are at it again, and this time, I missed out on being collected and scraped out of my car by a paramedic by a hair's breath.
I have sat in wonder when we have driven into town (Warwick) and watched people approach Roundabouts... talk about Rafferty's Rules!!! One thing also that I have noticed since becoming a Queensland girl is that people in this town have a difficulty understanding the basic principle of stopping at a stop sign....
I was taught that stop meant......... to prevent from proceeding, acting, operating, continuing etc. etc. There are actually 14 separate meanings in the The Macquarie Dictionary - obviously not available up here in God's Country (well, I did bring this version with me when we crossed the border).
Sorry but the excuse, "I didnt see you".. doesnt really make the grade when I saw that this particular woman didnt even turn her head or even stop at the stop sign. Scary isnt it?
I was lucky because I was meandering to work through Allora and was doing under 60kph. That is what saved my life.
Grrrrrr.......... double Grrrrr............. triple Grrrr even!! Dont get me started with this subject!
Let me change the subject before I get thinking about what happened!
Ok.... What's happening here at Massie Lodge. (Change the subject, change the subject, keep focussed!)
Sunny our Kbenjar yearling being broken in has been taken to the track with Paul Moody and is going nicely through the barriers. What a girl! A week or so more with Paul and she will be coming home for a nice break before going up to Paul Niperess. We are off to see her working at Warwick Racecourse tomorrow so hopefully some piccies there!
Weather has been of a freezing nature with the winds feeling that they have been coming off the arctic caps, so we have been keeping ourselves in doors unless we need to ... of course the feeding still goes on and all the other bits and pieces that has to happen... but Iam sure that all the residents are happy to have their extra heavy winter coats on.... and you should see them on the weanlings, incredible as we have 7 woolly mamoths running around.
Apart from that all is quiet (and cold) .... there is, however, a murmering that one of the babies is going to be cut as he is getting quite difficult to handle.... hmmm watch this space!
Iam now going to stop this blog as I am tired and need to get to bed! (Stop meaning finish and not carry on.....lol)
Life is fantabulous isnt it?
