A good day

It is said that one man's meat is another's poison.

This thought came strongly to mind this afternoon when I got an email from Vetboy describing his first rectal examination of a cow. He was delighted and full of enthusiasm for the process, describing it to me in detail. Unaccustomed to such lurid detail, I could only feel glad that I had not had to stand behind a large bovine and insert my arm into its rectum.

Vetboy on the other hand ended his long chatty email with the simple words "it's been such a good day".
