And I didn't know that 'dag' is a word used for messy bums. I will think of that word when I am sorting out the fleeces for spinning! <br />And crikey!!! 'imparfait' and 'plus que parfait': what the hell are those? I am only at easy conversation French, and even that is creaky. But: since you are going to have a go with your Dolmetsch so you can get an early start for the Cristmas season, I will make a real effort at my French books. Blessings to you for inspiring me to do so.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-66980285485695316542010-07-04T11:34:40.702+02:002010-07-04T11:34:40.702+02:00Hello Vera,

Why would they want to leave such a lovely place? After all, they are not silly.<br />Did you know that there is a word for the matted droppings and dirt on a sheep's bottom? In Australia and NZ it is "dag".<br /><br />Ondine<br /><br />PS I have unearthed my old Dolmetsch and a book of Christmas carols to start my daily task, so I hope you are working on your French. Soon I will be asking questions about the difference between the "imparfait" and the "plus que parfait"!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-68974873162365548822010-07-03T21:51:55.823+02:002010-07-03T21:51:55.823+02:00Duta:) Indeed, never a dull moment!

I used to have 'dull' back in the UK, but I continually count my blessings that my life has been 'un-dulled'!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-21567751410099194592010-07-03T18:19:25.312+02:002010-07-03T18:19:25.312+02:00"..legalising Max" - Wow , that sounds i..."..legalising Max" - Wow , that sounds important. And you have some tomato chutney for him "to recycle", which is also important.<br /><br />I like it that your dogs are not just dogs, they have roles to play : Bools - chaser of lizzards, Guss - guardian of the door mat - LOL.<br /><br />The sheep are also not passive. They are warding off the flies with their tails.<br /><br />Never a dull moment with your animals, Vera.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-79342250332485870912010-07-03T15:13:23.776+02:002010-07-03T15:13:23.776+02:00Diane:) I am glad you enjoy the posts, and perhaps...Diane:) I am glad you enjoy the posts, and perhaps when you live in France all the time you will be able to have animals again. For me, life would be quite dull without our animals around, even though they do need a lot of looking after. And I will count my fingers before I start Operation Gussy, and at the end, as you suggest!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-26895930317751519752010-07-02T20:20:58.663+02:002010-07-02T20:20:58.663+02:00Vera I just love your posts, they are so interesti...Vera I just love your posts, they are so interesting. I love hearing about the sheep, the goats to be, the pig/s and your dog. I have had animals all my life and now I have none. With living in two countries it is just not practical, and the 2 up 2 down over winter in the UK, is not even big enough for me, let alone an animal. Meanwhile I fall in love with your animals and follow closely what they are up to. I used to work for a vet for many years, I am sure all will work fine for Gus and the end result will be a happy dog. Just count all your fingers at the end:) DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782670749466305626noreply@blogger.com
