Australian Kelpie
Jan. 23rd, 2022 10:44 pmI didn't think I had anything to write today, but then I saw the dog breed for today's title. Amazing coincidence: tonight I watched the first episode of a new series about kelpies, in which five kelpie pups from the same litter are being trained up as cattle/sheep dogs.
I had a kelpie as a child, given to me as a pup when I was about eight. Silkie, black and white, half kelpie, half border collie. She was a pet rather than a working dog, but she was extremely good at herding our chickens, whether anyone wanted them herded or not. She was less successful herding our cats, who ignored her.

23. What is your favourite thing to eat or drink in winter?
That seems so far away in the middle of summer. If I imagine a cold winter's day... maybe a tender beef and veg casserole with some cheese and chive dumplings? Or just a big mug of hot chocolate with a shake of orange zest and chilli.
