G,day folks, firstly i must appoligise for being absent for so long...
The farm is poking along with lambing still happening ,the maidens from last year,because of the nature of the flock and the mix of seasonal and non seasonal breeds my lambing can occur at any time. Some of the older ewes that lambed way back im May are starting to being paid attention by the rams again. I will try to add some photos of the lambs from my phone I have never done this before soit might take me a few goes to get it right.
As for me, my recovery is sort of ok, their has been a small rise in the cell count in the last two tests which I am following up on this week with my Cancer dr. I guess it will involve a series of new tests, but we shall see.
I saw that Finnie was asking about the radio program, but at this point I do not envisage it will return. One of the main things will my recovery is to reduce as much stress as I can in my dad to day life and the production and presentation of the radio program was always a bit of a worry to make things run smooothlyon the day.
So, I have managed a photo from elsewhere,I will try to add some more later....T.O.R.

Good to hear you're still with us. We've missed you and your updates. By the way that lamb is beautiful! New, obviously, with the clean, crisp colors
let us know how you are doing more often.

Well I certainly understand how the show would be stressful, and I wouldn’t want to wish that on you! I’m glad you are enjoying your sheep. It’s really good to hear from you! Stay well and stress free so you can get that cell count down.

So very glad to see the update... That lamb is really nice... the colors just add to it...
Sad that you are not going to do anymore radio shows but perfectly understandable... Anything to keep the stress levels down. Sorry to also hear about the slightly elevated cell counts, hoping that the dr visit will give you some answers and possibilities to work on getting the count back down.
Please drop us a post every so often... and you know that the pictures are always appreciated.

The PSA cell count can go up a little bit. If it goes up more than the doctor is happy with they may recommend radiation. Take it easy and things will work out for you. DH's count went up a little, bt the doctor was not overly worried about it and said that they will watch it every 6 months. If it goes up to the point that it shows the cancer coming back there are new medications they can use. DH had a fast growing and aggressive for when they discovered it and he has been in remission for 18 years now.

Thank you all for your support and kind words. Currently it is very dry for this time of the year. We have had weeks of drying winds that have come out of the desert. Many of my neighbors have dry sown summer crops and the outlook for them is not to flash. Lucky for me I am still building my flock numbers and I am well understocked. I will endeavor to make time to post both words and pictures...T.O.R.
