Griffin Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Leaving in 45 minutes to collect my girls from my parents house I've missed them so much. They sound like they've had a lovely time. I'm taking the dogs with me and we're having a picnic at our favourite nature reserve before coming home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I''ve posted this elsewhere too but I'm so happy and proud I can't help posting here too . The Scottish Qualifications Authority have botched up again but I'm quite happy as it meant YS got his Higher results a day early . 29,000 out of 160,000 students got their results by text today by mistake. He got an A in Biology, A in English, A in Geography and B in Chemistry . I can't stop grinning . He doesn't even know yet as he's away and won't be expecting a text from me till tomorrow .

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hopefully . The current requirement for his chosen degree is 4 Bs so he should be fine even if they up it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It does my heart good to look out of my kitchen window and see Peaches, my eight week old Salmon Faverolles pullet They're my favourite chickens and having tragically lost two in the past she brings a smile to my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 my dog is BORED but the rain is still horizontal and I have no desire whatsoever to go out... nor does he really as he wont even go in the garden for a pee!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Traces of E Coli in the mains water supply. Found out after OH and I had cleaned our teeth this morning I boiled water for DS and DD for teeth cleaning and the furry pet water bowls. Bottled water now bought. I am not sure how I am going to fill up the Chicken's water containers (6 litre and 12 litre containers) tonight, better start boiling the kettle and pouring into buckets to cool down.

The Dogmother Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 OO errrr. I think that you can get water sterilising tablets quite cheaply from a pharmacy, or at least you used to be able to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Eek, that's not good . I had to buy water sterilizing tablets for YS going to Borneo - they weren't cheap at all . Perhaps there's a cheaper version for this country though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 The bacteria was found during routine testing of the water on Wednesday. I don't know how it got into the water supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
