Yawn Yawn, Wakey WAKEY...!! 2015

Good morning everyone,

Right first Job....Find our Shiney...Hope that leg isn't playing up

Beckie ...Pleased to hear Little B is feeling more chipper They can be vocal little madams can't they .When I checked my girls last night the auto door had closed and Lily was locked outI lifted the door and shone the torch on the ramp she came tottering up but when she tried to go in Mabel came and stood in the door way,she put a foot at each side of the door and puffed her wings out as if to say " you're not coming in" after a bit of jabbering she reluctantly let Lily in and then they all settled down,They must have had a fall out...

Lynda.....GET UP you know what day it is don't you?
Have a good shopping day girls,I'm at work again so still have yet to get to Aldi

Moyra,Woo hope you're both OK this morning

Blimey that fog is suddenly coming down it was clear 10 minutes ago

Quick cuppa then Hi Ho

Take it easy everyone and take care

 

Morning early people

Shiney's got computer problems.

 

Morning all

Pleased it's 'just' computer problems for Shiney

Bit misty at the moment but promises to be a glorious day

at Lily and Mabel. Until I joined this thread I didn't realise what characters chooks could be and how they all have such different personalities

Glad Little B is on the mend Beckie. Now get yourself down to Aldi and report back on your plant haul. I have to content myself with second-hand shopping through you and Lynda since my Aldi won't oblige

Waves to Woo, Shiney, Moyra and Lynda. Hope you're all feeling better and the sun shines on you all

Take care everyone and have a great day

 

Good morning everyone,

Shiney, hope your leg is on the mend and also your computer too!
Chooks are amazingly funny characters and give so much pleasure too. Loli, hope yours have sorted out their dispute ok.

Well have fun girls if you are off to Aldi for the best of the rest. I must get Amber out for her walk but it is very foggy here and I was hoping it would lift about first. My leg and shoulder are playing up again but expect they will get better has the day goes on. Need some more of that lovely sun. WOO and Zigs, and all our lovely ladies hope you are all ok. Take care and have a good day.
God Bless.

 

Morning folks, reading all the posts today I feel like I've slept in very late and it's not even 8.30 yet. Only once have I managed to be the first post on this thread. I may, at some point, do it again, but as you were folks and don't hold your breath for it...

Well, very sadly, my bestie can't come down to visit now - aside from her physical and mental health problems she has a virus that has caused her bad breathing problems due to exacerbating her asthma. If Phil caught that it would be really dangerous so we are having to give it a miss this time round. I'm gutted. We go back more than 40 years. I'll miss her, but hopefully she'll be down again soon. For anybody thinking "get yourself up to Newcastle and visit hr you lazy sod" I honestly am more than willing, but can't leave Phil and he won't let anybody else take care of him, it's not that I'm leaving all the arduous travelling to poor Dianne!!

I soooooo love reading about the chickens and their adventures, bless them, they're proper little characters aren't they? @Beckie76 I'm so glad to hear your little lady is on the mend and @Lolimac that story is hilarious, really made me smile. I wish I could have some, but there is enough chaos here already I think

Hope @shiney is okay and gets his computer sorted. @moyra - I hope your leg and shoulder ease up today for you. I know it's not a cure all but sometimes I think the sunshine at least lifts the spirit a little which makes us feel a little better.

@Beckie76 and @Lolimac I will have to spend more money in Aldi now that I'm not seeing Dianne, sort of like comfort eating, but with plants (although I won't eat them) some "horticultural retail therapy" will help things along I'm sure. I shall report back later.

Oh, and I fully admit to showing off here, I've got a smart watch! It controls my phone and does everything the phone does, but strapped to my wrist. I can even take a phone call on it and wander around the field with Baldrick whilst muttering at my wrist and looking even madder than usual

Anyway, have a good day one and all, very misty here in Medway, it was fun watching Baldrick appear out of the mist earlier, his ears flying back in the wind, ready for take off, like the luck dragon, lol.

Happy Thursday all

 

@shiney I was just reading the above posts re crepe bandages for your leg - do you have a Poundland close by? I bought crepe bandages in there, for my knee, but they are different in that they stick to themselves (despite not being sticky!) so you don't have to bother about pins etc and you can have them as tight or loose as you wish. I can't praise them highly enough, they were amazing. If you don't have one nearby and would like to try them I am happy to pop in and get a couple and post them up to you later today? Just let me know. I thought they were a great idea x

 

Good morning everyone,

Shiney....Pleased to see it's you're computer that's playing up and hopefully not your leg
Hmmm that doesn't sound right does it? Hope that is fixed soon too

Lynda...Sorry your friend wasn't on form but as you say it wouldn't have been safe for Phil to be exposed to any lurgys.Hope you get to catch up soon
Your Watch sounds rather fussy I couldn't be let loose with one of those though,I have enough trouble using my old mobile phoneI'm not good with gadgets

I had the same 'carry on' with the chooks again last night This time Lily and Fern were locked outDid the usual shining the torch so they would follow the light,gently slid the door open to be greeted by Mabel who had got herself proper comfy sat right in the doorway on guard duty.I gave Mabel her final warning " stop being so nasty and let your sisters go to bed" she answered me back which sounded like it could be unrepeatable and with that Lily and Fern squeezed through the door trampled over the top of Mabel and got settled down. They're certainly little characters

It's looking like a beautiful day again (I know a song about that),enjoy it everyone
Off to the Workhouse shortly then my weekend off

Have a great day everyone and take care

 

Morning everyone,

Still no Shiney, if I was that bit nearer he could have borrowed my lap top! Hope his leg is improving.
Loli, your lovely hens what characters they are. Is this a set to about those that you brought in to go with the ones you had left still being not properly assimilated. Bit like us lot with our immigrant friends. Fearful to trust everyone.

WOO do be careful of this fog this morning don't want that going on the WOO family's chests - it doesn't look good. If you are walking Penny please be careful as I shall have to be with Amber as my chest and lungs are still not right.

Eve, hope you are achieving all you wish at home, must be difficult backwards and forwards between there and Eastbourne. Hope your Dad will keep safe from this rotten sandy fog.

Becky and Lynda hope you both had a good day at Aldi yesterday. I wonder what goodies you managed to pick up.

Have a good day all, Zigs, hope you are ok down there, stay safe and when it comes enjoy the sunshine!
God bless.

 

Morning all

Beautiful sunny day, now that the fog has cleared

Sorry you're not too well Woo. Wishing you better soon

Thanks for the good thoughts for my Dad, Moyra. He's in hospital at the moment for a few days as he had a bit of a kidney infection so hopefully safe from the pollution. More to the point, you be careful of it when out with Amber. You've had enough problems lately without the pollution getting into your lungs

Hope Shiney sorts out his computer problems soon

Lots of good thoughts to all, hope it's a sunny day for everyone

 

Good morning everyone,

This site seems to be playing up a bit this morning something about a long playing script? Your guess is as good a mine.

Have a good day all, hope all poorlies are on the mend. I'm off to take Amber for her walk.
God bless.
