Back Home Again

Whoa 3 weeks of internet deprivation is no joke. haha yea been spending the last 3 weeks at a farm in perth... it's a really ulu place so me n my friends were pretty 'people-deprived' as well...

But i did have a great time.. it's more like a big holiday than work attachment.. the farmer was really nice n we had alot of free time.. we seemed to be going sight seeing more than doing any farm work... we went whale watching in albany, bushwalking/mountain climbing in the porongorups, visit lotsa wineries, cycling in perth, shopping in perth, visit freemantle market, go horse riding etc etc.. haha

well but i did do stuff at the farm like cow drenching n sheep needling.. it's a pretty big farm with 1500 cows n 13000 sheep.. the sheepdogs are so adorable n active :) i have a large or-cheh on my leg where a sheep rammed into me though.. haha. and my fren got kicked by a cow.. luckily just hit the side of the thigh n not at full strength...
pretty cold at the farm at night.. after the 1st wk we all abandoned our beds to sleep in the living room where the fireplace and heater was.. oh yea and it was a real wood fire n we had to chop our own wood so that was quite cool. the stars are reaaalllly pretty at night plus if u're lucky u can see shooting stars too.. and we have fun going spotlighting at night.. walk ard the farm with a spotlight trying to see animals.. the farmer brought us in his 4WD one day at night to go spotlighting with him in the further regions of the farm n we saw like kangaroos n foxes n rabbits n stuff so that was cool. plus he did wheelies n skidded ard in his car in the swampy areas :P

oh and my fren crashed the van we rented into a fence in the farm. it was raining really heavily and the car skidded a bit over a muddy puddle n she over-compensated n we spun a full round b4 crashing into the fence. luckily it was just a wire fence n we missed the wooden posts n trees just a few metres down the road. i'm definately not letting my parents know or they would just freak out. haha.

well back home now with my doggies so that's really great. saphi was really sick a couple of weeks ago n was super thin and vomitting n stuff again.. and had to be put on drip again.. my poor doggie.. good thing she's much better now :) hmm well hope my 2 wks in s'pore dont fly by too fast!
