    HMM, NO, I THINK....

    Amazing what they can see through the fringe. Skye terriers have a heavy fringe designed to stop soil getting in their eyes when they dig badgers out of burrows. Our Skye runs around the yard at full speed doung zoomies, and plays soccer at a great rate of knots without crashing into anything.

    We watched a home being built next door to us. A lot of shonky things went on, the owners were only 60ks away, but only visited 5 times in 12 months.

    Bloody ugly looking building, why would anyone want to live in a high rise like that. These high rise apartments have been having problems with shonky builders for 20+ years. Are people really that naive, and don't read or listen to the news.
