firstly the show. jem was racing in the flyball competition. jem likes his flyball. some may say a little bit too much. hes a little bit hard to handle in the ring. to cut a long story short jem was involved in an altercation in the ring with one of his team mates, cobber the kelpie, and jem was black carded, ie, excused from the competition. ie, sent home to think about his behaviour. he may now get suspended from flyball for a while. this affects the whole team obviously, and everyone was very upset and it wasnt much fun after that.
but i ask you, does this look like a dog that should be black carded?!
seriously, hes a cattle dog. what more do i need to say?at least i got to see some other parts of the show this year. i saw the hand knitting displays, some nice work there. i really liked the spinning, there were people there doing it and the hand spun that won prizes was lovely. i saw the lady selling opal but i didnt buy any, i have enough sock wool and if i buy anything else it will be some jo sharp silkroad to make beanies with. i did get some knitting of my own done, the band for the wrap is coming along and the first waratah sock now has a turned heel.
i watched lots of the yard dog trials in preparation for my trial this coming weekend and talked to my instructors about what i would need to do compared to what the competitors i saw were doing. i came away feeling relatively confident. in their own trials, my instructors did well, jenny scored a 94 out of 100 in the first round of the open with dude but robert ended up beating her in the final, coming equal second with sarge. he also got second in improver with chief, so they were happy at least!
the only thing i brought, apart from coffee, was this little make up purse which i have put my scissors, pins, tape measure etc in.
the best part of the weekend was having jo and dave to stay over, with 6 extra dogs! possum had a great time running around with kobe and annie the puppy, very cute. while making potato salad i did however, manage to nearly slice off the end of my finger. gross photo warning:
well, if spidey's gonna do it, so will i!
unfortunately this injury makes knitting harder rather than easier. but thats ok, i'll soldier on :)
ok enough whinging from me.
