Sheep News: Colin the Sheep Is Innocent of All Blame

Don't you just love modern technology? I'm off to Rome and I managed to find an internet access point to post this!
(Actually, I scheduled this post after reading the news yesterday)

A truly sheep interest story (vs. human interest). Will the angry mob fleece this sheep?

A BLACK sheep who was threatened by an anti-social behaviour officer for eating flowers at a town cemetery has been let off the hook.

...

Following extensive investigations, the finger was pointed at eight-month-old Colin, who cheated death as a lamb but was rescued and reared as a pet by Stroud resident Treena Deburiatte.


Was Colin wrongly accused? Would sheep do such a thing?

Off to Rome!

Hurray! I am almost off to Rome!
I hope Flapser will post something nice for you.

Skiing in Kirchberg in 2001

Back in Februari 2001 I went skiing in Austria. For the first time of my life.
Quite exiting. Usually I end up travelling to warm places. I originate from Jordan, so a cold, freezing and snowy environment was quite new to me.

But it was great! I went to Kirchberg, in the southern Alps of Austria. The skiing area is called Kitzbühler Alps.
Luckily I have a warm fleece.

Here you can see me looking out over the piste, near the ski lift on the top of the mountain. Great view!



And just a bit zoomed...


One of the more scary things was skiing down the black piste! It was so steap that I could not see the mountain below. Didn't know what was coming. Quite a thrill. One benefit of being a plush toy sheep: you can't break your bones when you fall...



A bit zoomed, still standing at the top of the black piste. It goes down all the way. So did I. I did not fall actually, but people should look out better for skiing sheep. They crossed my path without noticing me way too often.


I love the snow!

Rome Rome Rome Your Boat!

Actually, I will not be going by boat, but by plane.
Wednesday I will leave for five days to Rome in Italy. The only Rome I have seen before was the Metropolitain (subway) in Paris (Rome is a subway station).

I am looking forward to seeing Rome! I am accompanying a friend on a business trip, so unfortunately not five days of looking around. But two will do as well!
If you want a preview of Rome, have a look at the tourist info. I have seen Roman ruins in Turkey, but not the real stuff.

Ciao!
