Hi Michelle Therese sorry to hear you have been feeling low but pleased to see you are feeling better now sometimes it helps just talking about things, love the story about the cow alert and good luck with the book,

When you speak silently you never know who is listening. I love reading your entries and feel all your ups and downs as if you were with me in person Take care and enjoy life - you never know what is round the corner
Cathy from Foothills of the Dandenongs Melbourne Australia
Glad to hear you're feeling better, Michelle, and good luck with the writing. I was very sorry to read about people being unkind to you. Some people seem incapable of putting themselves in someone else's shoes, nor can they accept people who are even slightly different from themselves. But I hope that the good outweighs the bad for you. Best wishes.

Isn't it just so true that people are like busses...you don't see one for ages and then....there you were at the Douny Show in the glorious sunshine...and away from the farm. But I'm guessing not away for more than an hour or two on a day like this when a farmer could do a lot of catching up on the land! I think the velvet dress and bonnet with jeans looked very individualistic and nice and pretty tame compared to the large gel in tattoos, a bustier, layers of long skirt and black biker boots. Certainly not worth a rude titter!

FC: and pray tell, what did you (or fpu) look like at the fair?
mjc from NM,USA
FC one of these days you'll have to quit spying - and come say hello!! Thank you so much for your kind compliments. What on earth are gel tattoos??
Michelle Therese from sipping coffee
Gel as in gal... And I'm not telling, mjc...but someday fpu may just scare the wits out of Moo and say 'hello'!
Flying Cat from lurking...
I must admit that I'd prefer your FPU to say hello. If a cat jumped out of the bushes and struck up a conversation I just might think I'm having a religious experience!
Michelle Therese from Moooo!
In some of Moo's pictures she dresses like a Mennonite/Amish. She pleads guilty to being a Catholic (so do I, Moo, so do I), and so the fashion she flits must be purely idiosyncratic. Of course, as a good born and raised American she also wears jeans, albeit patchwork (from your earlier reporting, FC) - but that may be the fashion on the islands. Here "camouflage" is the in-thing, though it may now be passe, except for those of us who insist on buying our gear from Cabela's. Personally, I would rather be the man in black than wear desert camouflage.
mjc from NM,USA
I have a few pics of me in desert fatigues! Sadly, they aren't on the computer. I'm posing with the same helicopter that is on that Transformers movie. My bird!! Ok...back to the dictionary so's I can learn how to spell catsyrup. (I love all sorts of styles by the way. And I think many styles look well when combined!)
Michelle Therese from Moooo!
A good part of the Transformers (so my daughter told me) was filmed in the White Sands Missile Range in southern NM. I don't know whether there are ospreys in Orkney, but the USAF ones can be seen flying over Albuquerque from time to time.
mjc from NM,USA
It is a matter of some concern to a cat of high sensibilities that there may be a RECIPE for catsyrup...
Flying Cat from In hiding
Nick Nairn's Haggis in Catsyrup. Not served in Melrose (at least not in the establishment I've frequented there), thank heavens. I understand readily why you now have a worried mind, FC.
mjc from NM,USA
Thank you for your kind understanderingness mjc...(I see the rats are leaving the sinking ship dubya in droves).

Unfortunately, Karl is accustomed to swimming in murky waters.
mjc from NM,USA
He'll go no more a-roving...
Flying Cat from Cheshire Grin
I am afeared he may yet find a way to hide behind a bush (nah, not a burning one, but rather a badly wilted specimen).
mjc from NM,USA
...a rapidly detumescing bush...such an appealing mental picture...though the burning option is not unattractive...
Flying Cat from Cheshire Grin
What a great story!
Donna from Shetland
So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
