puppysitting and roo killing

Sorry its been a few days since I last blogged. There's been several people here for the clinic and we have been eating dinner or tea as they call it here by our house instead of in the main house where the Internet is so I haven't really felt like going all the way over to the main house to get on the Internet. Since I last posted, I told several of the riders that I live in a dungeon underneath the house I live in because I am just the slave labor since I am not a rider like Stephen. I also told them that I have slowly been stealing hay to weave myself a straw mat to sleep on. Everyone had a good laugh about it and I think some of them are still unsure if it is true or not. One of the riders named Jackie brought here puggle puppy and I almost stole it from here. His name is Pudge. He is so cute but really crazy. I puppy sat him this morning. He drove me crazy because I had him from about 6:45 to 8:15 in my bed and he wouldn't stop biting my hand and I didn't really want to get up. A few hours ago a kangaroo tried to jump through one of the fences and broke its back. Sam and I went out there and put it in a giant bag and attached it to a tractor and it got dumped into an old gold mine that was filled with water so it would drowned. So if you're counting that's a dead horse and a dead roo in the first week. I also find that I am doing to good of a job at everything and I'm learning everything too easily that I keep taking on more and more jobs so I end up with a lot of work which is fine because I didn't come over here to sitdown and do nothing all day, I came here to work. I am starting to find projects to do on my own just because I get bored while everyone else is riding and I have nothing to do. We are going to go to the river soon to swim and tomorrow is Vanessa's birthday party which will be a lot of fun. I still haven't left the farm apart from going to the river so hopefully today I can coax stephen into going today since most everything is done for the rest of the day.

I am going to start something today for my blogs for the rest of the time I'm here. It's an Aussie word of the day. Today I'll do a few because I pick up about 20 everyday.
