Share a thought

[Rusco]

Ok, we have few threads about good laughs, feeling sad and other strong emotions.

But here we could say if you've just something in your mind that may bother you, or if there's some thought about life in general you'd like to share with us. Maybe it's some statement about your views depending on...what?
Oh, you know better. 

I did not find any other thread where I could tell about a strange thing that happened last midnight before I went to sleep. Well at first it was definately something that prevented me about falling asleep as soon as I wanted to.
I think I'll remember this for the rest of my life. Ok:

There was a pack of wolves at a road that leads to our house. It was 40 meters distance to me. I was having a cig outside. I did not see the wolves but heard them. They were making their social "whining" like voices and shunned immediately when I took few steps towards them. Then it was silent but I knew they were that close to me. I went inside, turned off the lights and opened a small window and continued listening. Then they started to cause their voices again. This was the first time I'm that near to them and I've seen a wolf only once in my life about 3-4 years ago.

Wolves have been nearly extinct here due to hunting and fear of humans. But their numbers have been increasing very slowly for years and years. There are nowadays about 3 herds in the county I'm living.

I feel confused and excited.

You took steps towards them? No worries  about becoming dinner ?

I've always fancied a pet wolf.  A tame one, obviously.

I guess it's only been in relatively recent times that in western Europe humans have not lived alongside Wolves (In the UK it is thought that the last wolves were killed around the end of the 14th century) so there is probably still an instinctive fear inside us of a potential predator, a bit like the instinct around snakes, however we also are aware that we are at the top of the food chain and unless hungry or threatened wolves will also listen to their self-preservation voices and stay away from us. So I can understand how encountering a group of wolves would be both confusing and exciting. I think that is how I would feel if it happened to me.

Wolf populations in Europe seem to stem from Russian/Eastern Europe with a few packs in Portugal/Spain/Italy and latterly Germany. Lone wolves and "advance guards" have been reported as far as the Netherlands but not stable resident populations as yet. How this is viewed probably depends on whether or not you are a livestock farmer. Either way I guess you were  lucky to have your experience Rusco

Work sucks n i hate stairs there's two

I am working with horses for the first time. I have ridden briefly in the past and worked with dogs but this is hard.
they can tell when you are feeling anxious. I tried to lead on after putting on a head collar and he bit my leg very hard.
It swell up to twice it's size and made a massive bruise. If wearing shorts, he would have bitten an entire chuck of meat from me leg. he them front kicks my other leg. I am not afraid of him but must work with him. he knows it.

Another time I walked one of the horse away from paddock. he bolted ran and started jumping. I was hanging on to his rope and he dragged me across a potato field. i eventually fell and just dodged breaking my arm.

I am not not so sure i like horses. Now my entire body is bruised and sore.
I feel as if i have failed and It's not a good feeling. I have given so much effort to the point i have only had one day in 19 off.  I can pick up poo, feed them, brush and do other things good. but when they bite it really hurts. They could kick me in the head and kill me if they wanted.

I've always wanted a pet cow.

I didn't see them and at first didn't know what's going on. There's a terrace outside our house where I was. When I went out I immediately heard the noise they were making but didn't realise what's going on, where does that strange voice come out. It sounded like it came from behind our house and the road goes there too. So I walked towards it and at the same time thought there's something familiar in it, I've heard that somewhere earlier. Then I remembered it was a voice that wolves actually did in a certain radio broadcast. What a feeling when you realise there's probably 4-5 pairs of beast's gloomy eyes staring at you in the dark.

It wasn't classical howling but the latter voice I heard was when I went inside.

I'm going to a Fireworks display tonight.

It set off memories. Some sad, many happy.

I love the smell of tar. Tar is so handy with everything depending on wood, buildings, roofs, and especially the tar pastilles!

It's the start of the weekend. Take away night!  meet up with me old mate Dave tomorrow in some dodgy Northamptonshire or Leicestershire Hostelry. It's game season, so hope to pick up a pheasant for Sunday dinner at a proper butchers.

GC1 will be OK next week, GC3 will need re-locking on Monday morning, she was only 0.003 minutes away from intolerance last Monday. Still, my hydrogen generator is working better now with a purer water supply. Technical grade helium has not degraded the columns so far. Although it will in the long run and use more oxygen filters.

Service for all analytical instruments scheduled for end of the month. Syringes, septa, inlet liners, gold seals, ferrules all in my cupboard.

Just sharing what's on my mind
