Just a quick update, we went to a rodea the other day, first one in Te Kuiti for years. Started off with some young bulls but progressed to some serious looking bulls by the end. Most seem to go away unscathed although I'm sure pretty sore the next day. One guy got seriously injured as they wrap the rope around their hands when their riding meaning you can get caught up after you've fallen off. Basically being dragged around by a 1 tonne bull by your arm leading to dislocated shoulder I reckon in this instance. Also it is kitten season here so there are a few photos of Vickis (nurse) hand reared - 4-5 week old kittens- very cute.
