A funny Thing Happened 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
A funny thing happened this week, well actually two funny things.
 
Bart & I decided to take a few days out to go to Turangi leaving the able-bodied Sam to look after our chooks & geese as well as the shop!
 
We arrived to discover that we had left our suitcase at home! The car was full of fishing & hunting gear, food, whisky - of course, but sadly no clothes. 
 
I e-mailed Sam the news and to check out how he was getting on only to discover he had his own tale of woe:
 
..."Well, all was going well until I got to the Geese. They were freaking out about the bread and I guess they thought that someone would get left out, so they "attacked" me. I swear, they went crazy for the bread, as I had in it a bag and was tossing it by hand, but that was not enough. I was trying to back up and tripped on the feed pail, and ass over tea kettle, I wound up in the water bucket!!!!! Fortunately, I only had my t-shirt on, but my jeans got soaked!!!"
 
Poor Sam he gets a special reward for going above and beyond the call of duty.
 
Bart decided to treat me to a new outfit and took me into The Sporting Life. Between him and the lovely Graham who owns the shop, they soon had me dressed like a Commando version of a Barbie Doll!
 
Life with Bart is never dull! Although secretly - the clothes are very comfy!
 
 
Bart with his  'Brownie'He caught a whopping 6 1/2 pound brownie which I am cold smoking in the Bradley Smoker
