Glad to hear your wife is ok, and back playing bridge, Nathan. Having 
taken it up myself in September, I find it addictive.
Like the shepherd photos and notice he's not using collies which are de 
rigueur over here. When I was growing up my parents had a holiday home 
in West Cork with about 9 hectares, so kept sheep on it to keep the 
grass down.? The flock certainly were good lawnmowers, but went down 
with so many diseases - foot rot, liver fluke, fly strike, etc., etc.... 
- that we all became experts on sheep ailments, and handy at rebuilding 
dry stone walls and broken sheep fences. I also became fairly useful at 
tail docking and castration - skills that I don't seem to need in 
Monkstown these days :-)
