how unusually interesting life can be sometimes, huh? I say this because of what happened to me today ^^; this afternoon I was watching over the sheep rather stupidly, just standing there and staring at the clouds. booooooring. but the excitement kicked up when I noticed Flossie calmly trotting away. she didn't come back when I called her, so I followed her to find she was going after a lamb that had strayed from the flock. the lamb went into a strand of very thin trees and out of my sight, so I sent Flossie back to the flock and went after the lamb myself. I watched it walking around for a moment as I went closer to it, but then out of nowhere, it just vanished. completely gone. I was mystified, wondering whether I was halucinating, or perhaps I fell asleep. so I continued to walk, and nearly disappeared instantly myself as I came across the source of the lamb's invisibility. it had fallen down a fairly steep little cliff, that hadn't been there a few days previously. I surmised that it had appeared when the rain we'd had washed away the soil. the lamb was fine; it was toddling around as though nothing had happened, on the other side of the little ravine. and as I took a step forward, the ground gave way beneath me. scared the hell outta me. I fell as well, and somehow ended up landing on my head before coming to rest, facing the sky. all I managed to do was say "oww" very quietly, or perhaps I imagined saying it, before I passed out. I'm glad Melanie came over, I really... really am. because she was the one who noticed that the flock was being guarded by the black and white dog, rather than the blonde boy. so she told Seamus, who sent Terry out to find me. apparently Flossie led him to the ravine, and he jumped down into it. he's a brave kid; that drop must've been twice my height, and he's much shorter than me. he found me in the spot I'd passed out, with the lamb curled up asleep beside me. and all he could do was laugh. he kicked me in the side gently, which woke me up, and I was surprised to find that he was smiling down at me instead of frowning. he said "had quite the tumble there, didn'tcha lad?" and pulled me up, laughing. after a thorough (and I mean REALLY THOROUGH Oo;; ) examination by my aunt, she released me to Melanie's care, where I remain. and that means I'm on bed rest. I'm not sick Melanie... ;;>> Melanie: yeah, but you did sprain a few things. wink xd true... so yeah, now I'm here. and that's what happened today.
