I’m no expert in this field (the field of animal excrement) but I’d question whether sheep shit actually “comes out quite dry”. Surely freshly produced sheep poo pellets are like freshly produced chocolate raisins in as much as they are initially wet but then go on to dry. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have need of a word describing the dung encrusted wool hanging off the rear end of a sheep – “dag”.

Anyway, as I said I’m no expert but that doesn’t mean that I’m not interested. So the next time you’re at the zoo please check out the camel poo for moistness. I’m assuming it will be fairly dry as I believe they only eat sand.

Finally, I appreciate that you’d be hard pushed to crowbar in a reference to “my Palestinian crime novels” within a nostalgic post about sheep shagging and sheep shit in Wales, but you must try harder as it rather spoils my game of bingo when you don’t slip one in, as it were. Don’t leave it for me to do again next time.
