Not caught up yet but just saying Hi to fc123, we have missed you. Sorry life has been so full-on. Do you still own the seaside house, or did you decide to sell it and look again when the time is right?

As if we would! Everyone puts up with my whinging (or at least is polite enough not to say otherwise).

Lovely to see you posting again btw

They put up with mine too.

Please don't feel you can only come on here when you are feeling fine and able to be upbeat. This is the *nice* people's thread, not the *happy* people's thread. You are welcome any time. When life is dragging you down, we would be there to do our little bit to boost you back up again.

Nice to hear from you now, anyway!

I would now like a goat. They are cuuuute.

As are piglets.

Good day out despite the showers.

There was a naughty border collie. She was herding ducks around a duck agility course. As soon as her handler (not sure what else he should be called) tended his back or was distracted commentating to us she would start creeping up on the ducks instead of sitting or lying down where she's been told to stay.
Made me chuckle

Bumped into the neighbours on the way home and have scored myself an invitation to dinner

Edit: disappointing on the beer front and no flamethrowing tractors

Two week count down. Fields are sprayed and horses cannot go out. Well, they can, because it kept some back, but one owner doesn't want hers where I kept back full time so I'm bringing in and out. I'll be glad when they can all go out again. Only I or fir will lead one of the horses ( yes, not even client will lead it) road side to the field, so they will have stay either out ( better) or in when I'm away. This has gone down not well.

An allegation of fraud with the voting has been made with regard to last night.

I'm not allowed to say more than this now, however looking at the evidence, it seems as though it could be completely genuine.

I read this morning about Macedonia and FYR Montenegro votes being banned by PWC after they were discovered to have dropped their jury votes and gone televote only:

Montenegro gave its 12 points to Serbia (the only 12 points Serbia were rewarded) and Macedonia to Albania (again its only 12 points).

Typical Europe, rejecting popular opinion on the grounds of it being too democratic

It's neither of those two, and involves votes not being counted in the first place.

There's also a slight issue of racial hatred (how it's being treated by the Austrian police) while the victim country was giving their votes.
