Sure, we all know there’s not much to do in Wales, but apparently that gives them plenty of time to get really good at sheep herding. Give these guys a bunch of sheep, a couple of dogs and some LED lights, and look out! Hours of entertainment!

Hat tip to George from TerraCycle for sending over the video and ensuring that I got zero work done this afternoon. Thanks, a lot, George.
