Valkyrie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Morning - another bright and frosty day here. Late last night I had to watch the sports news because I had to see how Cardiff got on - and I don't like footie anymore! Debs! We had a busy time in the garden and ran out of bark, so we are off later to try and finish what we started. Still too early to sow anything in the greenhouse because my little plants were affected by the cold - hopefully the fleece over the top will help. The naughty girls are having dirt baths in all the veggie beds - bit like Goldilocks - try this patch, no that bit, ooh that's sunny lets go here. We also have naughty mousie back in the dirtbath collecting acorns and munching them - well nibbles here there and everywhere and a little store of corn that the girls left somehow. So no food down below and only up the top here - which is difficult because there are acorns everywhere. I shall very likely have my own little New Forest when they start to sprout in the veggie beds. Murray was clucking to the hens yesterday - harrrrr! Saw Lewis' babies on the other posting. Ooh Tasha - feel cold after reading your news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Our little lavender pekin is a dirty little lavender pekin. Still has anti-peck over her. I will give her a bath later when it warms up more. Well, they all need a bath. Must get out in the garden soon - just as soon as I finish my cawfeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well I did somebody's feet yesterday, but they seem to be clearing up. No sign of nasties on the footsies, just sprayed and let them paddle on the draining board for good measure. I remember - twas Sadie - she found the pine kernels and chomped while I squirted, Erin had to lift her up so I could get a good coating. The fat ladies bloomers are filthy though. Tipsy's feet are permanently muddy - she just gets right in. I can just see the green sheen trying to show on the silkie - but mudball just refuses to look pretty. Squirted Squirt too for footsies - so far so good, and Patch. They also had diatom deodorant - as did I when I put them down. I'm still louse and mite free. May not see you all until tonight Won't be able to reach the keyboard after 2 pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleTree Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Apple caramel pie sound gorgeous We went to a 40th birthday party last night, it was hubby's work colleague. I only knew 2 other people there, wasn't too bad though. Hubby is feeling a little poorly, they had Otley beer on tap and plenty of red wine for free, he's only just made it into the shower after laying on the sofa all morning with his head hidden It wasn't even a late night we left at 10:30pm. Going to Mothercare/ELC this afternoon to get Oliver a birthday present. He's so difficult to buy for as he just plays with all of Danny's toys. Ah well sure we'll find something.

Geoid Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I finally got my phone out and took a pic of my chickens: The one on the left is Cajun, the middle one is Honey and the one on the right is Tandoori (for some reason the pic is really small, dunno why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I hate it when people don't read instructions, they normally end up doing it wrong, or complaining that it doesn't work or something. Example: Person: Useless piece of junk doesn't work! Me: Did you read the instructions? Person: No, I never do... Me: Picks up instructions, reads them, fixes 'piece of junk' that now works.

Lewis Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Look good Freda I can normally manage without instructions Might get to them as a last resort though Just been in t' garden - we now have a clean drive and patio. Father bought a new jet wash yesterday after asking for ages - I think the box helped, Tasha Gerald + Jemima are splashing around in the sun in the tubtrug and pond ... could have ducklings in a few weeks Even more exciting news though ....

Valkyrie Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well done Cilla! Ahhh I'm sure the duckies have grown. @ Redder's shed footy bits. Now Fred's girlies are really in the bright sunshine there - Honey almost glows! Murray is watching Reading - I've heard a lot of cheering - must be doing OK then.

ClaireG Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Well...how we're you supposed to know they wern't feet Tasha ?? Simon hardly ever reads instructions either, says they are for people who don't know what they are doing Lovely Cilla egg and nice to see your girls Fred Now Cooks how long do we have to wait until you get your new girls? Am dying to know what your calling them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Afternoon all Been out with the girls for a few hours, have come back in to have a cup of coffee and a slice of apple pie and to give Henry a fuss. I had to bring him back inside as he was barking at the girls today Will go back out in a bit though as it is a lovely day Intros are going well, apart from Nyssa who is being a right evil monster She has bled Dodos comb again All going well apart from that though. But dynamics are very interesting. Sarah-Jane still top, Rose still second (these are the only ones Dodo will run from), Dodo is definitely above Donna and the ex batts. Although Romana and Nyssa are seeing these intros as a way to elevate their status It is fascinating to watch the pecking order in action Phil aka David Bailey has had the camera out, so will sift through all the photos he's taken, and may upload a few good ones later Fred - your girls are lovely Lewis - Great to see Cilla's egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
