Sheepdog Trials, where a farmer and his dog try to manoeuvre sheep through obstacles, used to be on TV on a Sunday night when I was young.
The 2016 NZ Sheepdog Trials were on in Omarama this week and I managed to catch a couple of the final runs.

I’m going to start a series of photos from Saskatchewan; one of my favourite places to be. Inspired by “The Wild Prairie Man”

Just been recommended the Gitx program (http://gitx.frim.nl) - what a pretty interface, with right click to checkout, branch and merge. Amazing!
Suddenly your git repository looks like the London Underground! My octopus looks wonderful! :D
Statue of Saint Scholastica (c.480 - c.547) at the Abbey of Montecassino.
St Gregory the Great describes a colourful episode in the life of Saints Benedict and Scholastica in his dialogues (book 2), as read in the Office of Readings on the Feast of St Scholastica (10th February):
'When darkness was setting in, they took their meal together and continued their conversation at table until it was quite late. Then the holy nun said to him, "Please do not leave me tonight; let us keep on talking about the joys of heaven until morning."
"What are you saying, sister?" he replied. "You know I cannot stay away from the monastery."
At her brother's refusal, Scholastica folded her hands on the table and rested her head upon them in earnest prayer. When she looked up again, there was a sudden burst of lightening and thunder, accompanied by such a downpour that Benedict and his companions were unable to set foot outside the door.
Realizing tha he could not return to the monastery in this terrible storm, Benedict complained bitterly. "God forgive you, sister", he said. "What have you done?"
Scholastica simply answered, "When I appealed to you, you would not listen to me. So I turned to my God and he heard my prayer. Leave now if you can. Leave me here and go back to your monastery."
This, of course, he could not do. He has no choice now but to stay, in spite of his unwillingness. They spent the entire night together and both of them derived great profit from the holy converse they had about the interior life.'
