I like walking and looking around. There's plenty of fresh air here. I can see sheep on the horizon. There are no lambs yet in the field. I walked with my two dogs up to the church and the letterbox in the wall. I needed to send a birthday card to my niece. I was too late for today's collection. There's a weather cock on the farm by the church - but it's not a cock! It's a sheep.

"All on one side, like Smoothy's wedding." "Oll war ü dn trenewen, pecar'a demedhyans Smoothy." "Always head and chief, like Jimmy Eellis 'mong the cats."
