Since "retiring" from the NHS back in 2007, my daily life mainly revolves around The Chickens, The Allotments, gardening, DIY on our Victorian house, and speaking to market researchers outside the Co-op.

 

The other night I dreamt that I bought a bottle of fruit cider, because on the label it said it was giving away a free pear tree (I am after some for the allotments) and a free chicken (which I'd always want, right?). The chicken, when it arrived, was a "Sebright Orange" (I've heard of Sebrights but not the Orange bit - something tells me I might have made that up )!

 

Anyway it was the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It's body was a very bright and shiny ginger colour with tufts of yellow down that looked like that angel hair stuff you can get for Christmas trees, and it had a bright yellow neck. It also ran very fast, as I remember chasing it around the garden trying to catch it.

 

The dream was so vivid, that I relayed it to OH, hence his response.

Well, I suppose this one is quite 'orangey'

Maybe the dream is telling you that your life goal is to breed the Orange Sebright

Had you been eating cheese perchance?

Sounds idylic (apart from the market researchers bit..... )

I thought that too. Enjoy your retirement

 

When I retire I would like much the same.

How lovely! When I'm older I'm going to be a grumpy old woman, and carry lots of bags with fluffy mints at the bottom, I'm going to make my childrens children give me big kisses in front of their friends and I shall take up writing letters, mostly of complaint and also to the Times!

[Happy chickens!]

How old do you have to be to behave like that?

[BeckyBoo]

Oh my goodness, at 6 months past 40 I was still doing the baby bit with an 8 month old and a 2 year old!! I've got a bit of catching up to do then! (serves me right for adding to the brood so late in life )

[chocchick]

Well it sounds lovely to me, and I'm in my late 20s

The orange chicken dream sounds nice
