todayiamadaisyIf you're a bit bored, f-list, and looking for something to do, why not mosey on over to my local paper's website and vote in their latest reader poll? Should shearing be considered a sport? Well, no, obviously, but once you vote you get to see the results, so I know that sixty-six people (33% of respondents) have clicked yes (sixty-five, really, because one of the yes votes is mine. I'm wild and contrary like that).
On my way to work this morning, I came across a stand-off. There was a car stopped in the middle of the road and a man and his guide dog (or blind dog, as my grandmother would have it) waiting to cross. The driver of the car was obviously trying to be polite, stopping to let the man and his dog across, but, of course, the man couldn't see that and the dog knows not to cross if there's a car there. I also had to cross the road, so I said to the blind man, 'The driver's stopped to let us go,' and he and I and his dog all crossed the road together. They could have been there all day otherwise.
