Remember my brother Ant?

The cowboy who delivers great birthday messages and builds birthday bucking bulls?

He singled handedly turned my mood around today.

This morning wasn’t going so well. This winter has been unseasonably dry and we woke to realise our tank was dry.

No water = no coffee, no hand washing, no teeth brushing, no toilet flushing. You get the point.

To top matters off, my caffeine-deprived brain couldn’t compute the NO WATER situation, so I spent the morning instinctually turning on taps, only curse my short-term memory.

Then, a little ray of sunshine on a cloudy but NOT FREAKING RAINING day….

Ant’s sow had her much awaited piglets!

Anthony's piglets ant and the piglets PIGLETS

Then, in some kind of porcine display of magic, the water came back on and my Oprah tickets – that had been so long coming I wondered if they were stolen – arrived.

Thursday, consider yourself redeemed!

how’s your Thursday going?

how cute are piglets?

    * It’s one thing to love piggies, an entire other thing to smell like one!

    Well I think the little piglets are just beautiful. I used to have a piggery in another life long long ago and I thought the little Piggys were so cute. Great photos. X
