What made you SMILE today :)

[Leftwinger]

I smiled because starting from 4pm this arvo, I have a week off. I also smiled when I taste-tested a little of the 40% spirit with grated ginger steeping in it, for turning into a wicked sipping liqueur on cold nights around the campfire. This stuff puts lead in your pencil!

The sight of my lemongrass plant, over a metre tall also made me smile. The odd bucket of pond water has done it the world of good—the positive power of piscine poo!

[Leftwinger]

I always found porcine poo great for the veges and fruit trees. I didn' smile while shovelling out the sty though.

bwahahahaha

I agree the positive power of porcine poo puts the power of piscine poo profoundly into a paltry position.

But it is much nicer sloshing pond water around than cleaning a pigsty!

The fact that I had an awesome afternoon and evening with family/friends celebrating some incredible news.

Life is good

But for the extraordinarily abbreviated opportunity to edit I would have eviscerated my excrement extravaganza to to read:

The positive power of porcine poo positively pisses on the puny power of piscine poo, but its a lot of shit anway.

Sitting warm and dry in my car looking over the trial ground.

In the distance, a streak that was an Italian greyhound zooming through an agility course at top speed. Closer by a line of dogs patiently sitting waiting for their handlers to return after 3 minutes, there a utility dog badly botching a trial, oops while despite rain coming down the next competitor in Open obedience coming in to the ring.

Part of utility is food refusal--handler is a few metres away with back turned to dog but still the mutt turns the food down! That is hard!

My mutt came into the jumping ring with such speed, energy and goodwill she had run past several obstacles bombing the trial in about 1 second flat--must try and channel the energy tomorrow morning!

In Novice obedience everything was going really well, she was right up with me, even the right about turn where I turn my back on the dog trotting on my left hand side went fine but at the left about turn she decided she needed to pee and ran out the ring, then decided she liked where she was and turned a deaf ear to my return command. Oops. Nevermind, a good start, tomorrow might be better.
