A Neotenic Tweet for A Happy New 'Ewe'r!














As Mr C. is out counting his chickens before they hatch (not to difficult even for him as he only has 6 in total), I decided to cast a cold eye (have you seen the Irish weather lately) over his blog entries during the last year. Although the blog posts now exceed 150 discourses, most of which contain levels of corn best reserved for the said hens, a quick glance of the viewing stats reveal that the most popular blog entry was the one referring
to Little Bo Peep and his lost ‘sheep’ followers. Well, all I can say is that I could have told ‘ewe’ so as a photo of yours truly, Mr Bo Peep, features prominently on this page posting. So I think that it is only fitting on New ‘Ewe’rs Eve to page tribute to these valiant sheep who have continued to provide mental sustenance to the forlorn Mr. C with their tweet little ‘hogget’s’ of wisdom during the last year. Thus I would like to try and list some of these small ruminants before the shepherd returns to resume his attempts to bore his flock further. Needless to say because of the worldwide reach of Twitter there are sheep followers across the globe with for example the St Louis Rams in the USA and lots of ewe-ro sheep throughout Europe. But I have found no better way to falling asleep than trying to count my sheep and I would like to apologise in advance if I omit any little lamb who may have inadvertently strayed during the year. Remember there is no ‘fleece’ on me, so here goes a list of some of my woollier flock —
