Woolly hats and Wwoofers

This ranch is BUZZING !! John Trisha and Jodie have all blended into the life on the ranch and like little ants we all scurry round trying hard to avoid the rain mist ..drops...torrents that seem to have become a way of life round here at the moment. John and Trisha are part of family and young Jodie has just fitted into our little jigsaw like she was made to be here. At any time of the day Trisha and I can be found somewhere in the poo...and she's still smiling, John, in his "designer" (not !!!) brown woolly hat can be found with a hosepipe, chainsaw hammer or stapler and he's still smiling too...I swear my family need psychiatric help and then there is Jodie. Jodie is our Wwoofer volunteer, 5 foot nothing but that young lady will have a go at anything and at anytime of the day she can be found shadowing Greg and she is smiling too. Oh...then there's Greg ! Currently poor Greg has a "man cold"..uh...flu / pneumonia / strep / bronchitus. He's NOT smiling, he's snuffling coughing groaning and moaning, he's wandering around with a kitchen towel attached to his nose ( duck tape,...now why didn't he think of that ???!!) He has a bad back, a really bad back and a knee with an owie, a bad owie oh ...he's also got finger splits, they are bad too. If he were a horse he would have been shot, fortunately he's not a horse and I'm happy to keep him around. Even with all his problems he can be found errecting, pulling down, fencing and digging ...with his shadow Jodie. We had an interesting night last night. Not much scares me, but fire does. Dinner was going to be a grand affair, roast dinners and ranch life don't seem to fit on the same page but home grown lamb Yorkshire puddings vegetables and oven roasted potatoes were on the menu. Good job we are flexible !!!! I opened the oven door and my nice clean oven had had a role change and had turned into a furnace. Flames met me and all my good intentions went out the window... with the smoke, the menu changed !!!. I know I want a new oven, I want a new kitchen, darn it ! Greg put the fire out before too much damage had been done, all my kitchen needs is cleaning, not replacing. Oh yes....and the smoke alarm works. Luckily we have a "no blame" policy...lets see if it holds up !! So, it's time to go down to the barn again, another day dawns. Everyone is still smiling over the breakfast table lets see what today brings us. Take care, M
