Danger! Sheep!

Little fluffy sheep. How cute are they? Not so damn cute, I can tell you. This week I've been:

1) Pinned against a wall by a ram. Trust me, they are strong!
2) Thrown to the floor by a miffed ewe
3) Had sheep vomit splatter on my boots (sorry!)
4) Sliced my hands numerous times on sheep hoof clippers.
5) Had my wrist twisted round about 360 degrees by a grumpy sheep.

The last item in my list saw me take a visit to the emergency room, where I sat for 4 hours before being seen by a hacked off doctor. I was shoved through to x-ray...where a woman was in the queue before me. I'd like to break here to say she was a far more deserving case than me. She'd just been run over by a train. She was remarkably perky despite this fact.

The x-ray showed no breaks (according to hacked off doctor, though he said he would get a radiologist to double check...ah confidence!). He then shipped me off to the pharmacy for some lovely painkillers and a bizare wrist splint contraption.

Sheep - they may look fluffy, but they're damn 'ard!
