Sorry we’ve been absent… we’ve had a bigpond outage for a couple of days. Things happened in the meantime, nothing earth shattering, but we have decided to rename our cow. On the morning I went outside to find her apparently dead (yet not, after closer inspection and an emergency vet visit at 7.30am), totally recumbent, legs all stiff, bloated, I texted my sister and said “why did I name her Maybe?”. I like the sound of the word, it’s shape in my mouth, but it’s a dangerous name to crown a cow with… well, a strange and edgy cow. We thought Listen (since we whisper to her alot, many secrets and encouragement to get well), and also cos it’s the name of a character in a book which is whimsically lovely, and again, I like the way it rolls around the mouth…

The obvious alternative is Definitely. Deffo… ? I’m not convinced…

Anyway, what do you think?

Much love, farmgrrl Virginia xx

PS: When suggesting names, please remember that we have to call this out a number of times a day, so if you wouldn’t mind, try it out in your own backyard, call out the name a few times quite loudly, and see if it works *in the field* so to speak! x
