Sigrid's laptop has also been long expected. Don't think I've mentioned it. It arrived a few weeks ago. She had spent about two months hunting through websites, trying to decide between hundreds of options. Then we had several weeks attempting to buy one from eBay. I joked that she'd been trying for a laptop so long, and I understood the pain of her loss as she lost each auction, and that I wanted to be there for the delivery when she finally got one. Don't think she's given it a name yet. I'm pretty sure it's a girl though.
Bronwyn and Rachael have been off on Girl Guide camp for the weekend. We've had some huge thunderstorms, so I hope they're alright. I've been looking after Sarah for the weekend. Bronwyn got turned down for Guide leadership, but there wasn't a reason given, and she was rather upset. She's got in touch with head office to try and sort it out.
It's still really wet - possibly the wettest I've ever seen it. One of the sheep got stuck in the mud. Bronwyn went out and tried to pull it out, but ended up getting stuck herself. At the time, she had a sore throat, amd couldn't shout very much. So she phoned me up with her mobile and said she was stuck. I offered to bring out the tractor, but apparently it was just her, stuck nearly to the top of her gumboots. I managed to pull her out, and then we dragged the sheep to higher ground. Poor sheep didn't make it though, and got stuck again later in the week and died. I managed to wheelbarrow it to a quiet corner out of sight. There was also another sheep down last night, but this one looked like it was about to go into labour. Allan got it over to the sheds. Hopefully it'll do better than the other one!
