About

Conversations, wine, coffee and socks are nice too.

For the most part this tumblelog isn't a beacon of erudition however occasionally I post serious entries about healthcare and the image of nursing.

I have a surprising number of fashion and chaps related posts.

I run Space Rules, contribute to We Come From A Sunburnt Country a tumblr about Australia and a tumblr dedicated to gastronomic atrocities of the past called Aspic And Other Delights .

Currently living in Port Hedland and working in South Hedland, Western Australia at the regional hospital.

Ask a question.

This little guy was nicknamed Shrek. He was a New Zealand sheep that just wanted to be left unshorn, and he remained so for six years, only to be ensnared when he was 10 years old and shorn on live television (apparently there isn’t much to do in New Zealand… but I totally would have watched it too).

When he was shorn, he shedded a 60-pound fleece (enough to make 20 large men’s suits), which was auctioned off for charity.

    Holy crap, that is one fleecy sheep. His story is sad, though. Trapped and shorn on live television?!
