Let's see...life ~ threatening diseases and humid jungles one way, an arduous overland route and angry Native Americans the other way...uhh...I think I'll pass that offer, guys. For one, I'm not an enthusiastic traveller, and, two, I hate being away from home for any length of time. I am very tempted by Skillshare ~ it looks amazing ~ but I'm going to pass up that offer; I have no independent source of income as of now [my Mother looks after my money for me] and I don't want to get myself into any more paid subscription services for now. P.S: Brief sheep update: Cleo the Sheep has finally had her lamb; it's two days and a half old, and, so far, has been given the name Violet because of the colour of the dye they sprayed her with in case she gets mixed up with another farmer's sheep.
