It's been an odd few days, and now it will be an odd few years.
This won't fix the problems many of us are facing right now, but as we roll into #DefaidodonDay #DyddDefaidodon I implore anyone and everyone to join in!
Every year on Nov 7 we celebrate #Defaidodon - a day of #sheep #LambSpam and #SheepOfMastodon
I for one need cheering up, and I'm betting many more of us do too.
Let's get some woolly goodness into everyone's feeds, and if but for a moment add a little merriment to the week
I'll add my favourites here throughout the day:

I just want to say a maaaaaassive thank you for all the amazing alt text on our #DefaidodonDay pictures, it's incredibly meaningful to me to see so many people adding great descriptions to their uploads, diolch yn fawr iawn!
Not everyone can get the alternative text added in, but feel free to ask for help with the #AltText4You tag.
I think we'll call that a win. We saw over 200 sheep, some goats, two llamas /pretending/ to be sheep, chickens, one donkey, and technically there were also crows.
A few hours to go but all in all a fantastic showing!
#DefaidodonDay 2024
We felt sick this morning when we woke to see that Trump had taken Pennsylvania and with it the White House
It was the same feeling we had on 24 June 2016 when we woke to the result of the brexshit referendum
Putin has succeeded in winning the Cold War without a shot being fired
I fear for all our futures and the future of our planet
Much love to you both
@jaz I'll see what I can get when I go for my walk on my lunch break! :)
@jaz I think I boosted one from Brazil too
@jaz
Estonia especially Saaremaa
@jaz OK. Now I get it. Had not heard of #defaidodonday. Will remember remember the 7th oft November ;-)
@jaz Very very cute.
@jaz Does it have to stop?
It was such a treat in my timeline in the middle of this terrible time.
@kristinHenry @jaz Don't worry, #Defaidodon is an ongoing thing. It just gets an extra push once a year, but people post sheep pictures all year round.
Follow #Defaidodon for the regular stuff, November 7 is just the day we celebrate the hashtag.
You can also follow @llamasoft_ox who posts Morning Sheep Time every day - he and @gilesgoat have a small flock they feed and cuddle with every day.
