Yesterday as well as dropping my phone in the drink, I lost one of my only pair of earrings (they have been my only pair for about twenty years, maybe longer) and I cannot for the life of me find my camera! This terrifies me – where could I have left Camera House, I am tired I think and my mind is focused on animals and I must have just put it down somewhere out there. It will be sitting on a post somewhere on the farm or on a ledge in the barn but I have searched and searched. Dropping and loosing important things. Bad. It has to be here somewhere. But I am afraid my perfect white-gold studs are gone forever, well one of them has anyway.
I need to speak to Saint Anthony.
These pictures are from my phone and not clever.
But the upside is everyone is ALIVE! 
Difficult is still VERY much alive, her lungs are still a mess but she is headbutting me for drinks, consumes everything I offer her and is even eating her grain now. A great improvement but still coughing and her wee abdomen is banging away. Not clear yet. The rescue remedy does seem to calm her though. I find this interesting, I give it to her before her injection, she has one more antibiotic shot this morning then she will be on her own.
All the other calves are well and bounding ahead now. Even putting on weight. I am going to start building them a pen so they can be outside and inside now that they are getting better. Just a little more time for Difficult to overcome this nasty threat then they can all go outside to play.
Little Bobby is up and about and galloping through the trees to see me when I come over. I am so happy with him.
I am watching Aunty Del and Lady Aster closely as they were bred 21 days ago today. So I am hoping for a quiet uneventful day from them. No mooing or jumping on each other. That would be nice! But we will see.
Now I have a day of Finding Things so I had better get busy .. thank goodness there was no rain! And Camera House is wearing his coat.
Have a great day, ‘

St Anthony is going to be busy today listening to us all sending him messages for you! Glad Camera House turned up (I bet he went and sat on the mower after having a wander around, so that John would find him in the morning). Still keeping everything crossed for the calves.
We attended a wedding last April, my John had his ‘good’ watch and his wedding ring on. (He seldom wears the ring, too easy to get it hung up and he has a plain jane watch for every day). We haven’t seen either since! He always slips the ring on the watch’s band and normally sets it on his dresser but I have no clue what he did with it then. Of course his question to me is ‘where did you put it?’ After searching and searching (even in the dress clothes he hadn’t worn),we’re reduced to hoping they’ll magically turn up somewhere. I wish you better luck with your earring!
So very glad the calves are on the mend, I much prefer happy endings!
I believe in the indestructibility of matter. Relax and it will turn up (always in the last place you look (of course).
I’m late tonight – Tillybud’s plane was late because of the monsoon,but we haven’t stoppedt talking and giggling since she came into the arrivals hall.
Hooray for recovering calves and recovered Canera House.

Sometime there are days like that! I sometimes feel like I spend half my time looking for things. Alive and well is good 🙂 So happy to hear the calves are responding to your loving care.
Be fashionable and just wear the one earring! I bet no one will even notice 🙂 ! Glad you found the camera tho’ . . . and that those bony four-leggeds are daily getting less so . . .
Good and bad sides… I prefer the material things, such as cameras or earrings, to be on the bad side and our beloved ones in the good side! And now, let’s ask this Saint Anthony to give them back! 😉
Do no give up hope !! I once lost an earring from a set my husband gave me , and it was found several years later, sweeping up in the garage of the house we were moving out of, NOT the house I lost it at !! Never did figure it out !! I was just so happy to have it back !!! Non the worse for wear either !!
that is fantastic, you must have been thrilled!
It’s horrid losing things. 😦
