Chicken bald back

[Chickvic]

nasty! Were the mealworms live or dried?

[Space Chick]

Dried, but still

[Chickvic]

Crispy! Remind you of pork scratchings or something?

[Space Chick]

 

I didn't really eat them, only dream Debs did, and even dream Debs hated them

[PurpleTree]

Morning all.

 

I've been to the docs with Dan this morning. I sent dad around for 8am - tis hopeless getting through on the phone - he got an appointment for 8:30am. I had the world's fastest shower, got dressed super quick, then blasted my hair with the dryer. Luckily hubby hadn't left for work so he dropped us off in the car.

 

Guess what the doc said? It's a virus! Good to know it's not on his chest though.

 

I had a 'feeling old' moment though, as it was a new doctor and he seemed to be either the same age or younger than me. I still expect doctors to be older than me.

 

No more vampire books/films for you Debs

[Space Chick]

I know the feeling, my GP is 2 years younger than me. However, because she also has chickens we have become quite friendly

[Lewis]

Finished school for the weekend

 

I did the Simon + Garfunkel, Sound of Silence assembly with one of the physics technicians (who I was teaching to do the lights + sound for assembly for when I'm gone )

... I was just walking out of school to go home and the head came over and summond me

and the technician to his office

 

 

 

... "Lewis, do you like chocolate cake?"

- its his birthday so we were round the board table in his office and had birthday cake - nice way to finish the week!

[Space Chick]

Chocolate Cake with the Head, you are honoured Lewis

[PurpleTree]

wow Lewis you must be Star Pupil

 

Our old head master used to sit in his office smoking cigars, none of us got invited in to join him though.

[Space Chick]

How is Dan feeling PurpleTree? Hope he's felling better

[Lewis]

Its because we always have to sort out anything 'technical' for him.

 

He always waves at me in the corridor

 

 

I was just going to ask how he was too?

[PurpleTree]

He seems a bit better, we've been doing colouring in this afternoon and my parents came round to see him. My mum shared a big orange with him. He ate a boiled egg for his lunch too and we're treating him (and ourselves) to fish and chips for tea.

 

He's still talking in a bit of a feeble voice though, and sounding like Darth Vader.

[clootie]

Sounds like he's perking up a wee bit. That's good news

 

Fish and chips might just be what the doctor ordered

[PurpleTree]

Typically he's just fallen asleep on the sofa I've been trying to persuade him to have a sleep all afternoon, and hubby should be home with the chips soon, I also need to go wake Olly up - he's been asleep since about half 1, and he'll probably wake Dan up, and then there will be screaming and crying all round. Oh the joys of being a mother.

[Chickvic]

Hope he woke up ok and there weren't too many tantrums It's horrid actually when they're not very well. Hope he feels better soon.

[Scramble]

Hope he feels better soon .xx

 

...weekend

I'm out on a sleepover again tomorrow so not a lot of commenting from me

[Space Chick]

Enjoy your sleepover

[Geoid]

I have just come back from the pub.....

I brought my laptop into school today, used it instead of pen and paper. My teachers didnt even bat an eyelid!

[Space Chick]

Are you old enough for the pub Fred?!?

[Geoid]

Yes....

[Space Chick]

I thought you were GCSE age?????

[Geoid]

It wasn't just me, my parents were at the pub also.

[Valkyrie]

Hi guys and girls.

Ooh so much I have missed (Yoda again ).

Sounds like the little munchkin is getting better - it wasn't until later in the evening I knew what I had forgot to mention. I had a sore throat and it got worse as the evening went on, so I couldn't find any lemon proper, but I did have some bitter lemon (for my fidgety legs - always have that to hand now), so I guzzled some of that (nice comfy night with no fidgets) but I did have a spoonful of honey before I turned in. It seemed to do the trick and I haven't had a sore throat at all since.

Well done Lewis. One brilliant school report coming up!

So whatsup in this camp here? Not a lot, but I managed to get hold of Erin's washing at last - it decided to walk to the machine on it's own. Created havoc on the stairs because some bits were too impatient and trampled on the slower items. Took mum to Mandy's farm in Whitchurch to get more veg. MORE VEG!!! I have run out of spuds and onions and there were lots of other nice home grown veggies that I haven't got. Nice trip in the sun, cloudy on the way home.

Then mum did the ironing and I did more cleaning and sorting out the utility and all the chicken bits.

Then takeaway Friday again. Murray went into the kitchen and started muttering. Went like this: Why hasn't anyone emptied the bin, it's not exactly rocket science or is it.

I said nothing, but the next time he leaves the empty loo roll on the holder without replacing it I might just repeat his very words. The other alternative is to swap the smaller recycling bin so that there won't be so much put in there and I can easily take the bin out - otherwise the present bin is so big and heavy. So I went to put some little bit of rubbish in and found he had stuffed all the rubbish from the takeaway on top. Obviously it IS rocket science after all.

Happy Saturday
