I loved the sheep video too. I don;t think NZ sheep are so well trained! ;D

Thank you Angie, yes, improving rapidly to the extent I now have a going-back-to-work date, 6th August. I knew it had to come but the time off's been good while it lasted. Still going to doc clinics and having dressings changed but perhaps not for long now.

We are delighted!
Cavendish is given a fantastic lead out by the man in the Yellow Jersey to win a superb sprint on the
Champs-Élysées and Wiggins wins the Tour de France ... their team-mate Froome is second overall. What a race!!  8) 8) 8)

I'm surprised you couldn't hear our shouts in NZ!

Watched our first ever ( in the garden ) Common or Viviparous Lizard, Zootoca vivipara, for about 10 mins today. ;D ;D ;D He then scooted off into the long grass. He was a particularly handsome male with a pronounced blue colour to his tail, when the sun  :o caught him right.
Note - this species was formerly Lacerta vivipara.
We are absolutely made up, that this species has chosen to join us ;D ;D

According to our Culture Minister, Mr Jeremy Hunt: " No honour is too little for Bradley Wiggins". Said twice today during a radio interview. Mr Hunt received a First from Oxford!

Not in English I hope Gerry. Is there a "Murdoch College", perhaps he attended that? ::)

In PPE David. I did wonder about some kind of Murdoch connection.
