I'm just a poor little Heffer, trying to survive and live life to the full amongst the rest of the cattle around the world, before I am eventually led to the slaughterhouse.....

Itchy cow



Can't believe it's nearly been a week since my last post - how times flies, and now it's December.

DECEMBER!!!

Anyhow, I was driving to work through some country bumpkin roads, surrounded mostly by farmland, when I glanced over towards a field occupied by a herd of cows - I like to check how my sisters are doing, especially in this cold weather, you know....

As always they looked splendid with their glossy coats and chunky backsides, yet one of them stuck out from the rest like a sore thumb.

Reason: She was standing on 3 legs (almost unheard of in the cattle world!), and using the fourth leg to scratch herself behind her ear. Clearly she had a strong urge to get rid of that itchy feeling.
As you can imagine, I spent the rest of the car journey roaring with laughter and told my colleagues as soon as I got to work.

Such a shame I didn't have an opportunity to take a photo (would have been to dangerous), so I drew an image instead - not the best drawing, but it should give one an idea of what I witnessed today....

Other than that, the week hasn't been that eventful - in fact I'd say has been depressing with the cold wind, and sporadic rainy crap weather, plus the fact that I am going to be extremely skint this month.

Can't even blame Christmas for money problems as I don't even celebrate it, which makes it worse. Oh well I'll just have to keep living on cereal for awhile.....
