On the weatherforecast yesterday they said it would be -2 degrees Celcius this night, and bloody hell I think they were right - I'M FREEZING!
Life on Stephen and Emilys farm "Aranda" together with Sarah 16, Sam 14, the two dogs Milo and old father Jack, the two lovley cats Jessica and Simba plus all the other animals (cattle, sheep, hens) couldn't be better!
I've been introduced to drenching and vaccinating cattle and sheep, I've done it myself, we got pictures of it =) I know how to get a sheep to surrender and lay on it's back, I'm feeding the hens, repairing fences and having a great time. Yesterday was Emeliys birthday and I got the luck to meet her lovley parents John and Hillary. Today I helped one of Stephens friends, Greg, to move and I introduced Sam to Phase 10 and ended the day with watching a movie with Sarah. Sydney is NOTHING compered to what I'm experience now, this is wonderful, life is great!
No pictures of my stay here yet though, Stephen and Emilys internet connection got limited upload/download capacity (1gig per month) so I try to use internet carefully. Take care, lots of love, Christian

We are soooo pleased to hear that you have such a great time! It is like music, lovely music.... Låter hur härligt som helst. Det bor uppenbarligen en liten bondgårdsmänniska i flera av familjen Lundmarks medlemmar! Njut av tillvaron, sonen!
Massor av kramar och v.r.o.d!
Coooool! "Sydney's nothing compared to this!" The real Australia. To some. To me. Congrats! Glad you like it!
How do you make a sheep surrender? I've always wanted to know... :-)
Cecilia: Depends on if your a righty or lefty. I'm a righty so I'll explain it from my point of view. There are different techniques to do this but I'll do it like this. Stand a little bit left and behind of the sheep. Now, everything from on has to be done in one floating movment. With your left hand, grab the nose of the sheep and turn in right and back, place your left leg close to the sheeps left back leg, with your right elbow press on the right side of the sheeps back to the left. Now, hopefully if you done everything right the sheep will fall to its left, quickly grab the sheeps both front legs and lift them up. As soon as the sheep knows that is has no chance of getting back on its feet it stops struggeling. So as long as you don't let go of its frontlegs you can hold it like that for as long as you want to. Go ahead and try it on Rickard! =)
MaPa och Charlotte: Allting här är bra! Skall fortsätta WWOOFa ett tag framöver, det är kul!
