i should

really try and write here more often but i have been spending so much time at work in front of the computer that i don't feel like turning it on when i get home (& i want to be a phd student??) speaking of which, i got one of the canterbury doctoral scholarships for being the nerd that i am, so that's $45,000 to keep me entertained for the next three years. that's a LOT of beer. finished the kiwifruit monstrosity yesterday - i would take a picture but i'm too lazy to walk down the other end of the house to get my camera. got dolled up yesterday to go to a races party - nice little green feathery 1920's number. today was weaning/dagging/drenching day - started at 5am and spent the day covered in sheep shit - lovely. up the arthur tomorrow `til thurs, then it's off to welly for the big family christmas shindig. too much to do - whatever happened to summer holidays.
