More superglue needed!

  Early start in San Marino, the animals are nice and dry in the garage,  shearing kit set up and away we go. First alpaca,  first nick, second alpaca stabbed with end of comb, third alpaca has grass seed in rear leg shears go straight through small abscess. As Jon put it,"I'm three for three." not good! I changed the comb and cutter, and the bad mojo is gone, we complete the twelve without incident. Lunch and Chrissie arrives to take us to Pierantonia.
  When we arrive at Casa San Gabriel, David and Chrissie's daughters have the situation under control, Ellie and Lucia have the animals, clean, stabled and the area ready for shearing. Off we go, the sight of two little faces watching, while they collected the fleece, meant no slip ups here. All went well until Sylvester, the last one, and the unthinksble happened....he disgraced himself ! Dad then had to take over, he wasn't as efficient as the girls but he completed his task and we were done. Time for a swim. David had suggested we use the pool last year, and we would have been the first to use it that year but we didn't have time. This year Jon and myself had an envigorating swim, but weren't the first to use it, some military guys beat us to it. I think David was just saying this, because there was a prize and he didn't want to give it to us. Not that I would know what to do with a new Moania anyway, whatever that is. Beer, dinner, wine and good conversation then off to bed.
