Updates from the (proto) farm…

Happy December 25th!
PN is grateful that TS is recovering so well post knee-surgery. TS is becoming an Fe-womyn with all of those various (borderline sadistic) physiotherapeutic exercises (Gus [from the clinic], if you're reading this, I don't know whether to thank you or curse you).
