our neighbors animals. They were in the paddock with the horses and their steer.  So we had to get them back. And guess what we have had rain today. And right when we attempted to get them back not only was it raining. But the thunder and lighening started and to top it off, hail. That's right it's summer or almost and we're out there in hail. Unbelievable. Anyway after much coxing with the shy cow they are all safe and sound back in the paddocks, where dare I say it. They can't go wandering to other peoples places. TOUCH WOOD>   

Oh it's great to be home. Nice to be in my own bed. Even better to be next to my wonderful hubby. All the animals are fine, the tomato plants and cucumbers seem to have doubled in sized in just 10 days. He's done a great job looking after everything.  The balineese are wonderful, friendly calm people will miss there smiling faces. First visit and it definatley won't be my last. Maybe it can be a christmas shopping trip every 2 or 3 years. I'll have to keep swapmeeting to save up. MMM, good idea I think !!! 

I can NOT believe it. My girl dubbed by her friends and teachers in Singapore as a real shop-a-holic, said tonight I have had enough of shopping. Jess and I just look at one another in absolute disbelief. She said tommorow I just want to chill by the pool. So I guss since it is the last day, OMG that's gone so quick. I should just let her. Besides maybe she can just keep an eye on Jayden and Ben, whilst Jess and I get the last minute things. That is IF we have forgotton to buy anything, and I think not. Maybe we'll all have a chill day.  

Can't wait to see Vic, I have really missed him, soppy but true.
