No tips for this cow.

I am thrilled to report that no Bistro Ceello visitors attempted to tip me, and so, I am still standing! Ready for my Mothers Day adventure at Hogs Breath - a  steak restaurant. I was a little concerned at first, but I am assured that Dairy Cows do not make good 'eating'... humans are a little concerning, if you would like my opinion! I am pictured here with my human keeper and her small helper. They have given me very good exercise lately, keeping my pins in nice shape. I just love the fresh air, and the great chats we get to have with human strangers along the way. I really am a very lucky Dairy Cow!

The weather's fresian out here . . .

I had an enjoyable morning at the Conservatorium today, and got a blast from the brass players..... it is a shame I didn't see the string teachers, as they certainly are a little less windy and more highly strung that the other moosicians! I went for another walk today, down the main street of Orange! I think it is fair to say that I stopped traffic! I am now enjoying a social outing on the balcony of Bistro Ceello. (it's fresian!) Just lovely chatting to the locals - they really are friendly out here. I am NOT going anywhere near the kitchen, however, as I have seen the very large carving knives out there. I am pretty sure I would be safe with Chef Want, even though I have heard that he wants to carve my rump! ... the braised mooshrooms look good, as does the duck leg. (not for me, as I am of the vegetarian inclination, myself!) A word of warning to patrons - DONT TIP THE COWS! .... they fall over!!

the perfect accompaniment - a bovine moosician

After my exhausting attempt at indoor soccer and cowmando, I was thrilled to find myself in the 'link'of the Orange Regional Conservatorium. Things were a little largo here this afternoon, but I am assured it builds to a  crescendo come Saturday morning. I am led to beleive that all the  musicians will emerge for their jam sessions. I have also heard that I am to feature in the Youth Orchestra on the main stage! WOW! I really must be famous! Moos Brothers, Moolin Rouge and The Sound of Moosic... Oh! The list could go on. I wait in anticipation for an udderly moosical day, tomorrow...

Laughabull sporting skills!

I have learned the hard way that a Dairy Cow is not designed to be a sporting star! Apart from the my excellent speed as an indoor soccer ''sweeper'', there is alot of room for improvement. Netball is out of the question, as is Actionball. I have considered the play equipment in Play on Indoor as an option for sport . . .  Cowmando sports has potential one would think? I am, however, exhausted and am resting for the afternoon.... call me a Cowch potato!! I am dreaming of some green paddocks .... were they in Coquimbo (COW)?

Playing the Field at Play on Indoor

I have said goodbye to the lovely girls at Marally Craft who have really looked after me well. I was inspired by the range of patchwork fabrics, beads, and even scrapbooking products that I got to chew amongst last night. I am sure I could be a very creative cow if I had the right appendages... Lets face it - I am in a very creative body!
I have learnt that many people were really surprised to see how large I am in real life during my stay with Marally. Maybe the people of Orange have not seen real life sized cows before? I am life size aren't I?
After my walk yesterday, I was shocked to learn that I am to spend the next few days in a sporting complex called Play on Indoor. It looks like the humans get some enjoyment out of running themselves out of breath and crashing into each other! I sincerely hope they do not get any ideas about teaching this old cow any sort of sporting skills. Really - I am made to look beautiful! I wonder if there another word for beautiful that I could translate to a name? How about Bovinia? That could work... Until my next paddock - wish me luck!

Feeling crafty at Marally

After my walk this morning, I have been placed in the most beautiful paddock with Marally Craft. I was mooved to learn that the material and sparkles for my very own tutu were purchased from Marally. What a great shop - full of everything you could possible need for a variety of craft projects. Even for a cow tutu! Here is a picture of me arriving.

Uddering goodbye to Harvey World Travel!

Another paddock cleaned up, and I am on the moove again.... I was completely stimulated at Harvey World, and, really, who could think of a better occupation? Oh - other than a Dairy Cow, of course! I enjoyed my day off, yesterday, and was quite entertained by the humans passing the window.... especially late at night. It is no wonder they (humans) have trouble teaching animals! Speaking of humans, I do miss mine from Orange Grammar. I wonder what they are learning today? I took a brisk walk down a few streets of Orange, this morning. Apparently that is not the done thing in Orange, because I received many looks from passing traffic! Here is a picuture of me uddering goodbye to Harvey World Travel - you can almost see the tears in my eyes! CIAO! SAYONARA....
