Following on from yesterday's drama...
I'm bit achy and bruised today and was hoping today would be a good day.
Word clearly spreads quickly overnight.
Not through FB, not local gossip - but through the cows!
We arrived at the field today to find what can only be described as the entire Cornish cattle population lined up at the fence like spectators at Wimbledon.
No grazing, no moo-ing, just judgement!
One of them definitely made eye contact with me in a way that said "go on, do something stupid"
The pressure was real!
But, thank god no drama in the field today. It was the first time Sybil had come face to face with a cow, so why not let her meet them all at once?
The field had also been cut so it looked lush.
If we visit the field tomorrow morning before it gets too hot, I fully expect the cows to bring snacks and scorecards with them. It wouldn't surprise me if they had a quiet word to the bees.
It wasn't until I took my last dog home at the end of the day, and the gods looked down at me and thought "Hmm, she still has all 10 fingers - unacceptable!"
As the dog (not mentioning any names, but could be the one who tried wiping me out yesterday!) jumped out of the van and ran in to greet nanny, he decided he wanted custody of my finger. I don't recommend getting your finger caught in the metal ring on the lead by the way!
After 10 minutes swearing and trying to hold the tears in, I realised the finger was still attached. I survived.
The finger is very swollen, bruised and deeply offended.
I however, am living in fear of what tomorrow will bring me!
As long as all the dogs are OK!! On a lighter note, they all had a cracking day.
