Well, the sheep appear to be going to Eritrea.  There has been some question as to whether they will then be on-sold to Saudi Arabia, the original destination.  We don't know.  Eritrea is being given $1million Australian to take the

sheep.  They need the money, but gee, I wish I was paid money like that every time I wanted to buy something and was then given what I needed rather than paying out for it.  Sour grapes?  Probably.
 
Things are pretty tight in our household at the moment.  We have about $400 per fortnight spare cash, $200 of which goes on petrol, and the rest has to be for utilities, food and Alice's classes.  We may have to go vegetarian. 
 
Tomorrow is the last day to put in tax records for the previous financial year to the Australian Taxation Office.  I, in my usual lousy filing system, have no idea where I put all of the Group Certificates which state how much Brian and I have earned and from who.
 
So, this is about to be a REALLY short Article, and probably an even shorter Zeke and Ursula, as I desperately try to find the relevant papers.  Some, I found a while back and actually put in the right place.  Pray for me.
